title: regex: how to find two recurring “ char within a line
body: <p>I am having hundreds of lines as illustrated below, with more than one opening double-quote (<strong>“</strong>) occurring within almost every line as shown below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>... “ ...  “ ..... “ .....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>note</strong>: those dots (...) above denote both words &amp; spaces in this context for illustrative purposes.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>How to search (via regex) for every such occurrence within every line? I tried achieving this with:</p>
  
  <p><code>“.*“</code>  or, 
      <code>“.* “</code> <br></p>
  
  <p>but it is disappointingly returning even those who are proper i.e., with both opening &amp; closing double quotes also (which is the correct way it should be) as follows:<br/></p>
  
  <p><code>... “ ...” ..... “ .....” ...... “ .....</code></p></li>
  <li><p>For every second <code>[space]“</code> recurring within every line it encounters — How to replace them (via regex) into <code>” [space]</code>?</p></li>
  </ol>
