Sure, but you need to escape the double quotes. The easiest way is actually to read it in, like (sorry about the line breakage...) > x <- readLines(n=1) <question><span style="color: #0000FF; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14pt"> > x [1] "<question><span style=\"color: #0000FF; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14pt\">" but you could also assign directly > y <- "<question><span style=\"color: #0000FF; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14pt\">" > x == y [1] TRUE (Notice that the backslashes are not actually part of the string, it is just that internal quotes are _displayed_ as \", and entered in the same way.
