Double Quotes Within The Shell Command?
Feb 13, 2012
I'm trying to run batch files code within Visual Basic. I've been told you can do this using the Shell command, however I'm running into trouble with double quotes.As the Shell command syntax is Shell("codecodecode"), I'm not sure what to do when the batch file already contains quotes.
For example, how would I use the code:
copy "file location" "destination"

If I try to display a command line argument that has double quotes around, the double quotes are always stripped off. How can I avoid this?
for example, the argument is "c:xx.txt" and this displays c:xx.txt instead Console.WriteLine((My.Application.CommandLineArgs(4)))

userport = username.Text
How do I Incorporate that into:
Shell("rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /b ""AT-LAB-BWQ"" /if /f %windir%inf
tprint.inf /r
""[URL]"" /m
""HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS"" /z /u")

Is there any way to use selectnode with the attribute having both single and double quotes? If we are having single quote in the attribute we can use like below,
nodeList = root.SelectNodes("//book[contains(title,""'attribute'"")]")
If we are having double quotes we can use,
nodeList = root.SelectNodes("//book[contains(title,'"""attribute"""')]")
how can I use an attribute ['attribute"] having both single and quotes in SelectNodes.

This form works in VB .NET
sendMsg = "<CStatus timestamp=""0"" " & _
"type=""login"" " & _
"cid = """ & cID & """ " & _
"key=""" & loginKey & """ />"
But I can't get it work in C#
sendMsg = "<CStatus timestamp="0"
type="login"
cid="" + cID + ""
key="" + loginKey + "" />";
It does not give the same effect. I want this as an output:
<CStatus timestamp="0" type="login" cid="var_cid" key="var_key"/>;
Is there any stringXml command in C# or another way to use double quotes in string?
Solved it with XmlTextWriter

Suppose I have a text string like this..
<The dog needs to go out "">
In the event the string ends with "">, I would like to isolate it. The end goal is to only write out text that looks like this:
<The dog needs to go out "now">, where a value exists between the quotes.
Here's my code:
If chk = "" Then
I've tried nesting chr(34)'s around it and all kinds of other things. I just cannot seem to interpret the quotes. Basically, I am appending an XML file from a database.
Code:
Private Sub AppendFile(ByVal textFileDirectory As String, ByVal textFileFile As String, ByVal textStringToPass As String)
Debug.WriteLine("textStringToPass: " & textStringToPass)
' If the last two characters of the string are "" then skip
Dim a As Integer = Len(textStringToPass) - 1

My program creates a CSV file, this works fine and each line created is correct except it does not have a double quote at each end. How does one add a double quote to the beginning and end of each record without the program thinking it is a formatting function.[code] Although neither method caused an error, neither did they achieve the desired result. Is there an easy way to do this that works?

label1.text = "<a href='#' onclick="window.open('PageTwo.aspx','',''); return false;">Click here</a>"
Notice the 2 quotes in bold above. I need to add (return false) so the browser won't scroll to the top of the page when the text label (#) is not found.

I'm trying to match on some inconsistently formatted HTML and need to strip out some double quotes.
Current:
<input type="hidden">
The Goal:
<input type=hidden>
This is wrong because I'm not escaping it properly:
s = s.Replace(""","");
This is wrong because there is not blank character character (to my knowledge):
s = s.Replace('"', '');
What is syntax / escape character combination for replacing double quotes with an empty string?

When I do Data Importing (CSV to DataGrid), everything runs normal except one problem.
CASE 1: If the Original CSV Data is: "ABC" It will appear as like ""ABC""
CASE 2: If the Original CSV Data is: O"K" It will appear as like O""K""
It will create extra quotes after importing into the datagrid. Does it related to Split() function?

I tried writing the following TestCase for an NUnit test written in VB.net:
<TestCase("FirstNode", "<node id="FirstNode">")>
Public Sub GetNode_GivenSomeNodeId_ReturnCorrectNode(ByVal nodeId as String,
ByVal expectedXml as String)
[Code]....
The xml-node passed as the second parameter to the testcase is not valid however, as this clearly is not the correct way to escape double quotes. I'm sure I can find a workaround in order to check that the method under test returns the expected XML-node, but I'm curious:
Is there some clever way to pass a string such as this, containing double quotes, as a parameter to an NUnit test?

I am grabbing an HTMLElement from a browser object and then using getElementById to grab the element I want. When the element is grabbed into the HtmlElement object double quotes around attributes like <input type="checkbox" name="test1" /> becomes <input type=checkbox name=test1>.It is removing the double quotes and backslash from the HTML available in the HtmlElement. Is there anyway to get the HTML element from Visual Basic .NET code and keep the true HTML formatting?

I have a VB.net program in which I call the Shell function. I would like to get the text output that is produced from this code in a file. However, this is not the return value of the executed code so I don't really know how to.
This program is a service but has access to the disk no problem as I already log other information. The whole service have multiple thread so I must also make sure that when the file is written it's not already accessed.
