Remove single quote from start of the string and end of the string

I want to remove quote from starting of the string and end of the string. But my existing code is removing all quotes from the string. I tried to replace with Trim() method. But no hopes.

My code here

result = value.Replace("'", "").Split(',').ToList();

I tried the following also,

result = value.TrimStart(Convert.ToChar("'"))
              .TrimEnd(Convert.ToChar("'"))
              .Split(',')
              .ToList();

Please give me the proper way to do this.

if (value.Length >= 2 && value[0] == '\'' && value[value.Length - 1] == '\'') { value = value.Substring(1, value.Length - 2); }

this will check if the first and last char are actually single quote and if so remove it

You can try .Trim() like the following:

string inputStr = "'some string'";
string outputStr = inputStr.Trim(new char[]{(char)39});

Where (char)39 represents ', and the .Trim() will remove the first and last ' from the string; You can try like this as well:

string outputStr = inputStr.Trim('\'');

You can take a look into this Example

try this

  int indexOfFirst = value.IndexOf('\'');
  string temp = value.Remove(indexOfFirst, 1);
  int indexOfLast = temp.LastIndexOf('\'');         
  temp = temp.Remove(indexOfLast, 1);

Hope this was useful.
