How to use escape character in replace function when replacing quotations in VB

Question

Here is my code snippet:

 Public Function convert(ByVal robert As String)
        Try
            robert = Replace(robert, "U", "A")
            robert = Replace(robert, "\"", "A")

I want to actually replace the "quotations" with the A but the program doesn't seem to recognize the fact that I'm using an escape character in VB. Does anyone know why? Thanks!

Robert

EDIT by rlbond86: This is clearly Visual Basic code. I have changed the title and text to reflect that.

Answer 1

In VB (which is what the code sample is in), the escape character is double quotes. So it would be

robert = Replace(robert, """", "A")

Answer 2

Looks like VB, not c++.

See http://www.codingforums.com/archive/index.php/t-20709.html

you want to use:

robert = Replace(robert, chr(34), "A")

or

robert = Replace(robert, """", "A")

using " as escape character
