 Please note that in the VO dialect a string can also be delimited with the quotation mark '' ' ''. Please note that in the VO dialect a string can also be delimited with the quotation mark '' ' ''.

 If you need to specify special characters or single quotation marks in a string, you need an ''escaped'' string, prefixed with ''e'': If you need to specify special characters or single quotation marks in a string, you need an ''escaped'' string, prefixed with ''e'':

 There are also interpolated strings that can contain variables: There are also interpolated strings that can contain variables:
-<code>local cValue := "guys" as string+<code visualfoxpro>local cValue := "guys" as string
 Console.WriteLine( i"Hi {cValue}" ) // Hi guys</code> Console.WriteLine( i"Hi {cValue}" ) // Hi guys</code>
  
 Since in the VO dialect a string can also be defined with single quotation marks, there is no possibility for the compiler to see a difference between a single character string and a char. Therefore you should prefix a char literal with a ''c'' like this: Since in the VO dialect a string can also be defined with single quotation marks, there is no possibility for the compiler to see a difference between a single character string and a char. Therefore you should prefix a char literal with a ''c'' like this:
