Adding literal single quotes to a string

User: "andyer"

Hi all,

 

I would like to add literal single quotes to a string, e.g. the end results of the string output should look like:

 

'this is the string'.

 

For example, in Octave you might do this like this with escape characters and double quotes:

my_var = "\'this is the string\'"

I don't believe this is supported directly in Compose, but is there any other way this possible to add literal single string characters in Compose?

Thanks!

Best - Andy

    You're right! In previous versions you can use two single quotes, but I also get an error in 2022.3. Thanks for noticing that. My other way of doing it is:

    [char(39), 'this is the string', char(39)]
