Hi All. 

I need to write a line in a text file that contains quotes I need the output
to be:

"NotifyRouterUpdate"="EM"

I've tried encapsulating the entire string in another set of qoutes: 
filetxt.WriteLine (""NotifyRouterUpdate" = "EM"")

but I am getting an error:

Compile Error:

Expected: list seperator or )

Thanks

You need to use two quotes when you want one inside the
text.

	"NotifyRouterUpdate""=""EM"

A quoted string starts with a " and ends with the next " - so you're getting a
zero length string "", followed by an (UNQUOTED!) text NotifyRouterUpdate,
followed by a text string " = " and so on.

The trick to include a doublequote inside a string delimited by doublequotes
is to double the doublequote: "" inside a string constant will be interpreted
as a " character. So try

filetxt.WriteLine ("""NotifyRouterUpdate"" = ""EM""")
