How to enter quotes in a Java string?

I want to initialize a String in Java, but that string needs to include quotes; for example: "ROM". I tried doing:

String value = " "ROM" ";

but that doesn't work. How can I include "s within a string?

In Java, you can escape quotes with \:

String value = " \"ROM\" ";

In reference to your comment after Ian Henry's answer, I'm not quite 100% sure I understand what you are asking.

If it is about getting double quote marks added into a string, you can concatenate the double quotes into your string, for example:

String theFirst = "Java Programming";
String ROM = "\"" + theFirst + "\"";

Or, if you want to do it with one String variable, it would be:

String ROM = "Java Programming";
ROM = "\"" + ROM + "\"";

Of course, this actually replaces the original ROM, since Java Strings are immutable.

If you are wanting to do something like turn the variable name into a String, you can't do that in Java, AFAIK.

Not sure what language you're using (you didn't specify), but you should be able to "escape" the quotation mark character with a backslash: "\"ROM\""

\ = \\

" = \"

new line = \r\n OR \n\r OR \n (depends on OS) bun usualy \n enough.

taabulator = \t

Just escape the quotes:

String value = "\"ROM\"";

In Java, you can use char value with ":

char quotes ='"';
String strVar=quotes+"ROM"+quotes;

Here is full java example:-

public class QuoteInJava {
public static void main (String args[]) { System.out.println ("If you need to 'quote' in Java"); System.out.println ("you can use single \' or double \" quote"); }
}

Here is Out PUT:-

If you need to 'quote' in Java
you can use single ' or double " quote

Look into this one ... call from anywhere you want.

public String setdoubleQuote(String myText) { String quoteText = ""; if (!myText.isEmpty()) { quoteText = "\"" + myText + "\""; } return quoteText;
}

apply double quotes to non empty dynamic string. Hope this is helpful.

This tiny java method will help you produce standard CSV text of a specific column.

public static String getStandardizedCsv(String columnText){ //contains line feed ? boolean containsLineFeed = false; if(columnText.contains("\n")){ containsLineFeed = true; } boolean containsCommas = false; if(columnText.contains(",")){ containsCommas = true; } boolean containsDoubleQuotes = false; if(columnText.contains("\"")){ containsDoubleQuotes = true; } columnText.replaceAll("\"", "\"\""); if(containsLineFeed || containsCommas || containsDoubleQuotes){ columnText = "\"" + columnText + "\""; } return columnText;
}

suppose ROM is string variable which equals "strval" you can simply do
