escaping double quotes

[John]

And if you run as:

texis build='update' migrationProfileTable_test/main.txt

is it right? The escape is probably happening when you print the output, not when the variable is set.

[gaurav.shetti]

yes. Infact i am printint the o/p of ret (for capture) as well as printing the contents of the variable which was set with $ret.

I mean i tried both, got the same o/p

[mark]

Can you post the smallest complete script that demonstrates the problem?

[John]

If you just say $ret or $var and you are in htmlmode the variable will be printed with HTML escapement, so if the variable contains " it will print as "

Use <fmt %s $var> or the /main.txt entry to print out the variable contents as-is.

[gaurav.shetti]

Yes you are write. I tried printing out the variables using fmt %s . It is indeed not converting " into quot;
