how to remove " character from string in c#?

[Milsnips]

Hi there,

i've tried the following:

string s = myString.Replace(""","");... but the compiler just doesnt like
it.
So, if there is a " in the string of text, i'd like to remove it.

any help appreciated.
thanks,
Paul

string s = myString.Replace("\"","");

If you are using C# the following is what you would need to do:

string s = myString.Replace("\"","");

It requires an escape to recognize the quote.

Cheers!

The other way to escape characters is the @ symbol.

For example from http://www.softsteel.co.uk/tutorials/cSharp/lesson4.html

The second approach is to use 'verbatim string'
literals. These are defined by enclosing the required
string in the characters @" and ". To illustrate this,
to set the variable 'path' to the following value:

C:\My Documents\

we could either escape the back-slash characters

string path = "C:\\My Documents\\"

or use a verbatim string thus:

string path = @"C:\MyDocuments\"

Good luck,

JDK

While the @ works often apparently the double qoutes is not a character that can be escaped that way. Apparently they call it a verbatim string.

I have no idea why you are responding to a message three YEARS old.

But, given that you are, you may be interested to know:

• Use of the @ isn't "escaping"; it's simply "verbatim", as you've heard
• If you want a double-quote character in a verbatim character, you
simply double it: @"She said ""Hello world!"" to the world"
