How to escape singlequote(') in azure logic app expression replace function

Question

In Azure logic Apps, how can I escape single quotes(') using a replace function?

I have a JSON payload where I have to replace a single quote(') with a double quote("). The expression I've came up with looks like this:

replace(string(@triggerBody()),'/' ','/" ')

But my second expression to escape the single quote (') isn't working.

       "name": "single''dds double\"te",
       "email": "special signle and double quotes",
       "password": "pp@pp"
   }

I had problem escaping single quote in query parameter concat. I resolved it by used double quote. Thanks to tips in this post.

concat('**Text1**', ''**'**' , '**text2**',''**'**')

resulted in :

Text1'text2'

Take a note of four single quotes.
