In reply to Alok_Mandal:

You need to put a backslash \ character before the double-quote ". There is no need to do this for a single-quote.

string str="\"OFF\"";
string str="'10ns'";

See section 5.9.1 Special characters in strings in the IEEE 1800-2017 LRM.

In reply to Alok_Mandal:

You need to use backslash before double quotes two times to print ““OFF””.

module tb;
string str=“""OFF""”;

initial begin
$display(“str = %s”,str);
end
endmodule
