Trying to remove "\" from a string

[Robert]

Hello.

I have tried to remove the char "\" from a string that I am building in
codebehind.
to be used in a script tag.

I have tried adding (char)34 to the string instead of the escape character,
as well as @then double quotes.
when i watch the string in the command window or the watch window it has the
escape character in the string allways \"
I have tried to use replace.. but you cant replace a escape character, I
tryed establishing a char variable as (char)92

My question is how the heck can I build a string without an escape character
around the quotes ?

Thanks,
Rob

i did not understand your problem but those sample might help you.

Code ---- You see
Response.Write( \\aa\\bb) --- \aa\bb
Response.Write( "\"aa") ---- "aa

s = s.Replace("\\", "");
double up the escape char.

Probably you don't need to worry:
the watch and debugger windows just *display* the string with escaped
inner quotes and maybe a "@" in front. Try and set a label to display
the value, you should not see the escape characters then, or
find out the length of the string.

So, if the *real* value is
this is a "test"
the watch window might display
@"this is a \"test\""
