Hi I have a code

---in Results variable- the value is 5800000

(2) s_prop24="s.prop24="

-- in s_prop24 variable- the value is s.prop24=

the final result i want s.prop24="5800000"

Can you please help how can concatenate and add quotes?

hi hielo,

syntax error: unterminated string constant

hielo

there's a missing " at the end of that line. Try:

s_prop24="s.prop24=""" & Results & """"

the result is

s.prop24=""50,800,000""

i want

s.prop24="50,800,000"

Try

s_prop24="s.prop24=chr(34) & Results & chr(34)

solomonacquah was very close...

Try:

s_prop24 = "s.prop24=" & Chr(34) & Results & Chr(34)

Are you sure you are putting 4 sets of double quotes?

its coming up with

s.prop24=""50,800,000""

Mike Tomlinson

WHERE and HOW are you displaying your resulting string?...and are you sure that the value in Results doesn't already have quotes around it?

>>the result is
>>s.prop24=""50,800,000""
You originally said
"---in Results variable- the value is 5800000"

If that is true, then what I posted above (ID:24871542) will give you:
s.prop24="50800000"

See example below:

<script  type="text/vbscript">
Dim Results,s_prop24
 Results=5800000
s_prop24="s.prop24=""" & Results & """"
 
alert(s_prop24)
</script>
 
However, it sounds like Results does NOT equal 5800000. It sounds like 
Results equals "5800000" (with the quotes).
 
If that is the case, then you need to use:
s_prop24="s.prop24=" & Results

EXACTLY...so the QTP Environment is adding the quotes around the value because it is a String variable. The quotes are not there internally and they are only being placed there for display purposes in the test environment.... =)
