String Search & Replace?

I'm running into an issue where I need to take all the "'s out of a string
and replace them with \". It needs to be entirely dynamic as I don't know
where in the string the "'s will be.
I've checked the xlate statement, but it looks like I can only do single
character replacement (is this true?) which wouldn't work as I need to
escape the quote.
Obviously, I could use the mid() statement in a huge loop, but with the
amount of fields - and the size of fields, I'd end up taking too large of a
performance hit.
Any ideas?
