What you really want is to change a quote to "inch" if the quote is
not at the start of the line, not preceeded by a comma, not followed
by a comma, and not at the end of a line.

But that will only fix inch when it is after 3/4
how about

Windows? Try making a shortcut to the .pl6 file, then you can change the
icon of the shortcut, and put that in the task bar. I don't remember the
details but it ought to be enough to find it via web search.

I created a Perl6 program for a customer. I created a shortcut

you want a negative lookahead assertion, which are described (with an
example) at https://docs.perl6.org/language/regexes#Lookahead_Assertions

Hi All,
What I am trying to do is to replace a quote `"`
with `inches`, but NOT when the quote is followed
by a comma `,`.
In other words, ignore `",`
I am not having too good a time with it. What am I
doing wrong?
