Replace all special characters

I have a string that looks like this:

<a href=\"test\" />

I want to to replace the /" to ", so that it looks like this <a href="test" />.

Therefore I am using this piece of code:

content = content.replaceAll("\\\"", "\"");

For some reason it doesn't find \". So it isn't being replaced.

replaceAll takes a regex. Therefore, you must escape the escape like this:

s = s.replaceAll("\\\\\"", "\"");

Try this code: string.replaceAll(Pattern.quote("\\\""), "\"");
