Hello

How can I remove double quotes from my string.

For example I have a string "hello".

I want to display it as hello.How can I do it.

Can I do it like this.Or anything else.Suggest me.

str = CreateObject ("roRegex", " " ", " ").ReplaceAll (str , "  ")

It can be done more simply.

Given:

s = chr(34) + "hello" + chr(34)

or equivalently:

s = """hello"""

You can do:

s = s.Replace(chr(34), "")

or equivalently:

s = s.Replace("""", "")

How safe is the second option? Are there any Roku's running firmware less than 6.2, other than classic models?

String Literals
Type String: String in quotes, e.g. "this is a string".
Note: The quotation mark character can be embedded in a string literal using two consecutive quotation marks.
E.g. s="""" : ? len(s), asc(s) outputs 1, 34.
This feature is available in firmware 6.2 or later.

That is a great question!
Given Millions of players in the wild and thousands of circumstances, it won''t be unfair to say that there is at least one functioning player with firmware 5. If we exclude outliers however,
how do we know when "practically all" (say 99.9%) of the players have reached certain firmware level or higher?
Very relevant in light of the rolling fw 7 too.

All supported Roku retail products should be running firmware 6.2 or later. (This excludes legacy models running 3.x firmware).

What's the way to put a numeric value to that statement, RokuKC?

Clearly, if one says 100%, they'd be lying. So you said "should". What % actually are running 6.2+ ?
That information is available in the server log files and - hopefully - also aggregated, so easy to pull. It's customary for make this available to developers, cue Apple, Android, Microsoft.

Unofficially, from the numbers I've seen for Roku retail products, for non-Roku TV platforms there is nearly 99% update to 7.0 firmware.
Roku TV products are mostly on 6.2 still.

Thank you!
Can something meaningful be said about the connected* RokuTV too? E.g. if 99.9% (or 99, 95, 80, 67%...) are on at least 6.2?

(*) RokuTV case is interesting footnote in that one can purchase such TV set and use it as "dumb" for years w/o ever networking/activating/upgrading. But those are of no practical interest to app developers, since "no network" means "no channel installs" too. Hence "% of connected"

On a barely related note, my RokuTV got "infected" with fw 7 on 12/4 :?
