You can use the static variable QUOTE or chr(34). Never the less, I think I saw an Erel's post these days, where is said that we can insert the " inside a string, but I cannot remember right now the link :sign0013:

In your case you can also use single quotes (') instead of double quotes.

Starting from v2.50 you will be able to write quotes inside strings: Basic4android v2.50 BETA is released!

This is true. In general, I've seen some inconsistencies moving from " to ', I think it was in javaScript, but can't remember now exactly. Anyway, nothing to do with b4a (actually seen it in php's echo).

For a single ", you can insert ""

Eg.

Dim StrHelloWorld = "I love to type ""Hello world"""

The string stored is:

I love to type "Hello world"
