I am trying to replace ' with " but to no avail.

I have tried the following:

output = output.Replace(@"'", @""");

output = output.Replace("'", @""");

output = output.Replace(@"'", """);

output = output.Replace(@"'", """");

  • Note that if this is going to be applied to code (e.g. Javascript or Python) then char-per-char replacement will run into problems if the code itself contains escaped quotes or double quotes. To do a proper substitution in that case you need something more sophisticated (for example a regular expression). – 6502 May 03 '20 at 06:36

You could use this piece of code, I have added a \

out = out.Replace("'","\"");

  • Thank you for your suggestion. I tried it and it include the backslash character as well – gymcode May 03 '20 at 06:38
  • Then you're not using the proper characters, look at the fiddle: https://dotnetfiddle.net/1pLasS – jscarle May 03 '20 at 06:42
  • this is so weird, I copied my code in the fiddle and the backslash \ doesn't show up, but it did in my code. hmmm – gymcode May 03 '20 at 06:48
