What is the syntax for doing a strFind to find a double quote in a text string? strFind(field,""") does not work as the " is a restricted character.

Text example - They said "Was incorrect", when correct.

I would like to identify the position of the " in the text string.

You can use "\""

For example:
x = strFindI("They said \"Was incorrect\", when correct.","\"")
emit x

Thank you. I also found that I could use the ascii character decimal of (34) in a variable to do the find.

For example:
a = chr(34)
x = strFind("They said \"Was incorrect\", when correct.", a)
