I am trying to create a macro that performs several search and replaces. The one I am having a big problem with is converting quotes. I want to take a text file with simple low ascii straight up and down quotes, and convert those quotes to the curly high ascii ones for a specific font.

Basically, I cannot figure out how to ignore the middle space between quotes on replace.

Replace |34 |M |34 with |210 ??? |211

Try

Replace('\d034{.*}\d034', '\d210\1\d211', REGEXP+ALL+NOERR)

Thanks! It worked wonderfully.

I was trying something along those lines actually, but I couldn't get |M out of my head (or the code) even when using 'regular expressions'.

This will only work if the quoted string is all on one line
because the regular expression .* operator only works on one
line.

Otherwise you can try the following macro commands:

Repeat(ALL) {
Search(/"|M"/,ERRBREAK)
Replace(/"/,"|210")
Replace(/"/,"|211")
}
