Question

I would like a regular expression to match only ” that

• don’t come at the start of a line or after white space at the start of a line
• don’t come at the end of a line or before white space at the end of a line

I guess I need to use lookbehind and lookahead.

So matches the ” in

zfgjhsgaf jhsa gd " gjhygf" hgf

But not in

"gjhgjkgjhgjhgkk"

      "dfsdfsdf"

And replacing with:
