" (string)

Syntax

    "

Description

String constant; when used before and after a string, quotation marks indicate that the string is a literal—not a variable, numerical value, or Lingo element. Quotation marks must always surround literal names of cast members, casts, windows, and external files.

Example

This statement uses quotation marks to indicate that the string "San Francisco" is a literal string, the name of a cast member:

    put member("San Francisco").loaded
