I’m trying to escape quotes in an xpath string like so:

var mktCapNode = htmlDoc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//*[@id=""yfs_j10_a""]");

The actual string I want passed is:

//*[@id="yfs_j10_a"]

This gives a compiler errors: ) expected and ; expected

I’m sure it’s simple but I’m stumped. Any ideas?

Or use the escape char ‘\’:

"//*[@id=\"yfs_j10_a\"]"
