wordQuotes

• local property

• The wordQuotes and the defaultWordQuotes local and global properties control the meaning of quoted "word" chunks in a script. Normally, any word that begins with a double quotation mark is treated as a quoted word that extends to the next quotation mark. The wordQuotes property can be used to define a different character or text string (or opening/closing pair of strings) to be used as the quotation marks. Or, set the wordQuotes to "None" to disable quoting of words altogether.

• Examples: +

   set phrase to <<Say "Alas, poor Yorick!" again>>
  put word 2 of phrase —> Alas, poor Yorick!
  set wordQuotes to "None"
  put word 2 of phrase —> "Alas,
