Regex single quotes and apostrophe 1

[dmazzini]

Hi guys

Quick question:

How Can I replace single quotes and apostrophe for spaces.?

it does not work for me........

$bts_location= qq(AT  `T Lockwood at I-10);
#$bts_location=qq(Crown-Hardy '  Little York);

$bts_location=~s/\\`//g;   
print "BTS:$bts_location\n";

That looks like a backtik not an single-quote. There is no space on the replacement side of your regexp?

Anyway, use tr/// it is considerably more efficient:

$foo =~ tr/'`/ /;

As far as I know a single-quote and an apostrophe are the same thing.

If I understand your gaol then try this:

$bts_location=~s/`/ /g;
