Here's some working code (thanks to Mark)

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class TestString {
                public TestString() {
                                
                } // TestString constructor
                
                public static void main(String[] args) {
                                String originalString = "Original \"string\"";
                                StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
                                StringTokenizer stringTokenizer = new 
StringTokenizer(originalString, "\"");

                                System.out.println(originalString);

                                while (stringTokenizer.hasMoreTokens()){
                                                
stringBuffer.append(stringTokenizer.nextToken());
                                                stringBuffer.append("\\\"");
                                }

                                System.out.println(stringBuffer.toString());
                                
                } // end of main()
} // TestString
