MATLAB: Problem with a string .

Question

Hello here is my string :

'abc "abc" '

I need to throw out single quotation mark and replace double quotation mark to single quotation mark so the output will be :

 abc 'abc'

How to do it ?

Thanks a lot.

What does "here is my string" exactly mean? Strings do not contain the surrounding quotes. They appear only, if e.g. a cell string is printed to the command window:

C = {'string'};
disp(C)

Therefore I assume this is enough:

S = 'abc "abc" ';
S = strrep(S, '"', char(39));
fprintf('%s\n', S);

I use char(39) because it looks less strange than '''', but both create exactly the same: one quote character.
