Qoutes Trouble INI

I have a 9,896 File install ready to go
Services ready to be installed and etc

but there is only one thing stopping me dead in my tracks
and here it is

FileWrite $9 "; example, if you set output_handler to "mb_output_handler", character"$\r$\n"
or
WriteINIStr $WINDIR\my.ini mysqld datadir ""$INSTDIR\mysql\data""
Inserting a Actual ""
the INI file needs this

I need some way to say
WriteINIStr $WINDIR\my.ini mysqld datadir ""C:\\mysql\data""
to take what ever is in a certin area and tell the frekin
thing to put it there that way regardless of what I put there.

So if i wanted to put in "2#$C%!~" within the ""
or anything like that _> that's what I need Badly

the Qoutes are killing my Project Install
or rather the only thing stopping me from getting what i need done 🙁

P.S. Is there a such thing as
hrmmmm like a um Chr Variable Ascii convertor
say like
take "cow" = #CMO8 and where ever there is a cow in the file
change the cow to #CMO8
and or
Take the
take "cow" = HexOem and where ever there is a cow in the file
this would be cow = 636F77 or visa versa ?
so I can use HEX or CHAR or Binnary or somthing
to represent the special charecters that the Compiler is erroring on ?

Any help is greatly apreciated Thank you in Advance.
"If you read this please tell me what you know that could help"

It's in the docs. If you whant to insert " (double quotes) in a string enclose it with ' ' (single quotes). Try this:
FileWrite $9 '; example, if you set output_handler to "mb_output_handler"$\r$\n'
or
WriteINIStr $WINDIR\my.ini mysqld datadir '"$INSTDIR\mysql\data"'
