I have problem with deserialization of json string, because string is bad format.

For example json object consist string property statusMessage with value “Hello “dog” “.

The correct format should be “Hello \” dog \” ” .

I would like remove double quotes from this property.

Something Like this. “Hello “dog” “. -> “Hello dog “.

Here is it original json string which I work.

"{\"jancl\":{\"idUser\":18438201,\"nick\":\"JANCl\",\"photo\":\"1\",\"sex\":1,\"photoAlbums\":1,\"videoAlbums\":0,\"sefNick\":\"jancl\",\"profilPercent\":75,\"emphasis\":false,\"age\":\"-\",\"isBlocked\":false,\"PHOTO\":{\"normal\":\"http://u.aimg.sk/fotky/1843/82/n_18438201.jpg?v=1\",\"medium\":\"http://u.aimg.sk/fotky/1843/82/m_18438201.jpg?v=1\",\"24x24\":\"http://u.aimg.sk/fotky/1843/82/s_18438201.jpg?v=1\"},\"PLUS\":{\"active\":false,\"activeTo\":\"0000-00-00\"},\"LOCATION\":{\"idRegion\":\"6\",\"regionName\":\"Trenčiansky kraj\",\"idCity\":\"138\",\"cityName\":\"Trenčianske Teplice\"},\"STATUS\":{\"isLoged\":true,\"isChating\":false,\"idChat\":0,\"roomName\":\"\",\"lastLogin\":1294925369},\"PROJECT_STATUS\":{\"photoAlbums\":1,\"photoAlbumsFavs\":0,\"videoAlbums\":0,\"videoAlbumsFavs\":0,\"videoAlbumsExts\":0,\"blogPosts\":0,\"emailNew\":0,\"postaNew\":0,\"clubInvitations\":0,\"dashboardItems\":1},\"STATUS_MESSAGE\":{\"statusMessage\":\"\"Status\"\",\"addTime\":\"1294872330\"},\"isFriend\":false,\"isIamFriend\":false}}"

Problem is here, json string consist this object:

"STATUS_MESSAGE": {"statusMessage":" "some "bad" value"   ", "addTime" :"1294872330"}

Condition of string which I want modified:

  • string start with “statusMessage”:”
  • string can has any *lenght from 0 -N *
  • string end with “, “addTime

So I try write pattern for string which start with “statusMessage”:”, has any lenght and is ended with “, “addTime.

Here is it:

 const string pattern = "  \" statusMessage \" : \"  .*?  \",\"addTime\"  ";

 var regex = new Regex(pattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

//here i would replace " with empty string
 string result = regex.Replace(jsonString, match => ???);

But I think pattern is wrong, also I don’t know how replace double quotes with empty string (remove double quotes).

My goal is :

"statusMessage":" "some "bad" value"

to "statusMessage":" "some bad value"

Thank for advice

    This should do it:

    var str = '"STATUS_MESSAGE": {"statusMessage":" "some "bad" value"   ", "addTime" :"1294872330"}"';
str = str.replace(/("statusMessage"\s*:\s*")(.+?)("\s*,\s*"addTime)/, function(m0,m1,m2,m3) { return m1 + m2.replace(/"/g,'') + m3; });

//now str == "STATUS_MESSAGE": {"statusMessage":" some bad value   ", "addTime" :"1294872330"}"

    Edit: sorry i don’t know why i confused this with a javascript question :s – You are able to do a very similar approach in c# tho i can’t come up with the syntax right now.
