replace double inverted commas into slash double inverted commas in string

[AviraM]

hi all

I have a var of String type
the string include double inverted commas (") and I need to replace it
into slash double inverted commas (\")

example:
original: "abc"de"
result: "abc\"de"

that problem came because I got the string from the databse and I need
the string to make a query from the databae comparing as is but the
all parse is illegal without change my string

thanks all

If I were better with regex I could probably do this in one step .

public class test8 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = "\"abc\"def \"13s\"";
System.out.println(str);
str = str.replaceAll("\"","\\\\\"");
System.out.println(str);
str = str.replaceAll("^\\\\\"(.*)\\\\\"$","\"$1\"");
System.out.println(str);
}
}

Hi,

You could use Apache Commons StringUtils API to escape the strings
you're getting from the database to java-escaped versions.

Here is the link:
