Thread Subject: replacing character ' in a string

Hello,

I would like to replace the prime in words like it's, who's etc by another character. I do not see any simple way to do it. Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

See also "help strrep", which would be necessary if you were replacing string segments longer than 1 character.
