Using a replace statement in a powershell quote string

I want to run a command

foreach-object {$_ -replace

However, the line I'm trying to work with can be described as follows:

this string "has" quotes

whole line

foreach-object {$_ -replace "this string "has" quotes", "this string "won't have" quotes"}

How to make this quote fill a line using powershell?

You can either avoid nested double quotes, for example like this: `"or even better, use single quotes to quote a string, then you won’t need to avoid double quotes, for example:

'this string "has" quotes'

Note: with single quotes you will not get the variable extension in the string.

Did you try to double your quotes as an escape character for quotes? i.e.

$a = "This String ""Has"" Quotes"
$a = $a.replace("This String ""Has"" Quotes","this string ""won't have"" quotes. ")

You can use double quotes Grave (tilde key) as an escape character. You can do this with any special character in the string.

eg.

$a = "This String `"Has`" Quotes"
$a = $a.replace("This String `"Has`" Quotes","this string won't have quotes. ")
