This is probably a redundant question and I'm sorry for it.

I have a menu in my game. In itself no problem, but I want one of the options to APPEAR AS, to be DISPLAYED AS :

1. Say "Zut".

How should the option and the answer be coded?

This doesn't work : if (result = "Say \"Zut \"") doesn't work; Quest remains stuck.
I know, I yelled and it is very bad taste; sorry about that. But I wanted to be as clear as possible.
Thanks,
Thierry

This may not be the best solution, but I always used single quotes within a script that required bookend double quotes. Someone with better coding knowledge may have a better answer than that, perhaps using the text processor?

I know it gets stuck if there is a single quote in one of the choices; it may be the same for double quote. Put in this before the if.

msg("Result = " + result)

Does it display the result? If not, could you use smart style quotes instead?

What are "smart style quotes"?

You could do the following:

 if (instr(result,"Say ")>0 and instr(result,"Zut")>0){

Quite true. Thanks, Pertex!

There is also a dictionary variant of the menu, where the dictionary contains id/display text pairs. (You just pass the dictionary instead of the list.) The resulting id comes back. This allows you have sensible ids for your options - even "option1", "option2", etc - that are separate from the text displayed in the menu. Quest uses this feature internally for its object disambiguation menus: the object's alias is shown in the menu, but when you select something, the actual object name is returned.

Not sure if that helps, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks, Jay.
