How can I remove a specific character, a double-quote ("), appearing any number of times, from the start and end of a string?
I had a look at string.trim(), which trims any whitespace characters, but it's not possible to provide an optional argument with " as the needle to search for.

You can easily remove white spaces from both ends of a string by using the String. Trim method, as shown in the following example. String^ MyString = " Big "; Console::WriteLine("Hello{0}World! ", MyString); String^ TrimString = MyString->Trim(); Console::WriteLine("Hello{0}World!
JavaScript provides three functions for performing various types of string trimming. The first, trimLeft() , strips characters from the beginning of the string. The second, trimRight() , removes characters from the end of the string. The final function, trim() , removes characters from both ends.
In Python you can use the replace() and translate() methods to specify which characters you want to remove from the string and return a new modified string result. It is important to remember that the original string will not be altered because strings are immutable.
Use the trim() method to remove the line breaks from the start and end of a string, e.g. str. trim() . The trim method removes any leading or trailing whitespace from a string, including spaces, tabs and all line breaks.
You can use RegEx to easily conquer this problem:
myString = myString.replace(/^"+|"+$/g, '');
You can substitute the " with any character (be careful, some characters need to be escaped).
Here's a demo on JSFiddle.
An explanation of the regular expression:
/ - start RegEx (/)
^"+ - match the start of the line (^) followed by a quote (") 1 or more times (+)
| - or
"+$ - match a quote (") 1 or more times (+) followed by the end of the line ($)
/ - end RegEx (/)
g - "global" match, i.e. replace all
