      Trying to remove quote marks out of few fields and am having trouble getting it to work with regsub.

      I’ve tried several different formats but this is the most recent code I’ve tried:  

      regsub -all {[“]} $quote {} quote

      Thanks for any help provided…

          Your code works for me?

          You can also try

          regsub -all ” $quote {} quote

            Well, that’s wierd…It works for me too, but only if I enter a ” in SMAT and resend it.  If the quotes are already there from the registration system then the quote marks remain

              Is it possible they are sending two single quotes side-by side?  eg. ” vs “

                I tried it with a single quote and had no luck.  Here’s what is coming in the IN1 segment when no insurance is selected for example:  IN1|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””|””

                I did just notice that when I put “” in via SMAT and resent that message then it changed those marks to , but left the rest them alone.  It’s almost like all those quote marks aren’t even there.  We are going to be doing integrated testing the next few days so I’ll have to check the other analysts to see during that to see if they are getting quote marks at all.  I was just trying to be proactive…guess I learned to quit doing that!

                  If you are doing this in Xlate, depending on version, you may to also change the OB data type from null to ch.

                    I’m sure this is a silly question since you know your sending system better than I do but here goes.  You mentioned that the sending system sends the quotes when no insurance is selected.  I know some systems actually send text to say “NO INSURANCE” or something to that matter.  Could it be that this is the sending systems way of deleting an insurance?

                    Shot in the dark……but wanted to make sure all the bases are covered.

                    I’ve done this in a proc before and this is how I got it to work:

                    regsub -all {“”} $msg {} newmsg

                    Hope you get it working!
