How Can I Make Winbatch Recognize Quotation Marks as Text?

Question:

I am trying to put strings together and then write them to a file. I then want to import this information into access. In order to import the information I need to have it in this form: "info1","info2","info3",etc. My problem is that I am having problems with the quotation marks. I am getting illegal syntax errors. My line of code looks something like this:

        x=Strcat(""%info1%"",""%info2%"",""%info3%"")

How can I make it recognize the quotation marks as text? I have tried the num2char command but this doesn't work either. WinBatch will recognise all three different kinds of quote marks:

'single quotes'
"double quotes"
`back quotes`

so just use a different kinf to keep WinBatch happy. Like...

x=Strcat(`"%info1%"`,`"%info2%"`,`"%info3%"`)
Message("Try 1",x)

But I think you really want:

        x=Strcat(`"%info1%","%info2%","%info3%"`)
        Message("Try 2",x)

or maybe better yet...

        q=`"` ; a quote
        qcq='","' ; quote comma quote

x=Strcat(q,info1,qcq,info2,qcq,info3,q)
Message("Try 3",x)
