passing a double-quote to a console command in a source engine game

[mmavipc]

I have a console command in code that needs a double-quote(") passed to it to operate correctly. I can do it in code, or in the console itself, but I have no idea how.

right now I have some code set up to replace any <quote> s passed to the command into "s but writing <quote> many times is a big pain in the ass

You could try The following:
\"

EG

echo "Hello, my name is \"Sam\""

Or use '

escaping doesn't work in console, I've already tried it. and the function I'm using needs a " and using a ' will error it.

bind g "give item_ammo_ar2"
Quotes like that?

Sort of, but instead of making a string with multiple spaces into one arg I want them to be passed as a arg

You could exec a config file with a line in it, or use an alias or something.

Be more specific about the command.

the command runs a SQLite query

for example

SQLiteQuery INSERT INTO <quote>main<quote>.<quote>test<quote> (user) VALUES ('MMavipc')

The code replaces <quote> with a ", but I would like to avoid that

Well that's beyond anything I've ever scripted, but I think you could do

alias main "stuff in quotes here"

I don't know anything about SQL though so I'm probably wrong. I thought it was going to be something easy.

Lets try it with a different command then, lets say you do

say "

what do you say? nothing. Is there a way to make it so that makes you say " in chat?

Ran a quick test,
say """
works for that example.

More quotes than that on one line though, I'm not sure.

try it with the echo command

[stinkeee]

Can't seem to do that. I'm lost.

I assume it's a sourcemod thing. Did you post in the plugin thread?

It's not a sourcemod thing, it's an entirely new mod.
