single quote escape - sed

[Declan Heerey]

I want to replace double quotes in a file with single, the sed command i am using is:

sed 's/"/'/g

but it just removes the double quotes, it doesn't replace them - any ideas?

Thanks

Try-

sed "s/\"/'/g"

You may need to escape the slingle quote as well:

sed s/\"/\'/g
