I thought notepad removed all formating.

I thought notepad removed all formating.

As did I, but if you copied what I had copied from cj's post, I can see the quotes are still 'smart' quotes, and not normal double quotes.

That’s the problem when responding via smart phone

And here I thought the OP screwed up, only to find that it was the OP, copying @Gasman, copying @CJ_London. The old telephone game.

No it was my fault, apparently, for noticing the square brackets.

choose(num,”1st”,”2nd”,”3rd”,”4th”…..)

This is posted in code tags - still retains the smart quotes.

perhaps should include a warning

 

[CJ_London]

choose(num"1st")

The previous post was copy paste between code tags, this example is typing between code tags.

but once the code window is closed, further edits can only be achieved by copying the code only into a new code window

Edit for missing comma and new choice

choose(num,"1st","2nd")

trying to edit the text directly to add a 3rd choice reintroduces the smart quotes

choose(num,"1st","2nd",”3rd”)

Sometimes it may be that getting your database to manage the data correctly and in a harmonious and logical way is more important and instructive.

That is, If you saw the data presented as 1,2,3 rather than 1st, 2nd, 3rd it might not really matter so much.

However have then dealt with everything, and having a working database, you might then find it easier to return to the presentational aspects, and prettify the user experience,, as you may have picked up stuff like that along the way.
