You’d probably get it right if you started over, set it back to the original backslash-missing starter string, and then carefully put in the backslashes before the quotes without touching the space bar or backspace keys. That might be the easiest way. But if you want to count spaces:

// You need this one below
var myStr = "I am a \"double quoted\" string inside \"double quotes\".";
var myStr = "I am a \"double quoted \"string inside \"double quotes \".";
// But you have that ^
