How to deal with a double quote in a string

Question

Hi I have the following string :

<img src="http://localhost"/DotNetNuke/DNNuke/Portals/0/Me.jpg" originalAttribute="src" alt="" width="160" border="0" height="119" /><br /> 

What I want to do is use vb.net code to get rid of that " marked in red.

I have tried String.Replace("""/", "/")
and  String.Replace("" & Chr(34) & "/", "/")

as well as one horrible attempt using substrings.  It was ugly :)

But so far nothing has worked.

Some posts I have been reading have involved stuff with regular expressions but regular expressions make my head hurt so I would like to avoid them if possible.

Any advise would be appreciate.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi,

I would have expected your first attempt to work.  What did it do that was different from what you expected?

I tried running the following code:

Dim str As String = "<img src=""http://localhost""/DotNetNuke/DNNuke/Portals/0/Me.jpg"" originalAttribute=""src"" alt="""" width=""160"" border=""0"" height=""119"" /><br /> "

Stop

And then evaluated str.Replace("""/","/") in the watch window
It came back as:
"<img src="http://localhost/DotNetNuke/DNNuke/Portals/0/Me.jpg" originalAttribute="src" alt="" width="160" border="0" height="119" /><br /> "

Am I misunderstanding the problem here?

Yes He is right. In vb... to show a single "  you need to put two in its place.

So if you want to show a string like mar"tin

you'd write "mar""tin"
