Hi Henrique,
I think you found a bug. The following code works fine:
string Texto2 = regsub(Texto, "[']", "\\")
print Texto2
But only works for the "\\", of you try with other escaped chars it fail.
As an example of Perl regex, the following Unix command gives the expected
result.
sed "s/[']/\"/g" "Morte e Vida SeverinaSeverino.txt"

Dear Sven, thanks for your attention!
I tested with the resub and I got no success. Take a look at the following
code:
string Texto = sprintf("\n\
O meu nome é 'Severino',\n\
como não tenho outro de pia.\n\
Como há muitos 'Severinos',\n\
que é santo de romaria,\n\
deram então de me chamar\n\
'Severino de Maria'.")
string Texto1 = strsub(Texto, "'", "*")
print Texto1
string Texto2 = regsub(Texto, "'", "\"")
print Texto2
We can generate Texto1, but Texto2 fails.
Best,
Henrique
