"string" to 'string' ?

%s = "String to convert";

eval("%s=\'"@%s@"\';"); ???

I like your quotation fail :)

eval("%s=\'""@%s@"\';");

Oddly enough, the last time I checked, ''@%s@'' seemed to work as well. This is totally idiotic, but it did seem to work...
EDIT: Nope, just tested it. Totally does not work.

The best way is probably addTaggedString(%s);, which, despite the name, returns the correct value both if the string's never been tagged before as well as if it has.

How do you use addTaggedString?

%tag = addtaggedstring(%string);

More clear example:

For commandToServer('foo'), use commandToServer(addTaggedString("foo")).
