How do I retain quotation marks around a file path when using it in another string?

I have a script where one of the outputs is multiple csv files of data, however the command to store the data requires the file path to be in quotes.
localStorage = 'D:\myFilepath'
localCSV = fullfile(localStorage, 'myFile.csv');
sprintf(":MMEM:STOR:TRAC:DATA TRACE1, %s", localCSV);
gives me
":MMEM:STOR:TRAC:DATA TRACE1, D:\myFilepath\myFile.csv"
when I want ":MMEM:STOR:TRAC:DATA TRACE1, "D:\myFilepath\myFile.csv""
I tried including an extra set of quotes on the filepath localStorage but I end up with "D:\myFilepath"\"myFile.csv"

 Accepted Answer

localStorage = 'D:\myFilepath'
localCSV = fullfile(localStorage, 'myFile.csv');
sprintf(":MMEM:STOR:TRAC:DATA TRACE1, ""%s""", localCSV);
