Really possibly stupid question

It has been many years since I have sat down and coded in quickbasic, so bear with me.

I am writing a simple program to then compile to exe that will take various inputs and then one off generate a Windows unattended answer file.

The answer file has variables that are wrapped in double quotes such as in this section:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
AutoPartition=1
MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"

How do I get the quotes to print with the PRINT command? This is what I assumed I could do (Note that I am appending to a file with each line):

PRINT #1, " MsDosInitiated="0""

However when I change lines, the editor/compiler changes the line to:

PRINT #1, " MsDosInitiated="; 0; ""

Thanks in advance for the help!
Jason.

Code: Select all

PRINT #1, "MsDosInitiated="+CHR$(34)+"0"+CHR$(34)

34 is the ASCII code for "

Happy coding.
