format string with many many quotation marks [message #54739]

Dear All,

I'm trying to create a format string that looks like this: ( 5("'",
A0, "'", :, ", ") ) <- There are single quotation marks between the
first two double quotations.

I want to get something like this

a = SINDGEN(6)
print, a, FORMAT=val_fmt

to get:
'0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5'

What i currently have for a format string is this:
val_fmt = '( ' + STRTRIM(STRING(cnt), 2) + $
'(' + "'" + ', A0, ' + "'" + ', :, ", ") )'

This one is wrong because it does not contain the double quotation
marks enclosing the single quotation marks. Can someone please
explain to me how I could do it or tips on how to use the BYTE method
to produce a string output like this.

Thanks,
Ryan.
