put an extra double quote. It should read

swDetail.WriteLine(""1"", " & strId & ",..... )

Hi,

I have to write to a textfile text that has to look like this in the end: 
"1","7912310023098","A","Burger","12345"     (double quotes incl.)

I am using FileStream called fsDetail and Streamwriter called swDetail. 

The code: 
Dim fsDetail As FileStream 
Dim swDetail As StreamWriter 

fsDetail = New FileStream("PowernetBankrun.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate) 
swDetail = New StreamWriter(fsDetail) 

swDetail.WriteLine("1", " & strId & ",..... ) '******Problem comes in here 

How do i get the streamwriter to write the double quotes to the file? 
Anyone know of any escape characters for vb.net? I know in c# it is \.

Thanks, 
Thea
