Remove double quotes

A Triva question.

What is the easy way to remove the double quotes in the file in the following format.

"asdfa","fdgh","qwer"

HTML Code:
tr -d '\"' <filename >newfilename
mv newfilename oldfilename
This need to be handled in a script. Any better way to do this. Will sed be more effecient?

One more question, If I come to know, " by itself a valid character in a field, I plan to remove "," and replace with , and in addition to that, first and last ".
May I know how to achieve this?

NAME
HTML::FormFu::Constraint::DependOn - Multi-field Dependency Constraint SYNOPSIS
type: DependOn name: foo others: bar DESCRIPTION
If a value is submitted for the field this constraint is attached to, then a value must also be submitted for all fields named in "others" in HTML::FormFu::Constraint::_others. By default, if any of the named fields in "others" in HTML::FormFu::Constraint::_others are missing, an error will be attached to each missing field. This behaviour can be changed by setting any of "attach_errors_to_base" in HTML::FormFu::Constraint::_others, "attach_errors_to_others" in HTML::FormFu::Constraint::_others or "attach_errors_to" in HTML::FormFu::Constraint::_others. This constraint doesn't honour the "not()" value. SEE ALSO
Is a sub-class of, and inherits methods from HTML::FormFu::Constraint::_others, HTML::FormFu::Constraint HTML::FormFu AUTHOR
