Double quotes

[sabetik]

Need help with gsub command to remove one of the double quotes.

Here my input: ""254""
like to print;: "254"

Thanks

echo '""foo"' | nawk '{q="\""; gsub(/""/,q); print}'

or better yet:
echo '""foo"' | nawk -v q='"' '{gsub(q q, q); print}'

vlad

| #include<disclaimer.h> |

and multiple quotes:

echo '""""""foo"' | nawk -v q='"' '{gsub(q q "*", q); print}'
