I need to use the following string as a "Search String" in an Instr
instruction:
<name part="first">
The quotes around the word "first" are causing the instruction to fail.
How can I test for this Search String?
I have checked Google and tried single quotes and double quotes and chr(34)
around around the word "first" all with no success.
The code I am using is"
SearchString = "<name part="first">"
StringPos = Instr(1, InputDataLine, StringSearch)
If StringPos > 0 then ......
Please help!!

Hello,

You can include " in a literal string by using "" (double the double quote
character). Here it will be :
SearchString = "<name part=""first"">"
> I have checked Google and tried single quotes and double quotes and
> chr(34)
> around around the word "first" all with no success.
If you really tried
SearchString = "<name part=""first"">" then it could be be that you really
don't have this string in "InputDataLine".
For example could it be that you are searching actually for :
<name part="first"/>
Note the trailing /> rather than just >
What if you try with hardcoded values to make sure this is not just that
InputDataLine doesn't contain what you think ?
