I want to replace lat with "lat" and lng with "lng". However, this does not work:

e.replace('lat', "lat")

Answer 1

e.replace("lat","\"lat\"")

You can use \ for escaping special chars like " '

Answer 2

e=e.replace("lat","\"lat\"")

For replacing with an escape sequence. ,you always have to put an \ backslash before it

Answer 3

Try e.replace('lat', '"lat"').
