(don't think this q. is from Andrew Welch, but anyway)
er, it's from me :)
replace($input, ' ^"|"$" ', '', 'x')
which will remove opening/closing quotes.
Cool, thanks. In csv quotes in quoted values are escaped by doubling
the quotes, so just removing the opening/closing quotes is the way to
go. (In my specific requirement though I can guarantee there's no
escaped quotes so translate would've been fine)
replace($input, ' " ', '', 'x')
to remove any quote (here you can use translate() as well). Use:
replace($input, ' ^([ " '' ])|\1$" ', '', 'x')
(remove spaces in the character class) if you want to remove quotes in:
"my text here" and 'my text here' but not in
"my text here' or 'my text here"
HTH, cheers,

It does, thanks Abel.
