i tried 

`sdadads'sdasdads"this is the 'quote"`.replace(/\"[^\']\"/g, 'replaced')

but the output is

Solution

  • You may use this .replace with a function:

    var str = `"this 'is 'the 'quote"`

var repl = str.replace(/"[^"]*"/g, function($0) { 
           return $0.replace(/'/g, ""); });

console.log(repl);
//=> "this is the quote"
