#gsub, #tr and #delete do the job:

irb(main):001:0> s = ‘asd " asdds " asdd "’
=> “asd " asdds " asdd “”
irb(main):002:0> s.gsub /”/, ‘’
=> "asd asdds asdd “’
irb(main):004:0> s.tr '”’, ‘’
=> “asd asdds asdd "
irb(main):006:0> s.delete '”’
=> "asd asdds asdd "

Oh, I misunderstood what you asked. Why do you need something like that?

I am using a search box in my project… when I search a product., I cant
match it., I think it is because of that double quotes. that is why., I
am searching for a query which removes double quotes…

I am using a search box in my project… when I search a product., It
take the searching data within double quotes,so it couldn’t search
because of double quotes.how to remove the double quotes

ex:
params=“3m”
model.where(:value=>/“3m”/) not working

model.where(:value=>/3m/) working

i couldn’t use like keyword because of mongodb

Sure, just take away “puts” from that line.
