My long time ed-trained fingers want to type
s/"\([^"]+\)"/``\1''/g
to pull out stuff between quotes and give them ``-'' quotes. I will admit
to a weak grasp of the sam command language, but a quick glance at the
doc didn't show anything revealing. My question is, how do you do this in
sam?
A separate question. 9term has snarfe 0x81 in libXg as a Page-Up key, which
I miss terribly in sam - any chance of that getting added in to the "next"
release?
Much thanks,
Arnold

I'm sure that someone out there has a better solution, but if you can train
your ed fingers to forget the backslash before the parenthesis, you've got it
made. Sam has an s command, too.
With dot set to:
this is just to say "hello goodbye" to you.
we can do:
s/"([^"]*)"/``\1''/
and get:
p
this is just to say ``hello goodbye'' to you.
Regards,
Neil
