quotes

For example: "I don't like these "double" quotes" and I want the output to be I don't like these double quotes cletus Use String#replace() . To replace them with spaces (as per your question title): System.out.println("I don't like these \"double\" quotes".replace("\"", " ")); The above can also be done with characters: System.out.println("I don't like these \"double\" quotes".replace('"', ' ')); To remove them (as per your example): System.out.println("I don't like these \"double\" quotes".replace("\"", "")); You don't need regex for this. Just a character-by-character replace is sufficient.

I know there are already many questions like mine but I found no answer which works in Java. So I write a new question. I have text files with content like this: key1 = "This is a \"test\" text with escapes using '\\' characters"; key2 = 'It must work with \'single\' quotes and "double" quotes'; I need a regular expression which matches the values in the double-quotes (or single-quotes). This regular expression must support the escaped quotes and escaped backslashes. The regular expression must work with Java standard Pattern/Matcher classes. Try this regular expression: '([^\\']+|\\([btnfr"'\

As a base SAS programmer, you know the drill: You submit your SAS code, which contains an unbalanced quote, so now you've got not only and unclosed quote, but also unclosed comments, macro function definitions, and a missing run; or quit; statement. What's your best trick for not having those unbalanced quotes bother you? enterprise guide 3 used to put the following line at the top of its automatically generated code: *';*";*/;run; however, the only way to really "reset" from all kinds of something unbalanced problems is to quit the sas session, and balance whatever is unbalanced before re

I am trying to write a regex in Java to find the content between single quotes. Can one please help me with this? I tried the following but it doesn't work in some cases: Pattern p = Pattern.compile("'([^']*)'"); Test Case: 'Tumblr' is an amazing app Expected output: Tumblr Test Case: Tumblr is an amazing 'app' Expected output: app Test Case: Tumblr is an 'amazing' app Expected output: amazing Test Case: Tumblr is 'awesome' and 'amazing' Expected output: awesome, amazing Test Case: Tumblr's users' are disappointed Expected output: NONE Test Case: Tumblr's 'acquisition' complete but users'

How do I convert the MS Word quotes and apostrophes to regular quotes and apostrophes characters in Java? What's the unicode number for these characters? “how are you doing?” ‘howdy’ Since Stack Overflow autofixes them, here's how they appear in an editor to "how are you doing?" 'howdy' Going off Thomas's answer, the code is: return text.replaceAll("[\\u2018\\u2019]", "'") .replaceAll("[\\u201C\\u201D]", "\""); Thomas Here's a very useful link for everyone dealing with Unicode: Unicode codepoint lookup/search tool . Searching for "quotation mark" gives ‘ (U+2018) LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK ’

I have an application which uses a Javascript-based rules engine. I need a way to convert regular straight quotes into curly (or smart) quotes. It’d be easy to just do a string.replace for ["] , only this will only insert one case of the curly quote. The best way I could think of was to replace the first occurrence of a quote with a left curly quote and every other one following with a left, and the rest right curly. Is there a way to accomplish this using Javascript? You could replace all that preceed a word character with the left quote, and all that follow a word character with a right

According to the docs , the builtin string encoding string_escape : Produce[s] a string that is suitable as string literal in Python source code ...while the unicode_escape : Produce[s] a string that is suitable as Unicode literal in Python source code So, they should have roughly the same behaviour. BUT, they appear to treat single quotes differently: >>> print """before '" \0 after""".encode('string-escape') before \'" \x00 after >>> print """before '" \0 after""".encode('unicode-escape') before '" \x00 after The string_escape escapes the single quote while the Unicode one does not. Is it
