What do you mean "really", Emmanuel? Of course that works, too, but it has
unnecessary closing and opening quotes where none is needed. Or what was
wrong with my:
"Ok to save? \"" & newName etc.
I usually prefer to keep things simpler, where possible. you, too, no? I
mean, this works too:
"Ok to save? " & "" & "" & "\"" & newName etc.
but why do it?
I guess your way points out the precise correction from
& """
to
& "\""
which is useful. So maybe that's why you're stressing it?
I think it's possible that Robert may not have understood the meaning of the
term "escape" when we all refer to \ as "escaping" the quote, since he keeps
on referring to the "escape KEY", which has nothing to do with it. He might
have been pressing the esc key on the keyboard hoping that would help. Is
that so, Robert?
