I don't know if this is the correct forum to ask a Scintilla-related question.

I have recently imported code/text from a PDF-file. I would like to change
\x093 to a normal quote. I have looked at stripTrailingSpaces, but I don't seem
to get the hang of it.
Uh? What relation between "Left Double Quotation Mark" and
stripTrailingSpaces?
Am I correct to use \093 for “ as regex ?
For me, \x093 and \093 are different things, but since 093 isn't a
correct octal number, I suppose this is just a typo.
In Scintilla, the primitive RegExp engine doesn't handle numerical
escape chars, just \a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \v although with the current
implementation/use, it will never see \n and \r since only whole lines
are given to this engine.
Can anybody give me pointers on how to replace characters globally with
Scintella/Lua ?
Uh again? Scintilla isn't related with Lua except by its Lua lexer.
Lua is embeded in SciTE, not in Scintilla.
I suppose you know how to do a replace in SciTE: Ctrl+H, type the wanted
char (Alt+0147) or paste it, then type in the next field the char
replacing the previous one.
But since you are asking that on the Scintilla list, I suppose you have
your own program using it.
Scintilla doesn't have a routine to replace strings. This has to be
implemented in the Scintilla client. You can take a look at the way
SciTE does it. And, if you check the "Transform \xx expressions" option,
you can search and replace \x93, as they are converted by SciTE before
submitting the request to Scintilla.
HTH.
