Surround a string in quotes.

return b.toString();
Stringquoted(String path)
Useful for example for javac, which doesn't like file paths with spaces if they are not in double quotes.

path = path.replaceAll("\"", "\\\\\"");
return "\"" + path + "\"";
StringquoteD(String s)
Take a string and delimit it with double quotes. 
return quoteImpl(s, '\"');
Stringquoted(String s)
Returns a String which equals the argument except that occurrences of '"' are expanded into its quoted-printable escaped equivalent sequence, '\"'. 
if (s == null || s.indexOf('"') < 0)
    return s;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(s.length() + 5);
int i, start = 0;
while ((i = s.indexOf('"', start)) > -1) {
    sb.append(s.substring(start, i));
    sb.append("\\\"");
    start = i + 1;
