Post Double quotes Reply with quote
I am trying to build a command line command and put it into a variable. I need to have quotes around a part of the command.

How can I add a " using the concat command?

Thank you

JavaScript and JAL scripts: use \ symbol to escape double quotes and other special symbols, that includes regular \ too.
Shell/batch scripts: Tho depends on the target environment and scripting dialect.
