Question

I am looking for a regular expression that will look for Apostrophe in a string. The string can be a sentence too. I tried a simple regex like (‘) but it only checks for one character in a string. How to I check for the entire string.

For example.

"Hello! I have many PC's"

will be a match”
but

 "@#%@^@&%@!%!::"";[] I dont have any PCs)" 

will be a mismatch (basically any character except Apostrophe)”

Thanks

Answer 1

so you’re looking to see if any string has an apostrophe, .*["'].* would match the entire string that contained an apostrophe and ["'] would match just the apostrophes say if you wanted to replace them or whatever and something like this ^["']\w+["'] to match just your first case.
