Problem: I have thousands of documents which contains a specific character I don't want. E.g. "the character a". These documents contain a variety of characters, but the a's I want to replace "are inside double quotes or" single quotes. I would "like to find and replace them", and I thought using Regex would be needed. I am using VSCode, but I'm open to any suggestions. My attempt: I was able to find the following regex to match for a specific string containing the "values inside the" (). ".*?(r).*?" However, this only highlights the entire quote. I want to highlight the character only. Any solution, "perhaps outside of regex", is welcome.
