[mapserver-users] v5.0.0 - CLASSITEM has double quote in field value

[Mike Saunt]

thanks Alexandre but unfortunately it didn't work

Do you know if there is a way of forcing MapServer to read out the literal
string i.e. sort of like escaping it?  in .NET you can say @stringvariable
and it will ignore quotes inside etc?

Cheers
Mike
