在带引号powershell的字符串上使用replace运算符

Question

I am looking to run the command

foreach-object {$_ -replace

However the string I am attempting to work with could be described as the follow

this string "has" quotes

the whole line being

foreach-object {$_ -replace "this string "has" quotes", "this string "won't have" quotes"}

How do I make this quote filled line work with powershell?

Answer 1

You can either escape the nested double quotes like so `" or better yet, use single quotes for quoting of the string then you won't need to escape the double quotes eg:

'this string "has" quotes'

Note: with single quotes you won't get variable expansion in a string.

Answer 2

Did you try doubling up you quotation marks as an escape character for quotes? ie

$a = "This String ""Has"" Quotes"
$a = $a.replace("This String ""Has"" Quotes","this string ""won't have"" quotes. ")

Answer 3

You can Grave (the tilde key) double quotation marks as an escape character. You can do this to any special character in a string.

eg

$a = "This String `"Has`" Quotes"
$a = $a.replace("This String `"Has`" Quotes","this string won't have quotes. ")
