Brightscript Escape Quotation Marks

How do I escape quotation marks in a string using Brightscript? In particular, I am wanting to do this in a regex. I've tried double quotes and backslashes, but neither seems to do the trick for me. I searched for "escape" in the docs that come with the SDK, but that doesn't yield any useful results.

You can't escape them. You have to concatenate with Chr(34).

Re: Brightscript Escape Quotation Marks

Two double quotes together escape to a single quote.
Example:

Brightscript Debugger> print "some quotes ""around here"" "
some quotes "around here"
