Stripping Quotation Marks from an .str File

1. Place the tilde (~) in your LOC_* definition between the LOC_* token name and the string that the LOC_* token represents.

   For example:

   //Common.str
   #define LOC_LCID ~"409"
   

2. Use the LOC_* token as you would normally.

   For example:

   //Common.reg
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
     "DefaultLCID" = dword:LOC_LCID
   

3. Run Makeimg.exe.

During the build process, Platform Builder strips the quotation marks from the LOC_* token.

The following code example shows how the Common.reg file appears after integration with the Common.str file.

"DefaultLCID" = dword:409
