How to do an internet search for text that has the character ["]?

I once overhead a conversation from someone stating that the metric system is awful, citing as an example that if you wanted a piece of wood 12ft (4yd) x 1 1/2in x 2in (a common size) you would have to ask for 3.6576m x 38.1mm x 50.8mm.

Whereas in the American system, the answer to "How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?"
The answer is 'not the same as an imperial gallon' Did you know that Americans only have approx. 6 pints of blood, whereas Britons have approx. 8 pints of blood? (Due to the difference size of their unit of 'pint')

US pints are smaller than Imperial pints - 473ml vs 568ml respectively - so I'd expect that to be the other way round. :)

Don't be so nitpicky... he is just applying the commutative property (wrong or not is another topic) :rolleyes: ;P :laugh: :laugh:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Skip the ". I doubt anyone anyone makes a 7mm x 5mm or a 7' x 5' ziploc bag.

Ah. You aren't a imperial measurements fan than?
Quote:
In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to "How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?" is "Go %^$# yourself" because you can't directly relate any of those quantities.

I am trying my best to find a way to become offended by all that but failing. Perhaps you should start with the cubit. We tried to convert to the metric system some time back but failed, starting with the standard 19" rack.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

The character I'm having a problem with is the double quote. I tried using [\"] but that didn't seem to work. :mad: I'm trying to get a certain size and thickness zip bag (7" wide x 5" deep x 4 mil thick), something I was able to get a few years ago, but now that I've run out of the 25 that I had gotten, I'm looking to get more. :mad::mad:
Technically you're not supposed to use escapes inside []. Many regex engines (like mine) allow it, but you can't count on it. Simply using \" should work. If it doesn't there's something wrong with your regex engine. Try \x34

That metribigotry - you disappoint me. Think, for a moment, about those who read languages such as Chinese. It actually stimulates the brain functions. So it is with us in the US: we've resisted your comparatively-no-brainer system for one that stimulates our intellect and maintains a romance long missing from the dry solemn environment of Europe, and, at the same time, not only maintains more easily divisible subunits (without going to fractions in day-to-day usage) but even, as I've pointed out several times, maintains a base-two relationship as one progress upwards from the ounce. Bah! So far as I'm concerned, you've only done half a BREXIT.
