Is there any way to delimit certain characters?

My delima is this:

I am working on a script that converts plain text to html and I want to include various attributes to tags, i.e:

set mystring to "<table width="100%" height="100%">" as string

The editor gets confused with the quotes inside the value and I need to somehow delimit those. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

You’ll need to “escape” the quotes with preceeding back-slashes…

set mystring to "<table width="100%" height="100%">" as string

HTH
