I have this irritating problem with "" symbol in field calculator in QGIS. I'm trying to insert an URL field in order to open feature specific pictures later as an action, but as I insert the symbol in question, it is not recognized. See below. Preview will be the result if I hit OK.





Column's data type is text and layer is UTF8 encoded. I'm using QGIS 3.2.0 on Windows 10.



It's a small issue, but I can't wrap my head around it.

  • @TarasDubrava Your answer seems to be correct. Can you elaborate why double symbol is needed? If there's no duplicate question for this, you could post an answer.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
