Quotes around an evaluated variable

Posted on by jv123 224
Does anyone know how to put quotes around an evaluated variable? Copilot is giving me a lot of useless bogus formulas that don't work as usual.

example:

set(var, Text(User().FullName))

I want the value of var to have quotes around it:

"John Doe".

    Quotes around an evaluated variable
    HI @jv123
     
    @tareqrosul Answered it perfectly, I simply wanted to add a simple comment to this, but please make sure to Mark @tareqrosul as an Answer
     
    When I do (exactly what @tareqrosul said), what I like to do, is create either a Function, or a Variable that replaces Char(34), so that its a little easier for my brain to remember.
     
     
    Set(_AddQuotes, Char(34)); <== this is an example in a variable alone, in my apps, I will many times create a collection or these so I can remove Quotes or other replacement variables so I have essentially a template Collection of these. Of I will create a function that returns back the double quotes (or other special Char)
     
    Set(a, _AddQuotes & User().FullName & _AddQuotes); <== in my button
     
    Label Output
     
     
    again, please make sure to mark tareqrosul as the answer. If mine helps you can additionally but focus on his
     
    thanks!!
