Topic: concatenating "\"" in my lisp code

[Tramber]

Here is my problem :

I want to write HTML through lisp to built a DWF page.
http://www.dwfit.com/

Code: [Select]

<iframe scrolling="no" width="800" height="600"src="http://dwfit.com/dwf.aspx?dwf=http://dwfit.com/sample/hotel5.dwf">
</iframe> 

is the syntax sample provided by Autodesk.

I was pretty sur that obtaining a " in a string line was esay with the help of \"
But it seems not to work, this is what I get with my use of STRCAT :

Code: [Select]

(strcat
      "<iframe scrolling=\"no\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\"
src=\"http://dwfit.com/dwf.aspx?dwf="
      (getvar"dwgprefix"))
Result =
"<iframe scrolling=\"no\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\"\nsrc=\"http://dwfit.com/dwf.aspx?dwf=T:\\ANNEE 2006\\Kieger-SCH\\"

How is it that my \" doesn't help me to get a single " ?

I'm not a beginner but I feel quite like with that problem. I wonder if anyone could help.

It will show like that on the command line, but if you print it to the command line with a lisp function, it will look the way you want.

Command: (strcat
(_>       "<iframe scrolling=\"no\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\"
("_> src=\"http://dwfit.com/dwf.aspx?dwf="
(_>       (getvar"dwgprefix"))
"<iframe scrolling=\"no\" width=\"800\"
height=\"600\"\nsrc=\"http://dwfit.com/dwf.aspx?dwf=C:\\Documents and
Settings\\a0kcdzz\\My Documents\\"

Command: (prompt
(_> (strcat
((_>       "<iframe scrolling=\"no\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\"
(("_> src=\"http://dwfit.com/dwf.aspx?dwf="
((_>       (getvar"dwgprefix"))
(_> )
<iframe scrolling="no" width="800" height="600"
src="http://dwfit.com/dwf.aspx?dwf=C:\Documents and Settings\a0kcdzz\My
Documents\nil

Oh my god, it is true that I didn't try with a WRITE-LINE, I've just looked at the console !

Thanks. Gonna check if it works soon.

You're welcome.  I like the simple to figure out ones.
