" character

[Sebastien Chassande-Barrioz <se...@inrialpes.fr>]

hi,

I have a problem to set a variable with the " character:
#set($toto="hello")
#set($foo="\"${toto}")
$foo

renders:
\"hello

but I would like just:
"hello


The following other case occurs an error:
#set($foo=""${toto}")

I does not find in the documentation any information about escaping the 
" character in a string. How is it possible ?

regards,
Seb

Re: " character

[Christoph Reck <Ch...@dlr.de>]

The current way of getting a quote into a string is using
a formal declaration:

#set( $Q = '"' )
#set( $foo="$Q$toto" )

Note that anything within single quotes in a VTL parameter (within 
a set or in a method call) will not be touched by Velocity.
so you can also write #set($foo='"hello').

Note that I use a similar trick to get newlines into strings:
#set( $NL = $forms.uudecode('%0A') )## $forms is a user written context tool.

Hope this helps,
:) Christoph
