C# Putting a quotation mark within quotation marks?

Question

I'm using String.Replace to replace certain characters. How do I replace the " sign with a different sign of my choice?

artikelBezeichnung = artikelBezeichnung.Replace(""", "!");

That doesn't seem to work

@M.kazemAkhgary take a look at [this one then](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/948135/how-can-i-write-a-switch-statement-in-ruby) :) — Thomas Ayoub, Oct 09 '15 at 08:27
It's useful to know how to escape things, but you don't really need to here. You want a char by char substitution (i.e. replace `'"'` with `'!'`). — Asad Saeeduddin, Oct 09 '15 at 08:29

Either:

artikelBezeichnung = artikelBezeichnung.Replace("\"", "!");

Or:

artikelBezeichnung = artikelBezeichnung.Replace(@"""", "!");

Did you meant `Replace(@""", "!");` ? – Thomas Ayoub Oct 09 '15 at 08:23
@Thomas no, on verbatim strings, quotations marks are inserted doubling them, so `@""""` – Jcl Oct 09 '15 at 08:23
Thanks to everyone unfortunately google doesn't search for special symbols like the " – AzulShiva Oct 09 '15 at 08:24

Escaping isn't really necessary, since String.Replace has an overload that accepts a char:

artikelBezeichnung = artikelBezeichnung.Replace('"', '!');

You have to add a backslash.

artikelBezeichnung = artikelBezeichnung.Replace("\"", "!");

or adding the @ symbol

artikelBezeichnung = artikelBezeichnung.Replace(@"""", "!");

The quote is an special char in C#. You need use it as an string literal, You need to scape it:

Using slash:

artikelBezeichnung = artikelBezeichnung.Replace("\"", "!");

Or using @:

artikelBezeichnung = artikelBezeichnung.Replace(@"""", "!");

string stringContainingContent = "fsdfsfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsf\"sdfsdfsdffsd";
            string test = "\"";
            string test1 = stringContainingContent.Replace(test, "!");

You can replace using Skip Sequence.
