Hi,

You can use the function replace to remove double quotes:

Code: Select all

text= "test\"test";
cleaned_text = replace(text, "\"", "");
or you can use single quotes to make the script more readable since the double quote needs not to be escaped using a backslash:

Code: Select all

text= "test\"test";
cleaned_text = replace(text, '"', '');
replaceAll on the other hand is more sophisticated since the second parameter is a regular expression and not a plain string.

Regards,
Martin
