I seriously don't understand why you're having so much trouble with this
and why this thread has gotten as long as it has :/

Look here:

$ python
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Jun 13 2010, 14:03:16)
[GCC 4.4.4 (CRUX)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> s = "foo\"bar'"
>>> s
'foo"bar\''
>>> s.replace("\"", "").replace("'", "")
'foobar'
>>>

Surely you can use the same approach ?

cheers
James
