I am using the streamreader to read lines in a file. The problem is the file has double quotes surrounding things and when the StreamReader opens it, it escapes all those double quotes with \.

My question is how can I get it to not do that, or how can I open the file and delete all the double quotes in the file before it escapes them?

Thanks!
 
I didn't anderstand your question well.
Do you mean you have a line like this in the file:
"word"
and when you read it, you see in the watch window the string:
\"word\"
I tried that and I didn't see the \.
 
Which encoding do you use?
Try to write the string back to a file, and see if the \ remains in the file, if not, the \ is only for display I think.
