RegEx to correct Single quote to Double?
I have an epub that for some reason all the dialog is bracketed by single smart quotes. The single quote is also used for contractions and such

Is there a RegEx that would correct (but not over correct) this?

It's really annoying me

Now: He said, 'I'm going home now.' And he left.


Requested: He said, "I'm going home now." And he left.

but with the smart curly quotes

Thanks
