Have a current data set that has a column named vendor and it is identified as string.
When Eclipse export the results, it is not surrounding this field in double quotes as it sees only numbers. This leads to Excel dropping the leading zeros.
Is there a way to make sure all string fields get surrounded by double quotes?

Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I've seen online that characters in a string can be accessed using normal indexing (e.g a_string_variable(1:5)) however when I do this I get a 1x0 empty string array or even worst an error.
I've attached a screen shot of my Matlab command window below to show you what I'm doing and the error I am getting.
A string formed with the double quotes " is treated as if the entire string is one element of the variable. Kind of like a cell array. This is a type of classdef OOP object.
A string formed with the single quotes ' is treated as an array of characters, with each character being one element of the variable.
To get the behavior you are apparently wanting, use the single ' quotes.
While inserting a document in mongodb, one of the variables in the object that I am trying to insert contains curly braces '{abc123}' as a part of value.
This is causing the inserts to fail. Any way around it?
The simplest way is to use both double and single quotes: "'abc123'". Double quotes will mark the JavaScript string and single quotes will be handled as literal values, as if it was escaped with backslash.
Is it possible to export data records from filemaker and have all strings be in a "" quote? With string I mean type = text. Numbers shouldn't change though.
There’s no option I'm aware of that provides this behavior when exporting.
The fieldType() function may be helpful.

Or, just create a single calc field "row" with all of the fields you want included - with appending quotes around the text fields - and do a .tab export of "rows" instead. That's generally how I handle it.
If you export as CSV, this is the default behaviour as long as you do not export the "Apply current layout’s data formatting..." setting enabled.
I have the same issue.
To strip the quotes from the .csv, I open the .csv in Excel and save the file in Excel as a .csv.
This strips the double quotes.
I've been working on an Express app that has a form designed to hold lines and quotes.
Some of the lines will have single quotes('), but overall it's able to store the info and I'm able to back it up and store it without any problems. Now, when I want do pg_dump and have the database put into an SQL file, the quotes seem to cause some things to appear a bit wonky in my text editor.
Would I have to create a method to change all the single quotation marks into double, or can I leave it as is and be able to upload it back to the database without causing major issues. I know people will continue to enter in lines that contain either single or double quotations, so I would like to know any solution or answer that would help greatly.
Single quotes in character data types are no problem at all. You just need to escape them properly in string literals.
To write data with INSERT you need to quote all string literals according to SQL syntax rules. There are tools to do that for you ...
Insert text with single quotes in PostgreSQL
However, pg_dump takes care of escaping automatically. The default mode produces text output to be re-imported with COPY (much faster than INSERT), and single quotes have no special meaning there. And in (non-default) csv mode, the default quote character is double-quote (") and configurable. The manual:
QUOTE
Specifies the quoting character to be used when a data value is quoted. The default is double-quote. This must be a single one-byte character. This option is allowed only when using CSV format.
The format is defined by rules for COPY and not by SQL syntax rules.
In my application I am trying to read some data from sqlite database into UITextView.
This text has double quotes as well as single quotes, for ex:
she said : "Katie's purse has been
lost"
when I do this, I get strange characters in place of double and single quotes. Please help me with a solution to scrub these characters off.
Thanks.
If you get one strange character (or set of characters) replacing " and another replacing ', you can just scan the string and replace. If you aren't, then:
That's very strange, and
You should post your code.
