Escape double quotes in a C# string

Question

I'm trying to escape \ and " in my string like this:

text.Replace("\\", "\\\\").Replace("\"", "\\\"");

But the result for text,

arash "moeen"

turns out as

arash \\\"moeen\\\"

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Just use @ for verbatim literal strings.

text.Replace(@"this", @"that");

Example:

text.Replace(@"\", @"\\").Replace(@"""", @"\""");
