I want to replace all instances of the combination of \" with \"

Using the Regex code below, I end up replacing ALL " with &guot; and all
\" with \&guot;
How can I make it ONLY replace the combination of \" ?

$TextBlockToConvert =~ s/\"/\quot;/g;

NOTE:
The combination of \" may or may not have other characters butting up
against either or both sides of it.


Thanks,

The backslash character is special in double quoted strings so you have
to escape it if you want a literal backslash character.

$TextBlockToConvert =~ s/\\"/"/g;
