How print " in output?

**Purple01** · November 26th, 2012, 08:43 AM

Does anyone know how to print the "in an output line?
Like I want my output link to be: name = "Purple"

Use an escape character. Like this:

"\"Purple\""

Thanks for that.

Then the next question, how do I print a value behind it.
Like:

String Chr = Y;
 
"\"Purple" + Chr"\"

"\"Purple" + Chr"\" --> doesn't work.
I would like as output "PurpleY"

What's Y?
What chr? Because Chr != chr.

I will mind the capital letter next time yes.

Chr and chr are the same, I will adjust that in my post.

You still didn't answer my other question. What is Y?

That is a letter I pulled out of an arrayList.

for (int x = 0; x < arrayList_Chrom.size(); x++) {
			String Chr = arrayList_Chrom.get(x);
}

You have to remember that "\"" is a String, so you do String concatenation exactly like you do with any other String. For example, consider this:

String chr = "Y";
"Purple" + chr + "."
//PurpleY.

Also consider using a StringBuilder instead of String concatenation.

Thanks for letting me know that.

I also noticed that by splitting .. you also need those \\ things before it.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but yeah, anytime you have a quotation mark inside a String, you need to escape it. Doesn't matter if the String is split up into multiple String primitives or not.

Unless you're talking about the String.split() function, which takes a regular expression String, so you have to escape the escape sequence...
