A bit difficult to answer without seeing what code snippets you are referring to. Or what programming language you are using. Or any details at all.

Sorry for not getting to this question, however being human. The command would look something like this. However where the double qoutes are, they would look like inverted commas “ ” . The below command works, but if the double qoutes are replaced with these “ ” the command would fail. REG ADD ''HKLM\path\to\registry\key'' /v RegistryValue /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "abc\0\0def\0"

✔ Best Answer

The inverted commas that you show are not valid characters in a C source file (or most other languages). You have to use the double-quotes character " (shifted 2 on my keyboard).

Simple answer: The angled double quotes (“ ”) are not considered real double quotes. You have to type them in because whoever wrote the document you're copy/pasting from has the smart quotes feature enabled in Word. How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
