I use this as a way of constructing strings that contain quotes:
function qInString pStr, pAltChar
-- use for creating strings that contain quotes
-- eg, for constructing ask/answer dialogs, error messages, etc.
-- default is to use "^" as quote placeholder, can be overridden
-- eg,
-- qInString("fld ^text^ of card ^apple^ of stack ^fruits^")
-- returns:
-- fld "text" of card "apple" of stack "fruits"
-- shorter, and easier to proofread than
-- put "fld" && quote & "text" & quote && "of card" && quote & "apple" \
-- & quote && "of stack" && quote & "fruits" & quote into tStr
-- from a handler on the Use-LC list
if pAltChar = empty then put "^" into pAltChar
replace pAltChar with quote in pStr
return pStr
end qInString
