Hello @Daniel,

I was just wondering whether a solution has been found/offered yet on this question?

Hi Daniel McCosh

since there are quite a few different quotation marks and quite a few typesetting opinions I would use unicode to address the characters you mean.

What makes your example a little bit more tricky is that you move the period outside the quotation marks. Is that intended or a typo?

Daniel

For which the \p{Pi} and \p{Pf} Unicode category blocks should be used.

Hi @Daniel Hug,

Just to clarify I do not need to move the period, that was a typo, sorry.

I want to correct all instances where u+0027 was inserted instead of a left quotation mark (u+2018) or right quotation mark (u+2019).

Once I'm back in the office I shall have another look at this. Thanks also to @Anthony Rudd for the hint on using unicode category blocks.

AFAIK these unicode blocks work only with certain Regex flavors, .NET being one of them. (So they work in most Trados Studio contexts.) AFAIK they won't work with PCRE or Javascript Regex.

Daniel

True, but because we are in the SDL context, I have assumed the .NET regex flavour. It is also true that the Studio Find/Replace has "problems" with some regex expressions that work correctly with the Display Filter and the Advanced Display Filter; these, however, have the disadvantage that matches are not highlighted.

Just reporting back: I did manage to find a solution with some expert help, however it was only possible using memoQ which has a syntactical keyword for matching tags using regular expressions and I don't believe this is possible in Studio.
