In an ACTION FORMAT Title expression I want to replace a single apostrophe.  
a'c -\> abc

As a temporary fix I use FORMAT TITLE $regexp(%title%,'a.c',abc) but would prefer to directly search for the single apostrophe.

This is obviously a simplified example ... I do need to literalize the match.

Thanks
