single quote strings.

[flamypow]

what happens to the string exactly when I do unitycontext.send like so:

unityContext.send('GameController', 'GetString', 'a string in single quotes but also have "double" quotes in it'); if I put it in a gui.text = ($"{said string}") it actually prints out correctly but I do not know how to make said string into a workable format for visual studio.

Hi Flamypow, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Could you try to clearify your problem or question?

[flamypow]

you use unityContext.send passing in a string that is in single quotes, going from javascript into c sharp. c sharp use single quote as character only. But it kinda works for some reason, I don't know why it does and I don't know how to work with that string that is in single quote and have double quote in it.

If I'm understanding you correctly, when sending 'Hello "planet" earth' to Unity, the double quotes will be converted into escaped characters like: "Hello \"planet\" earth". This is natively supported by dot net, so when using that string in a GUI or UI element it will just render Hello "planet" earth.

oh cool it escapes for you. Didn't know that, thanks
