Hello List,
I have a string variable which has double quotes and/or single quotes in
some of the values and I would like to delete and generate a new variable.
For example,
Old Name New Name
Brad Allred"s Brad Allreds
STEVEN" KROFF' STEVEN KROFF
How can I put the double quote <"> and/or single quote <'> in the index
string function to search for and delete it? I can't figure out the trick to
search for quotes in a string variable; I get the error message "too few
quotes" in all my attempts. Can anyone please help me with this?
Thank you,
Pinaki
