I've scanned some documents using ABBYY Finereader and I've since discovered that almost all of the ,' with a /.

I though this would be a good case for regex and for the find, I'm seeming to be successfull with:

Code:

[/]\s[a-z]

to locate the backslashes, but I'm struggling with what to put in as the replacement. I can't simply have it as ,' as my search is looking for all backslashes that precede a space and a lowercase letter.

I've tried

Code:

,’ \1

but that only seemed to work fine in EditPad Lite, not in Sigil as I've now converted it to an epub. So now it's an epub, I need a replace command that works there.
