You can also use replaceAll(search, replaceWith) [MDN].

Then, make sure you have a string by wrapping one type of quotes by a different type:

 'a "b" c'.replaceAll('"', "'")
 // result: "a 'b' c"
    
 'a "b" c'.replaceAll(`"`, `'`)
 // result: "a 'b' c"

 // Using RegEx. You MUST use a global RegEx(Meaning it'll match all occurrences).
 'a "b" c'.replaceAll(/\"/g, "'")
 // result: "a 'b' c"

Important(!) if you choose regex:

when using a regexp you have to set the global ("g") flag; otherwise, it will throw a TypeError: "replaceAll must be called with a global RegExp".

Use double quote to enclose the quote or escape it.

newTemp = mystring.replace(/"/g, "'");

or

newTemp = mystring.replace(/"/g, '\'');
