How to replace text in this situation?

turbosupramk3

Using the code below, I am trying to find the text

but when I view what my program is seeing, it is actually seeing

How do I adjust for the escape characters that are added before the quotes when my code does a File.ReadAllText?

string allFileText = File.ReadAllText(networkFilePath);
if (allFileText.Contains(replacementLine))
{
lvwAppendFiles.Items.Add(networkFilePath + " contains " + replacementLine);
}
else
{
lvwAppendFiles.Items.Add(networkFilePath + " does NOT contain " + replacementLine);
}

Since it looks like XML, I would consider using the

System.Xml and System.Xml.Linq

classes instead of trying to interpret the input myself.

If you are looking at the string in the debugger, it is the debugger that is adding the escape characters to what it is displaying, they aren't actually in the string. The easy way to verify this is to check the Length of the string. It should not include the escape characters in the count.
