I am needing to read a comments field and replace the double quotes with 'inches' and replace & with 'and'. I tried my hand with regular expressions, but am very new to this and it did not work (user error I am sure). I also just tried Replace Text and it doesn't seem to work either.

Question about StringReplacer
Best answer by geomancer
StringReplacer works all right for me, see the attached workspace (FME 2020.1). It replaces " with <space>inches, and & with and.
I've also tried StringPairReplacer, in this transformer some special characters (like " and space) need to be escaped with \\.
