Thanks for your reply. Needless to say, I asked this
question because I am working with a customer's AMI
DLL, and it doesn't like the double quotes around a
string parameter we are passing into it. They claimed
that it worked in your tool, and I wanted be sure that
we interpreted the spec as it was intended... Your
reply answered both of my questions.
Thanks,
Arpad

Arpad-
To me, the word "are" implies that double quotes are required; and
double quotes-always is clearly a safe bet. I will admit that SiSoft's
implementation is more permissive than that.
In retrospect, perhaps we should have said
String literal values can be delimited using double quotes ("), and must
be delimited in that way if the string contains white space. No double
quotes are allowed inside a string literal.
Should'a would'a could'a.
