It would be very helpful if you could show how you are writting to the file and what you have tried. :)

Solution 1

Couldn't you simply double up? Something like:

@"""help"""

or

"\"help"\"

Note that you have not stated what the format of the output file or where the data is coming from and in what format that is so I'm guessing.

You may use

strLine = CHR(34) & "Test Data" & CHR(34)

or

strLine = """ & "Test Data" & """

CHR does not exist.
& operator is not defined for strings

Nuts, Its in the Strings Class

Public Function Chr(ByVal CharCode As Integer) As Char
Member of: Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings
