Search for double quotes

[mandy]

I need to search for double quotes (") in order to replace them with single quotes ('). Please can someone tell me how to do this as currently the search returns nil results when I simply type " in the 'search for' box.

Thanks very much.

Hello Mandy,

I do not believe you can search for the standard quote character "
but if you have indented ones like “ or ” in your file then you should be able to search for those.

Best,

Thanks Stefan - how do I search for 'indented' quotes?
Apart from the fact that the 'indented' quotes you keyed look like they are curly (smart) ones rather than straight ones, please can you clarify how 'indented' quotes differ from the ordinary double quotes?

Hi Mandy,

Actually those are the quotes you refer to as "smart", and unfortunately you can't search for standard quotes. And they differ in being a separate character - so the Viewer (and other applications) recognize and refer to them with separate codes.

Best,
Stefan
