How to remove double quotes

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I need the final result to be
http://text:moretext@numbers:morenumbers/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"VideoLibrary.Scan"}

and then open it with Process.Start();

But even though I manipulate the text as it should be, when I open it in process.start then the double quotes gets \ in front of it

When I view my string it is fine, it is only when I move it to the process.start it seems to include the \

I hope there is a smart person who can advice me

What I have tried:

I have tried to change the double quotes with \"

I have tried change to single quotes and then do a replace("'", "\"");

I tried also with @"http://text:moretext@numbers:morenumbers/jsonrpc?request={""jsonrpc"":""2.0"",""method"":""VideoLibrary.Scan""}"

All of them when moving it to process.start then it add the \ in fron of the double quotes, which makes the url not work as intended

Thanks for your efforts

The "\" isn't really there, your debugger is adding it to show the quote is a literal quote and not the start\end of a string. Your problem is no doubt elsewhere, replace the quote with " to make them url friendly.

You tell us the final result without showing where you started or the code to get the result with the problem. We can't see your screen from here...

I tried with "
Unfortunately, it came into the url

/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"VideoLibrary.Scan"}

I get a JSON parse error (also with the other attempts)

error
code -32700
message "Parse error."
id null
jsonrpc "2.0"

You might be right, the error can be somewhere else. But if I manual put the url into the browser it works fine

Karthnik,

This is the expected result in the browser - http://kodi:Cami2017@192.168.178.194:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"VideoLibrary.Scan"}

Here is my attempt with single quote -

string tmpurl = @"http://text:moretext@number:morenumbers/jsonrpc?request={jsonrpc':'2.0','method':'VideoLibrary.Scan'}";

tmpurl = tmpurl.Replace("'","\"");

Process.Start(url);

/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"VideoLibrary.Scan"}
and
http://kodi:Cami2017@192.168.178.194:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"VideoLibrary.Scan"}
looks same, then what is your expected ??

You guys are right, I did not add enough info -

So I started writing up a better problem description, where I noticed when I copied the URL into the forum my url was like this

"http://192.168.178.194:8080/jsonrpc?request={%22jsonrpc%22:%222.0%22,%22method%22:%22VideoLibrary.Scan%22}"

so with %22, I copied them in my string instead of " and it worked.

Thanks again for your help, I guess I was just focused on the wrong thing.

Solution 2

What you need to use for URL QueryString values is UrlEncode[^] for uncoding special characters like the " mark. I've given you a link with multiple versions - pick the one that best suits your type of application.
