I am looking to run the command

foreach-object {$_ -replace

However the string I am attempting to work with could be described as the follow

this string "has" quotes

the whole line being 

foreach-object {$_ -replace "this string "has" quotes", "this string "won't have" quotes"}

How do I make this quote filled line work with powershell?

    You can either escape the nested double quotes like so `" or better yet, use single quotes for quoting of the string then you won’t need to escape the double quotes e.g.:

    'this string "has" quotes'

    Note: with single quotes you won’t get variable expansion in a string.
