Has anyone out there come up with a solution to this:

When examining character strings in MPE, how do people get around the
potential extra quote problem, for example:

ADDR = "L'ESPRIT "TEST" VACANCES"
SETVAR TEST,STR("!ADDR",11,6)

SETVAR TEST,STR("L'ESPRIT "TEST" VACANCES ",11,6)
                           ^
A string operator was expected but none was found. (CIERR 9755)

or in other cases you will get an unmatched quote mark.

I've written a simple routine in Qedit to remove all quotes, but is there
another way, using just MPE commands, without using a text editor.
