Question

I have an NSString and want to save it in CSV format. Because of this, I am replacing all " with "". I tried the following code but the compiler reports an error for it.

newString = [oldstring stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@""" withString:@""""];

where oldstring is 11th ave, "L&T", Khar. oldstring is set from user input.

How can I end up with newString set to 11th ave, ""L&T"", Khar?

Any help will be appreciated.

You need to escape double quotes (") inside your string:

newString =  [oldString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\"" withString:@"\"\""];
