Is it possible to include a quotation mark as part of an nsstring?

I have a label that displays inches. I would like to display the number with the inch symbol (") or quotation mark. Can I do this with an nsstring? Thanks!

Use the following code for Swift 5, Xcode 10.2

let myText = #"This is a quotation mark: ""#
print(myText)

Output:

This is a quotation mark: "

As use of back slash \" has already mentioned so I am answering different. You can use ASCII Code too.

ASCII Code of " (double quote) is 34.

 NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%cThis is a quotation mark: %c", 34, 34];
 NSLog(@"%@", str);

And Output is: "This is a quotation mark: "

Swift 4.0 Version

let str = String(format: "%cThis is a quotation mark: %c", 34, 34)
print(str)

You can use Double Quote Escape Sequence here. You need to escape it using a backslash :

NSString *str = @"Hello \"World\"";
NSLog(@"Output : %@",str);

Output : Hello "World"

There are some other Escape Sequences also. Take a look at it :

\b    Backspace
\f    Form Feed
\n    Newline
\t    Horizontal Tab
\v    Vertical Tab
\\    Backslash
\’    Single Quote
\”    Double Quote
\?    Question Mark

Sure, you just need to escape the quotation mark.

NSString *someString = @"This is a quotation mark: \"";
NSLog(@"%@", someString );

Output:

This is a quotation mark: "

If the string is a literal string, then you can use the escape character to add a quotation mark inside a string.

NSString *string = @"16\"";

Yes, you can include a quotation mark in an NSString literal using the backslash to escape it.

For example, to put the string Quote " Quote in a string literal, you would use this:

@"Quote \" Quote"

A backslash followed by a quotation mark simply inserts the quotation mark into the string.
