Hey everyone, I'm thoroughly confused -- I need to add a double quote (")to a string. So I tried:
set gSQLString to gSQLString & "\"" & someData & "\""
which didn't work, so I tried
set gSQLString to gSQLString & (ASCII character 34) & someData & (ASCII character 34)
Both produce an almost-correct string, except when I log it, the quote shows up as \" both times.

What is displayed in the result window can sometimes be deceiving.

set foo to "\""
display dialog foo
foo
