Thanks
Hi Ranga,
For some reason, but your command substituted only one line. Does my cursor has to be at the end for file?
Thanks!

Jane M' Doe
So what should I include to remove the white space to make the part before apostrophe and part after to combine.
Example:
John D' Smith --> John DSmith
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
