How to enter quotes in a Java string?

Question

I want to initialize a String in Java, but that string needs to include quotes; for example: \"ROM\". I tried doing:

String value = \" \"ROM\" \         


        

Answer 1

In reference to your comment after Ian Henry's answer, I'm not quite 100% sure I understand what you are asking.

If it is about getting double quote marks added into a string, you can concatenate the double quotes into your string, for example:

String theFirst = "Java Programming";
String ROM = "\"" + theFirst + "\"";

Or, if you want to do it with one String variable, it would be:

String ROM = "Java Programming";
ROM = "\"" + ROM + "\"";

Of course, this actually replaces the original ROM, since Java Strings are immutable.

If you are wanting to do something like turn the variable name into a String, you can't do that in Java, AFAIK.

Answer 2

In Java, you can use char value with ":

char quotes ='"';

String strVar=quotes+"ROM"+quotes;

Answer 3

Here is full java example:-

public class QuoteInJava {     

public static void main (String args[])
    {
            System.out.println ("If you need to 'quote' in Java");
            System.out.println ("you can use single \' or double \" quote");
    }
}

Here is Out PUT:-

If you need to 'quote' in Java
you can use single ' or double " quote

Answer 4

Just escape the quotes:

String value = "\"ROM\"";

Answer 5

This tiny java method will help you produce standard CSV text of a specific column.

public static String getStandardizedCsv(String columnText){

    //contains line feed ?
    boolean containsLineFeed = false;
    if(columnText.contains("\n")){
        containsLineFeed = true;
    }

    boolean containsCommas = false;
    if(columnText.contains(",")){
        containsCommas = true;
    }

    boolean containsDoubleQuotes = false;
    if(columnText.contains("\"")){
        containsDoubleQuotes = true;
    }

    columnText.replaceAll("\"", "\"\"");

    if(containsLineFeed || containsCommas || containsDoubleQuotes){
        columnText = "\"" + columnText + "\"";
    }

    return columnText;
}

\ = \\

" = \"

new line = \r\n OR \n\r OR \n (depends on OS) bun usualy \n enough.
