If a string is enclosed in ' characters, and I want to remove the

Seems like ' is not a normal character, or is it because its not a

Use of Nil in string context
in block <unit> at <unknown file> line 1

{<favicon />}

<favicon />

Hi Richard,
Are you trying to remove "all" single quotes
or just the ones surrounding the spoken word:
The profession said "The prime minister
rejected the phrase 'Bob's your Uncle'".
Which or all of the single quotes?
-T
Bob is definitely NOT my uncle.
