i have a variable which stores the whole html content like :-

getcontent ="<table style="height: 1000px; ; width: 500px;" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td>[<span>Assignment(for) name</span>]</td> <td>[<span>Total No of staff-months of the assignment</span>]</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> "

now i want to convert the frst and the end double quote with single quote.

what regex can be used so that the getcontent converts to :-

'<table style="height: 1000px; ; width: 500px;" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td>[<span>Assignment(for) name</span>]</td> <td>[<span>Total No of staff-months of the assignment</span>]</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> '

    Use anchors for the beginning and end of the string:

    getcontent = getcontent.replace(/(^"|"$)/g, "'");

    ^ represents the beginning of the string and $ the end.

    This assumes that you actually have a string that contains a beginning end ending ", not a string that is (syntactically) enclosed in ", in which case your input is not valid, due to unescaped " within the string.
