I am hoping to use a "{" inside a string interpolation statement but I'm having trouble finding the escape character to do it.
var val = "ERROR_STATE";
var str = $"if(inErrorState){ send 1,\"{val}\" }"
Desired output:
if(inErrorState){send 1,"ERROR_STATE"}
The simple solution is to just not use string interpolation, but I think this way of doing it is easier to read.

Type { twice to escape it:
$"if(inErrorState){{send 1, \"{val}\" }}"
BTW you can do the same with double quotes.

I need to pass the folder path to the Python interface but spaces in the path make it complicated.
Example :
Defect.py C:\TestImage\Images works fine.
However, if there is a space in the path as below,
`Defect.py C:\**Test Image**\Images`
causes an error due to two separate parameters.
If I could pass it as :
Defect.py "C:\**Test Image**\Images" should work
So I am currently trying to use string.Format("{0}") to format this string with double quotations but does not work.
Please let me know how I could format the statement using string.Format. I need to use string.Format since there are multiple other parameters.
Try this:
string.Format("Defect.py \"C:\\{0}\\Images\"", "Test Image");
Bear in mind that the whole trick is to escape the character using the \" backslash escape character. The rest of it was just to show how to use the string.Format

I know how to split string. For example.
var str = line.Split(',')[1];
Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "Müllabfuhr", "Müllabfuhr\Müllabfuhr.csproj", "{1909EBCB-DDDF-469E-9F84-0B0A3B86A861}"
String i used to split.
I want to do the same but now split at "\" . I treid to just insert "\" instead of ",", but i doesnt seem to work.
"C:\Users\lennartf\Desktop\Unbenannt.png"
Try this: var str = #"C:\Users\lennartf\Desktop\Unbenannt.png".Split('\\');

Some string variables have a " in the data which recks with my php code. I want to take it out in my C# code before the data gets passed to php. I just can't remember the way of doing it, but I tried with this :
line.Replace(#""", "");
This is not correct in Xamarin, what is the good syntax?
I guess this would work.
line.replace("\"","");
use \ to escape it.
line.Replace("\"", "");

I am trying to build regex pattern but the string doesn't take single double quotes.
this is the pattern and it crashes when I add \"

In an # string literal, you need to use "" to escape double quotes:
#"(?<\""|\'|\“)(?'first'{0}\s(?'middle'{0}{1}{2}"

One of the strings I want to pass into a function contains {0}, which is a placeholder escape character in c#.
What is the correct syntax to get c# to ignore this? i tried encasing it in single quotes ('), but no good
Use double curly brackets.
Ex. '{0}' becomes '{{0}}'
Use this double curly brackets
{{0}}
You need to escape the curly braces like this:
{{0}}
