Question

I have to replace 2 double-quotes with 1 double-quote.

But I want it to be forward only, so if there are 4 double-quote, I want 2 double-quotes back.

string.replace() will give only 1 double-quote back, since it starts over from 0th index to search for 2 double-quotes again.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Am I missing the point? I ask because the simple

string s = "\"\"Test.\"\"";
string t = s.Replace("\"\"", "\"");
Console.WriteLine("Before: " + s);
Console.WriteLine("After: " + t);

just output

Before: ""Test.""
After: "Test."

and

string u = "\"\"\"\"";
string v = w.Replace("\"\"", "\"");
Console.WriteLine("Before: " + u);
Console.WriteLine("After: " + v);

just output

Before: """"
After: ""

on my console. Please show us what you already have, the output it is producing, and the output as you want it because as I read your question, the above is fulfilling your request.
