Old 03-12-2012
Have delved through some very old notes on Vi and some more recent notes on Vim, seems that you used to be able to do this using the substitute command like this;

Code:
:1,$%s/\\0223/'/g

Or in sed

Code:
sed -e s/\\0223/"/g <oldfile> > newfile

However I'm unable to test this for you, the post that this replaced was incorrect.

Regards

Dave
