How to scan quoted string

[rfolea]

I hate asking stupid questions, but I am stuck ...

Given a string with a quoted substring - how do I extract the quoted substring?

For ex: balh blah blah blah "quoted text" blah blah blah ...

I want to pull everything out between the quotes and I know the index of the fist Quote (or possibly the space before it).

I thought I could simply use Scan String For Tokens with a Double Quote as a delimeter, but that doesn't seem to work.

Is there a special way to enter the " as a character/delimeter?

Any ideas?

Is this supposed to happen more than once? If not, it would be easier to just use the Match Pattern function:



Otherwise you can use the Scan String From Tokens function this way:

Thanks!

I thought that is what I did, I'll have to compare ...

Ok, I entered your example and am still getting the same issue.

I get a "-1" for the token index after the first pass through the Scan For Tokens VI.

Can you take a look at the attached and tell me what I am doing wrong?

I'm missing something simple ..
