In TF2 scripting, there is a simple command, echo. This simply logs a message to the console. It can be used with or without double quotes. However, I want to be able to log something to the console involving double quotes--say, the string He said, "nope.". In conventional programming, one would escape the quotes, as so:
echo "He said, \"nope.\""
However, in the TF2 console, this writes:
He said, \ nope.\
Is there a way to use quotes in echo and related commands? (E.g. say)
It's not possible to output double quotes using echo or say, only single quotes. (source) (In fact whenever you type double quotes into regular chat they're automatically changed into single quotes. I don't know why this limitation exists, I'd have to dig around.)
