String Concatenation

[Former Member]

Hi Experts:

How can i concatenate single quote ( ' ) with my string .

Ex: votre bon d'achat -

---

> This is my string name as Str.

if i assign this to Str

str = 'votre bon d'achat' .

it throws error ( Incorrect arithmetic or bit expression: Instead of "ACHAT", an operator . because the string contains Single Quote ( ' ) .

Please throw some light on it.

Thanks,

If u want ' after d try this

concatenate 'votre bon d~achat' into str.

or

If u want ' for both sides of string

concatenate '_{votre bon d}achat~' into str.
