"Double Quote"

Initiates or terminates a string (variables expanded)

Description

Double quote is used to initiate and terminate strict strings where variables can be expanded.

Commands can also be quoted using double quotes (eg where a command might contain a space character in it's name) however variables cannot be used as part of a command name.

Examples

» set: example="World!"

» out: "Hello $example"
Hello World!

Detail

Quotes can also work over multiple lines

» out "foo
» bar"
foo
bar
