Question

Dumb question probably, but can’t seem to get it to work. I need to Replace quotes from a textbox with \” so it will export to excel correctly. I’m trying:

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

Am I doing it completely wrong? Wouldn’t surprise me if I am. 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 escape the backslash you want transferred to the new value as well.
