Hello,

I'm using Eviews 7.1 Dec 29 2010 build. When a text.append "somestring" has a comment 'somecomment on the same line, quotes will be added to the text. When there is no comment on the line, there are no quotes added. I believe this to be a bug as comments should not affect program functionality.

Here is a program to reproduce (run in an open workbook):

Code: Select all


text t1
text t2

t1.append "Hello, world"
t2.append "Hello, world" 'comment

First line of t1 is : Hello, world
First line of t2 is : "Hello, world"

Thanks!

Also note the functionality in a similar program:

Code: Select all


text t1
text t2

t1.append "Hello, ""world"
t2.append "Hello, ""world" 'comment

t1 first line: Hello, "world
t2 first line: "Hello, ""world"

So it doesn't seem to just leave in quotes at the ends of the string.
