Verbatim string literals

Hi folks,

Apologies - am having a bit of a "senior moment"...

Is there a way to convert a string containing escaped characters into a
verbatim string literal?

I.e. converting something like

"This string contains \"double quotes\" and \'single quotes\'"

into

@"This string contains "double quotes" and 'single quotes'"

I had thought that Regex.Unescape did this, but it's not working for me this
morning...

Any assistance gratefully received.

Mark
 
Even in verbatim string literals, double quotes are not escaped. Within
verbatim strings, you need to escape double quotes with double quotes.
e.g.,
string test = @"abc""def";
