SB can't escape quotes in strings correctly.

Question

In the online version, this line will not compile:
TextWindow.WriteLine("My name is ""Adam"".")
And in SB 1.2, it will compile, but the resulting string will be:

My name is ""Adam"".

not:

My name is "Adam".

And I can't find SB 1.3 to check how it treats this, and I hope it was fixed.
Anyway, I fixed this bug in Small Visual Basic.

Hi @Small Visual Basic

You could use the following code to get My Name is "Adam"

' A new Program!  
DoubleQuotes = Text.GetCharacter(34)  
  
TextWindow.WriteLine("What is your name?")  
name = TextWindow.Read()  
TextWindow.WriteLine("My name is" + DoubleQuotes + "Adam" + DoubleQuotes)  

Preview:

Run:

Found suggestion of Text.GetCharacter(34) from https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2a91d280-7d62-43cb-8b41-4e7bb809ec95/using-double-quotes-in-strings?forum=smallbasic
