Most languages honour the convention that variables are not expanded within single quotes. I always use single quotes unless expansion is a requirement or the string itself contains single quotes; it signals to the interpreter/compiler that it need not inspect the string contents for expansion and saves a few cpu cycles. It signals the same to the alert human reader who may be debugging the code. I consider that more valuable than consistency for consistency's sake. -- Bruce I must admit that the existence of Disneyland (which I know is real) proves that we are not living in Judea in AD 50. -- Philip K.
