FB_QUOTE
- Source: https://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=KeyPgDdfbquote
- Last revised: 2021-10-11
Intrinsic define (macro) performed by the compiler.
Syntax
` FB_QUOTE( arg )
`
Parameters
arg
argument
Description
Converts the argument to a string, similar to stringize operator (#) but can be used anywhere (will expand the argument before conversion).
More precisely, __FB_QUOTE__ returns an over-quoted text (prefixed with the Operator $ (Non-Escaped String Literal)) compared to the one passed through the argument (the argument may already be a string, and so the return will be an over-quoted string in this case).
Examples
start GeSHi
vb
#macro m( arg )
Scope
Dim s1 As String = #arg
Print s1
Dim s2 As String = __FB_QUOTE__( arg )
Print s2
End Scope
#endmacro
m(Hello)
Print
m("Hello")
Sleep
/' Output:
Hello
Hello
"Hello"
"Hello"
'/end GeSHi
start GeSHi
vb
#macro m( arg1, arg2 )
Scope
'Dim s0 As String = #arg1##arg2 ' does not work because arg1##arg2 is not developped before applying #
Dim s1 As String = #arg1###arg2 ' workaround because #arg => $"arg" and not only "arg"
' (otherwise the result would be "arg1""arg2" => "arg1"arg2")
Print s1
Dim s2 As String = __FB_QUOTE__( arg1##arg2 )
Print s2
End Scope
#endmacro
m(Free, BASIC)
Sleep
/' Output:
FreeBASIC
FreeBASIC
'/end GeSHi
