Im trying to get a visual basic program that will write text like:

<strong>Tube: </strong>Bayswater</p>

Ive used " " on each side but I think its having issues with the characters.

Could you give us some more information, like the code you have now, and why it's not working or any error messages you get.

Also, is this VB, or VB.Net?

Ive managed to solve this, but now im getting problems with:

mystr = mystr & "<a href="http://www.ncp.co.uk/find-a-car-park.htm?t=link&q=""

I think due to the the "" inside "".

You need to escape the single quotes inside the string by making them double, eg:

Code:

mystr = mystr & "<a href=""http://www.ncp.co.uk/find-a-car-park.htm?t=link&q="""

Or if you're working in VB.Net you can also escape with backslash, eg:

Code:

mystr = mystr & "<a href=\"http://www.ncp.co.uk/find-a-car-park.htm?t=link&q=\""
