RE: [cinjug-users] String problem???

["Figotin, Ilya (LNG-DAY)" <ilya.figotin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This does not work: originalString = originalString.replaceAll("\"", "\\\""
);

We need to use extra slashes \, because of the Java bytecode compiler
interpretation.
So the line should be like the following: 
originalString = originalString.replaceAll("\\\"", "\\\\\"");

Try using this code: 

public class TestStr
{

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, Exception
    {
        String originalString = "Original \"string\"";
        System.out.println(originalString);
        originalString = originalString.replaceAll("\\\"", "\\\\\"");
        System.out.println(originalString);

    }
}
