I am writing a UI for the realFlow to Maya export and on the file path the plug-in requires double quotes at the beginning and the end of the path.When I try to put it in a string to then concatenate it with the others strings to create the full path required it sees it as a beginning of a double quote character without and end so I get an error message.Does anybody know how to do that so that I can add it to the final string ?

Well, MEL is based on C++ and while I'm not programmer, unless I'm mistaken, in C++ you'd simply prefix the quotations with a slash like \" that way the system knows not to include that as a real quotation, but to print it instead. Perhaps someone who is more of a programmer can correct me if I'm wrong, though.
