Correct RegExp for Substituting "(word 1)(word 2)(word ...)" by "`(word 1)(word2)(word ...)"'?

Correct RegExp for Substituting "(word 1)(word 2)(word ...)" by "`(word 1)(word2)(word ...)"'?

[Peter Heidrich]

Dear Emacs Users,

I still have not found the right search and replace terms in order to 
substitute a set of words starting and ending with quotes.

The text is standard ASCII, encoding is iso-latin1.

Does someone have the correct terms for the search and the substitute 
regexp?

Regards,
Peter.

Did you read about greedy and so greedy regular expressions? It's  
mentioned in the GNU Emacs documentation about regexp's. You need to  
use the non-greedy form or it would start with the first double-quote  
in the line and end with its last one.
