Search and replace using a regex in Sublime Text

Question

How to do a search and replace with Sublime Text, so it finds "(wildcard)" ?

I want to do a simple find and replace to get curly quotes, I expect that this can be done using regex.

Thanks :)

Answer 1

If you're looking to make curly quotes into straight quotes, then can you just replace “ , ' , ” , and ' with " , ' , " , and ' , respectively? But maybe that is not your aim. You should be able to use the curly quotes "literally" in your regex, eg

“(.*?)”

EDIT:

Ah, so you want to convert straight quotes to curly quotes. In that case, try replacing

"([^"]*)"

with

“$1”
