- ## Recently I needed to add two double quotes in certain places in a text file that my script was building.
- ## Certain ASCII characters can be tricky to deal with. I get around the problem by assigning the ASCII value(s)
- ## to a variable, then just call the variable when needed. The ASCII value for a double quote is 34, and I
- ## needed to add two double quotes. Here's how I built the variable:
- $quotes = [char]34+[char]34
- ## Then to use it, just build your output string like this:
- $outputString = $quotes + $receivedDateMonth + $quotes + $receivedDateDay + $quotes + $receivedTimeHour + $quotes + $receivedTimeMinute + $quotes
- ## To build a proper comma separated file, assign one double quote to a variable, then assign a double quote,
- ## comma, and another double quote to a variable, then build your output string accordingly.
- $quotes = [char]34
- $comma = [char]34+[char]59+[char]34
- $outputString = $quotes + $receivedDateMonth + $comma + $receivedDateDay + $comma + $receivedTimeHour + $comma + $receivedTimeMinute + $quotes
