replacing a string that contains a " character

[Milsnips]

Hi there,

i'm trying to do a string replace on something like the following

string MyString = myinput;
myinput = myinput.Replace("src="../content/","http://www.site.com/content/")

but, the "src="../content/" line isnt working, i tried 3 quotes, 4 quotes, 5
quotes, no luck, whats the correct syntax to do this (and replace a string
that contains a quote in it)?

thanks,
Paul

Insert a backslash before the quote:

myinput.Replace("src=\"../content/","http://www.site.com/content/")

[=?Utf-8?B?U2l2YSBN?=]

Shouldn't it be .Replace
("src=\"../content/\","src='http://www.site.com/content/'") ?

\" is the way to escape a " within a normal literal string. For a
verbatim literal, use "".
