Try this , this code removes only first and last occurrence of double quotes and not all occurrences of double quotes.

String input_string = "\"He said\"I am not intrested\"\"";

            String after_first_replace = input_string.replaceFirst("\"", "");

            String final_input = after_first_replace.substring(0, after_first_replace.lastIndexOf("\""));
            System.out.println(final_input);

Another one:

a = a.replaceAll("^\"(.*)\"$","$1");

Try this

String s= "\"[/^^/]\"";
s = s.substring(1,s.length()-1));
System.out.println(s);

String a = "\"[/^^/]\"";
a = a.replace("\"", "");
System.out.println(a);

Works for me. Don't forget that String is immutable in Java, so you have to store the result of your replace in your variable.

You may try this:

a= a.replaceAll("^\"|\"$", "");
