Summary: How to use string literals in VBScript.

In VBScript, you enclose strings with double quote characters, and you use the ampersand (&) operator to concatenate strings. For example:

 Dim s
 s = "Hello"
 s = "Hello" & " Rhino!"

What if you want to assign “Hello Rhino!” (including the quotes) to the variables? In VBScript, you can use two double quote characters to include a double quote character in the string. For example:

 Dim s
 s = "Hello Rhino!"

Alternatively you can use the Chr(34) construct:

 Dim s
 s = Chr(34) & "Hello Rhino" & Chr(34)

Or, to make your code more readable, you can write a function.

 Function Quote(ByVal s)
   Quote = Null
   If (VarType(s) = vbString) Then
     Quote = Chr(34) & CStr(s) & Chr(34)
   End If
 End Function
 
 '...

 Dim s
 s = Quote("Hello Rhino!")
