Quoting strings in C++ -
in pascal lazarus/delphi, have function quotedstr() wraps string within single quotes. here's example of current c++ code: //i need quote tblcustomers pqxx::result r = txn.exec( "select * \"tblcustomers\" "); another one: //i need quote ccustomername std::cout << "name: " << r[a]["\"ccustomername\""]; similar above, have double-quote strings. typing in kind of slowing me down. there standard function can use this? btw, develop using ubuntu/windows code::blocks. technique used must compatible across both platforms. if there's no function, means must write one. string str = "tblcustomers"; str = "'" + str + "'"; see more options here
