Hi all,

I have a situation here. Let's say I dim some variable to hold a string data before save.

VB

Dim answer As String

Then I ready an input for user to fill. When they click save button, I will hold the data into "answer", let's say the data is an IP "192.168.0.1" but when the data is save, it will be 192.168.0.1 without quote "" right?

I want to save the data into text file. How could I save the data with the quotes? Is it possible. I've tried to save the double quotes into a string but it will save data without quotes.

Help me..

Yes, it's possible. You just have to make the quotes part of the string itself.

Dim myData As String = """192.168.0.1"""

Now the value of the string will be "192.168.0.1", WITH the quotes. If you write that string to a file, it'll include the quotes.
