How do I get stats if character names have quotes AND don't match token names?

On one token Represents Character is "Lord Valentin of House Valois", and Name is "Valentin". This macro works: /w "@{selected|character_name}" Strength is: @{selected|strength} On another token Represents Character is 'Jake "the steak" McBeefy' and Name is "Jake". This causes my macro to fail. Is there a general form that will handle names with spaces, quotes, double quotes, and names that don't match character sheets?

You can extract the character name and process it first, but an easier way that should pretty much always work is to use a type of quote that no one is going to use in their name. You can use backticks (found on the key to the left of the 1 on the top bar on UK keyboards), like this: /w `@{selected|character_name}` Strength is: @{selected|strength} Be aware they are not single quotes '.

Ah! Backticks, that's great, thank you!

I spoke too soon. Backticks give me: "Unable to find a player or character with name: `Jake". I tried «», \', and \" ,but no luck. I tried this as a macro and as a macro-mule character ability. Can one macro handle both Irish O'Brien and Jake "the Steak" McBeefy?

Try using printer's quotes in the name: Jake “the steak” McBeefy
