If you have backslashes in your string, you may need to escape them.

Something like this?

REM"\"123467

If yes, is it possible to have aregex to do that because the item list of my dropdown list is imported automatically 

Thanks

No, that is not escaping, that is quoting. Are you using / or \ as they are different?
