Replace Quote with Escape and Quote

Question

A dumb question, probably, but can't seem to get it to work. I need to Replace the quotes from the text box with \ "so that it exports correctly. I'm trying:

[Note].Text).Replace("\"", "\"") 

Am I doing this completely wrong? I won’t be surprised if I will. Any recommendations on how to do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

 String quotedText = "\"Hello, world!\""; // quotedText = "Hello, World!" String newQuotedText = quotedText.replace("\"", "\\\""); // newQuotedText = \"Hello, World!\" 

You need to avoid the backslash that you want to transfer to the new value.

Answer 2

.Replace("\"", "\\\"")

\\ means the character \ . You should also avoid this, so it can be shown.

Answer 3

You need to avoid the backslash as well as the quote:

 mystring.Replace("\"", "\\\"") 

Answer 4

 Replace("\"", "\\\""); 

You need 3 \ for the replacement string, the first to avoid the second, so that \ appears in the field, and the third to avoid quotes

Answer 5

It works

 string s = "diana\"s here"; string s2=s.Replace ("\"","\\\""); 

Answer 6

Lazy, but I'm pretty sure it works.

 Replace("\"","\\" + "\"");
