I have a string that has several occurrences of \" and I would like to
replace them with "

msg = msg.Replace("\"", """); //this does not work

Any suggestions?

Oops... right, there is a syntax error:
=> msg = msg.Replace("\\\"", "\"")

Dim incomingString As String = "bl\ahba\lhbal\hbalh"

        incomingString = incomingString.Replace("\", """")
     ' 4 "'s
        MsgBox(incomingString)

hope this helps
