Is there any possible way that you can STEP BACK from your own posting for just a few seconds and read it outside of the context of whatever is going on inside your head? We're not mind readers. Do we have any idea whatsoever what you're asking?

I can't figure out how to add ""?

..add to WHAT? Inside a PATH statement? Inside your code?

IF you mean inside of code, you "escape" them using a BACKSLASH character as follows:

JAVA Code:

   System.out.println("\"Hello World\"");

Please try to understand that we have to read whatever it is that you've written and figure out what you want from that and our own personal sets of experiences. Don't make us play detectives. The more you help us, the more we can help you. A clear and complete presentation of the problem INCLUDING any code or snippet that illustrates what DOES NOT work for you, will be helpful.

As with anything related to programming, there are typically many different ways to accomplish the same objective. There are usually pros and cons to each particular way, so some ways don't make any "good sense," even though they exist. Here's an example:

JAVA Code:

public final class Hello {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("\"Hello World\"");
    System.out.println('"' + "Hello World" + '"');
    System.out.println((char)0x22 + "Hello World" + (char)0x22);
  }
}

Output:

Code:

bash-3.2$ java Hello
"Hello World"
"Hello World"
"Hello World"
