Replace ="Text” with =\"Text\” using Preg_Replace

I would like to replace the following:





="Dark4Red"





with





=\"Dark4Red\"





The = sign and double quotations are fixed ="..." I just need to add slashes before double quotations.







$content = preg_replace('/="[^a-zA-Z#0-9]"/', '=\"[^a-zA-Z#0-9]\"', $line);







The above solution didn't work. Any idea?

    You can use

    $str = '"Text"';
    str_replace('"','\"', $str);

I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...
