If you only want to strip the quotes from the ends of the string  not the middle   and there is a chance that there can be spaces at either end of the string  i e  parsing a CSV format file where there is a space after the commas   then you need to call the Trim function twice   for example   string myStr       sometext            notice the leading space  myStr   myStr Trim                     would leave the first quote   sometext  myStr   myStr Trim   Trim              would get what you want  sometext

You can use either of these   s   s Replace            s   s Replace                but I do get curious as to why you would want to do that  I thought it was good practice to keep attribute values quoted

if you would like to remove a single character i guess it s easier to simply read the arrays and skip that char and return the array  I use it when custom parsing vcard s json   as it s bad json with  quoted  text identifiers   Add the below method to a class containing your extension methods     public static string Remove this string text  char character            var sb   new StringBuilder          foreach  char c in text                   if  c    character               sb Append c                 return sb ToString          you can then use this extension method   var text  myString Remove

I didn t see my thoughts repeated already  so I will suggest that you look at string Trim in the Microsoft documentation for C  you can add a character to be trimmed instead of simply trimming empty spaces   string withQuotes      hellow     string withOutQotes   withQuotes Trim         should result in withOutQuotes being  hello  instead of   hello
