Is it possible to include a quotation mark as part of an nsstring?

Question

I have a label that displays inches. I would like to display the number with the inch symbol (") or quotation mark. Can I do this with an nsstring? Thanks!

Answer 1

Sure, you just need to escape the quotation mark.

NSString *someString = @"This is a quotation mark: \""; NSLog(@"%@", someString ); 

Output:

This is a quotation mark: " 

Answer 2

You can use Double Quote Escape Sequence here. You need to escape it using a backslash :

NSString *str = @"Hello \"World\"";
NSLog(@"Output : %@",str);

Output : Hello "World"

There are some other Escape Sequences also. Take a look at it :

\b    Backspace
\f    Form Feed
\n    Newline
\t    Horizontal Tab
\v    Vertical Tab
\\    Backslash
\’    Single Quote
\”    Double Quote
\?    Question Mark

Answer 3

As use of back slash \" has already mentioned so I am answering different. You can use ASCII Code too.

ASCII Code of " (double quote) is 34.

 NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%cThis is a quotation mark: %c", 34, 34];
 NSLog(@"%@", str);

And Output is: "This is a quotation mark: "

Swift 4.0 Version

let str = String(format: "%cThis is a quotation mark: %c", 34, 34)
print(str)
