删除或忽略字符串中的双引号-Powershell

Question

I think I have a simple problem but I can't seem to find the answer.

This is a part of the string I am working with

$text = "INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL AND BOUNDARIES COMMISSION
POLLING STATION: "ABC DEF GHIJKL (001)" 
STREAM:123"

When I try to work with this, I get an error because of the double quotes in $text. I know I can escape the double quotes using a back tick, but the entire string is too big for me to go through it all.

I wonder if there is a simple way to ignore or remove all double (and single, too) quotes except for the first and last.

Answer 1

You can solve this by using here-strings:

$Text = @'
All the symbols I/ can ` hope for
between " the *>$ opening $() and closing ${}
of the symbols
'@

Answer 2

Use this: @' ... '@

Your string would look like this:

$text = @'
"INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL AND BOUNDARIES COMMISSION
POLLING STATION: "ABC DEF GHIJKL (001)" 
STREAM:123"
'@
