Hi,
I have a small issue regarding quotation marks:
I want to remove all quote marks from my dataset, seems it doesnt work
with the substring command.
For example, "replace variable = subinstr( variable, """, " ",.)"
(that is triple quotation marks) doesnt work, (rightly) saying "too few quotes"
or: "replace variable = subinstr (variable, """", " ", .)" works -
unfortunately removing everything within quotation marks.
Hmmmm, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Miyu
