c# - How do I replace a backslash-double quote with just a double quote?

Question

I have struggled with a simple replace. And need a good solution. Background: It is a xml string encoded with " and these need to be " to be able to deserialize it with serializer.Deserialize.

I want to replace backslash doublequot with one double quot a string like " "hello" " so the string are " "hello" ". The text is long so it is not possible to remove backslash. Thanks for advise. I think it should have been

string s= "" teetete "";
string t;
t = s.Replace(""", @"""");

Your sample string doesn't contain any backslashes, you are just using it to mask the double quotes. This contains one backslash at the beginning and one at the end:

string s = "" teetete "";

If you want to replace it with a single double quote:

string t = s.Replace(""", """);

You have to look click at the loupe in the debugger to see the real value of a string:
