Hi,
We are working on a OS project where we consuming external .Net WebAPIs. As a part of implementation, we had requirement to fetch HTML using Web-APIs and show on UI screen.
Under fetched HTML, we had some inline JS functions too for its own functioning.
Currently, we are getting HTML like below snippet
<html id=""StylesheetReport""><head><meta content=""IE=8"" http-equiv=""X-UA-Compatible""></meta><style............
When we use inbuilt function to replace 2 times double quote ("") to a double quote (") under expression, it does not allow since it requires always character and throws compilation error.
Replace(string, """", """);
But, when we try to replace above string to single quote ('), it works for HTML but breaks JS functions which breaks HTML functioning.
Replace(string, """", "'");
PFA Web-API output as HTML.
Please advise.
Hi Subhash.
You made a mistake in Replace(string, """", """).
Here you are not replacing two double quotes with one. The "" is how you represent " inside " ". So the 4 " symbols represent a single ". And the 3 symbols are not only wrong but invalid.
When you use Replace(string, """", "'") you are replacing one " by one '. Therefore, replacing "" with '' (two single quote, not one double quote).
What you want is Replace(string."""""","""") [6 and 4 times] replace two double quotes by one double quote.
Ok, so I have yet to see how the replace function, can change this from two double-quotes to one.
{""d"":{""results"":[{""vendorInvestingNumber"":""MSL04550BULK""}]}}
It seems all the posts herein, at least the ones that I have read, are asking the same thing. Looking for some assistance.
Thank you
Well Jorge,
exactly like Nuno said in 2019 will work, what about it don't you get ?
maybe color code to explain what Nuno is proposing :
Replace(Original,"""""","""")
RED = quotes around the literal string parameters of the replace formula
GREEN = first double quote of the to be replaced pair, represented by 2 " symbols
YELLOW = second double quote of the to be replaced pair, represented by 2 " symbols
BLUE = resulting replacement, only one double quote, represented by 2 " symbols
