Visual Basic - escaping double quotes

[jimday1982]

I'm trying to replace a string of html in a csv file that contains double quotes, and I thought this was right:

txtLine = Replace(txtLine, "<a href=""http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/personal/generalmobile/"" target=""_blank"">www.fcc.gov</a>.", "")

But apparently not because it's not replacing it...am I not escaping the quotes correctly?

That bit of code works just fine for me.

Yeah, I'm totally stumped...I also tried:

txtLine = Replace(txtLine, "<a href=" & Chr(34) & "http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/personal/generalmobile/" & Chr(34) & "target=" & Chr(34) & "_blank" & Chr(34) & ">www.fcc.gov</a>.", "")

but still nothing...

That bit of code works just fine for me.

I don't know about VB, but in PHP if you want to use double quotes inside a text string you have to add an escape character ( \ ) before the double quote. So it would be like this:
a = "<a href=\"http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/personal/generalmobile/\" target=\"_blank\">www.fcc.gov</a>\""

Jim,

I tried the following in VB:

txtline = "Hi Jim <a href=""http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/personal/generalmobile/"" target=""_blank"">www.fcc.gov</a>."

txtline = Replace(txtline, "<a href=""http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/personal/generalmobile/"" target=""_blank"">www.fcc.gov</a>.", "")

Debug.Print txtline

I get "Hi Jim" so the replace works on mine!
Have you tried replacing the quotes with CHR(34) ?
