How to represent the double quotes character (") in regex? [duplicate]

Question

I need to use regex, to check if a string starts with a double quotes character (") and ends with a double quotes character too.

The problem is I can't use a double quotes character, cause it gets confused. Is there any other way to represent a double quotes character " in regex, or in string in general?

String s = """;    // ?

Answer 1

you need to use backslash before ". like \"

From the doc here you can see that

A character preceded by a backslash ( \ ) is an escape sequence and has special meaning to the compiler.

and " (double quote) is a escacpe sequence

When an escape sequence is encountered in a print statement, the compiler interprets it accordingly. For example, if you want to put quotes within quotes you must use the escape sequence, \", on the interior quotes. To print the sentence

She said "Hello!" to me.

you would write

System.out.println("She said \"Hello!\" to me.");
