sed command issue
Hi everybody,

I have come across a typical problem:

I need to use sed command to replace an apostrophe but it is saying no match found in the error

sed -e 's/`/'/g' ...but it is not working. Can you please tell me how to use this apostrophe in this sed command please. Thanks.

Rubin
