how can I store a string with variable in it, in another variable? - reejais - 11-11-2010

Hi All,

I have a string like this

Code:
<A href="manage_contact_edit.htm?contactId=newstr>Edit</A>

where newstr is a variable

I want to store the above string in a variable like this

Code:
str = "<A href="manage_contact_edit.htm?contactId=newstr>Edit</A>"

Its giving me an error "Expected End of Statement"

can anybody tell me how to store the above string in a variable?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Reema.

Hi Reema,

The error is occurring as the number of double quotes is odd in the given statement.

Code:
str = "<A href="manage_contact_edit.htm?contactId=newstr>Edit</A>"

You may try this:

Code:
str = "<A href='manage_contact_edit.htm?contactId=" + newstr + "'>Edit</A>"

Please let me know if still any problem.

Hi Saini,

The problem is that I want that quotes to be there.

Just one more thing to add to this

how can I write this statement

Do Until (s(i) = " " ")
Loop

The problem is " here.... I want to compare S(i) with "

How can I write this?

Thanks
Reema.

Hi Reema,

Work around Smile

Strore <A href="manage_contact_edit.htm?contactId=newstr>Edit</A> in datatable and fetch it from there

Code:
str = DataTable.Value("A",1)

msgbox str

Thanks,

Rajeshwar

Work around Smile

try:

Code:
str = "<A href=" & chr(34) & "manage_contact_edit.htm?contactId=newstr>Edit</A>"

Here I am using the ASCII code of double quote, 34.

Try:
MsgBox str

To see the value of str
