LOTUSSCRIPT LANGUAGE


Literal string construction rules
A literal string in LotusScript is a string of any characters enclosed in one of the following sets of delimiters:
Strings enclosed in vertical bars or braces can span multiple lines.

|A string
  on two lines|

To include one of the closing delimiter characters ", |, or } as text within a string delimited by that character, double it.

|A bar string with a bar || in it|

The empty string has no characters at all; it is represented by "".

Strings delimited by vertical bars, braces, or double quotation marks cannot be nested.

"A quoted string with {braces} and a bar | in it"
"A quoted string with ""quotes"" in it"
|A bar string with a bar || in it|
{A brace string with {braces}} in it}
