    Hi Guys

    I am looking for a way to replace ' and " with ^ from a string when selecting.

    currently using

    select replace (xxx,"'","^") which work fine for '

    is there a way of combining the 2?

    Thanks!

    nested replaces is the way to do it...same as you started:

    replace(replace (xxx,"'","^") ,"""","^")
