I'm trying to create a method that will take a String entered by the =
user, and generate a String that has all/any language-specific escape =
characters removed/rendered inoperable.

ferinstance...
User inputs the string:=20
He said, "But what\where will it be".

I want the method to transform that into:
[C#]
He said, \"But what\\where will it be\".
[VB]
He said, ""But what\where will it be"".

    Sounds like a Big ol' Block o' Replace Statements® to me. Just make sure
you establish an order of precedence, i.e. escape slashes before anything
else for the C# version :)

    I'm curious as to other answers, but I don't know of any nice, clean way to
get around this other than adding the literal indicator "@" to the beginning
of a string in C#.
