Here is what I am trying to accomplish.



I've created a program that will determine what boxes are checked then based
on those checkboxes input it associated line into a batch file.



Below is the script I am working with.



Private Sub cmdGo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles cmdGo.Click

FileOpen(1, "install.bat", OpenMode.Output)

If rdoOfficeSta.Checked = True Then

WriteLine(1, "\\Filesrv\Apps\Office 2003 Professional\Setup.exe"
/settings "\\filesrv\apps\Office 2003 Professsional\Files\Setup\all.ini")

End If



The issue I am having is that the WriteLine(1, " area. It doesn't enjoy the
" after the Setup.exe. It associates that with the end of the parameter.



When I am done I want this file to inport into a batch file the following.



"\\Filesrv\Apps\Office 2003 Professional\Setup.exe" /settings
"\\filesrv\apps\Office 2003 Professsional\Files\Setup\all.ini"



However, I'm getting this:



"'\\Filesrv\Apps\Office 2003 Professional\Setup.exe' /settings
'\\filesrv\apps\Office 2003 Professsional\Files\Setup\all.ini'"



It adds the single quotes and that will not work in the batch file. How can
I make it so it understand the entire thing and not just from the first
quote to the second one.



HELP!!!

You will have two double quotes inside the string in order to get a
single double quote:

\\\
Dim s As String = _
"""\\Filesrv\Apps\Office 2003 Professional\Setup.exe"" /settings ""\\filesrv\apps\Office 2003 Professsional\Files\Setup\all.ini"""
///

As an alternative you can use 'ControlChars.Quote':

\\\
Dim s As String = _
"He said: " & ControlChars.Quote & "Hello World!" & ControlChars.Quote
