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 🙂

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, e.g.

“(.*?)”

EDIT:

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

"([^"]*)"

with

“$1”
