The first argument to the esc function is interpreted by PowerPro as
the string "test'" following by test" which is not valid syntax.
With esc, if you want to specify the first string literally, you
have to use the ?c...c format of a literal, ie
win.debug(esc(?*test'"test*,"'"))
Of course, you can use as easily avoid the esc and use
?*test"test*
With regard to your original question, in my tests with \ as escape
char,
win.debug(ReplaceChars(?*"xx""*, "\"", ""))
produces xx, as expected. So does
win.debug(ReplaceChars("\"xx\"\"", "\"", ""))
and so does
mytext="\"xx\"\""
win.debug(ReplaceChars(mytext, "\"", ""))
With standard configuration
