I want to be able to add a quote symbol within a quoted filed code. For
example {Set MyText "This is my name "Rey""} Then later use {Ref MyText} and
get This is my name "Rey"
I tried {Set MyText "This is my name {SYMBOL 34 \a}Rey{SYMBOL 34 \a}"} but
it does not work. Anyone has any idea of how to do this?

{ Set MyText { Quote " This is my name { Quote 34 Rey 34 }}"}

Thank you very much. It did the trick with a little enhancement on my part to
cover a case I had oversimplified in my question. Here is the more general
one.
{ Set MyText { Quote " This is my name { Quote 34 "Rey Smith" 34 }} whether
you like it or not"}
Note the quotes in the inner quote to include a whole string with blanks, etc.

Hi Greg,

That would need to be:

{ Set MyText { Quote " This is my name { Quote 34 }Rey{ Quote 34 }" } }

Doug, either way appears to work equally well for me.

I agree both ways work and so does th ethird one I shared and actually used.
Incidentally, the reason we have these three ways, I think, is that
documetation for fieldcode QUOTE is not very good. And that is an
understatement.
