using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public class Test
{
  public static void Main()
  {
    string str = "begin:'this is an 'example' text'"; 
    str = Regex.Replace(str, "(?<=')(.*?)'(?=.*')", "$1");  
    Console.WriteLine(str);

string yoursentence = "'this is an 'example' text'";
yoursentence = "'" + yoursentence.Replace("'","")  + "'";

You don't need to use regex (and it's not very well suited to this situation anyway). Try this instead:

string oldString = "'this is an 'example' text'";
string newString = "'" + oldString.Replace("'","") + "'";

Based on your comments:

  1. Remove all single quotes from the string.
  2. Add single quotes to beginning and end of string.
