Not 100 percent sure what you are asking

BUT here is some code from one of my blog posts that writes iProperties and text to be copied to the clipboard (full code in link)

hopefully this points you in the right direction.

Dim oClipboard As String = "Unofficial Inventor  : " & _ 
ClintBrown3D & vbLf & vbLf & "  >>> Material = " & oMaterial & vbLf & _ 
"  >>> Mass = " & oMass & " kg" & vbLf & _ 
"  >>> Volume = " & oVolume & " mm^3" & vbLf & "  >>> Surface Area = " & oSurfaceArea & " mm^3"
Clipboard.SetText(oClipboard)

what I ask is how to i make this in to an string

<?xml version="1.0"?>

The problem is that inventor/ilogic sees " as an start og end of string/text but what I need is it to be a part of the text. 

that part of the text is somthing that will be standard .. and not copy form the inventor files. so I might not be able to use that you givning me

Understood! I've had this problem before, and I have used either text parameters or iProperties.

msgbox(iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject"))

 

If you do use text parameters, you can copy them in and out via XML https://clintbrown.co.uk/2020/01/25/using-xml-to-drive-ilogic-configurations/

Hope this helps

Hi @Darkforce_the_ilogic_guy 

Use Doubble citation:

Dim oString As String = "<?xml version=""1.0""?>"
MsgBox(oString)
