" is clientside html, not serverside asp vbs

try:


s = "d=""1"""

InStr(text,s)

strFind = "d=" & Chr(34) & "1" & Chr(34)
InStr(text,strFind)

OK, basically the string:

d="1"

needs to have the doublequotes 'doubled' up when placed directly into a
string variable as:

pstrStringToFind = "d=""1"""

So you can now do:

If InStr(pstrSomeString, pstrStringToFind) > 0 Then
'String Found
End If

You can also do:

pstrStringToFind = "d=" & Chr(34) & "1" & Chr(34)

since Chr(34) is in fact a doublequote character.

It's a pity that VBScript doesn't support the use of either ' or " as the
text delimiter (bad choice of comment delimiter really) cos in JavaScript
it's dead easy:

var pstrString = 'd="1"';

A *lot* easier on the eye.

Chris.
