Re: Escaping a Double quote character

[Bryan Bende <bb...@gmail.com>]

Hi Sean,

I believe you should be able to do this with replace() if you use use
single quotes to wrap the parameters.

An example of replacing double-quotes with ABC, for an attribute named
test: ${test:replace('"', 'ABC')}

Let us know if you run into any problems.
