Passing in quotes as an argument to a macro

Hi,

I've got a function which takes in a string as an argument. I want to pass in the string '"' -- that is, single quotes.

Problem is NSIS gives me:

Error: unterminated string parsing line at macro:IndexOf:2
Error in macro IndexOf on macroline 2

and my macro is defined as:

!macro IndexOf String SubString StartingIndex Result
Push "${String}"
Push "${SubString}"
Push "${StartingIndex}"
Call IndexOf
Pop "${Result}"
!macroend
!define IndexOf "!insertmacro IndexOf"

So obviously Push "${SubString}" is failing but I have no idea how to fix it. Passing in non-quote characters works fine. I also tried "$\"" as an argument and it fails too.
