Find & Change Question

[Peter Bloeme]

I'm using FM 8 and need to change curly cue quotes to regular quotes for export to a html template. I can do this without a problem in the normal search and replace feature of FM however, I have not been able to do this through the script step search and replace.

In the normal search and replace, you can type in the curly cue quotes and the regular quotes without quotes. However, in the script step, the program forces you to include what you are trying to find within quotes. The funny thing is individual apostrophies work correctly either way.

Am I simply overlooking something or is this a bug?

TIA

The quotes need to be escaped so they can be put in a calculation. Do this by putting a backslash before each quote (curly or not). Here's a calculation that works: Substitute ( t_myText ; [ "“" ; """ ] ; [ "”" ; """ ] )

In case the calc doesn't show up well, here's the first [] in words: Quote Backslash CurlyQuote Quote ; Quote Backslash Quote Quote
