putting a string containing quotation marks into a variable

Here is what I am trying to do. I need to have my user create an html link by entering the url and the clickable text. This is what I have been trying

Code: Select all

 put "<a href="" & tHtmlLink & "">" & tTextToClick & "</a>" into tNewTag

It does not work, I assume, because of the quotation marks in the string

How can I do it?

try

put "<a href=" & quote & tHtmlLink & quote & ">" & tTextToClick & "</a>" into tNewTag

I think you can also escape quotations with the backslash (but I use the code above and I don't have Rev installed here).
