I made a HTML page, to be an article to one forum I'm in, but the forum system won't accept the " character because it uses it too so I need to remove all the " characters I've got or to replace them with ' or something like this...
My question is, how can I do it (beside manualy), which applications are available for this purpose and which one is the best one to use?

You may have heard me brag up NoteTab (http://www.notetab.com) before but it is the best programmable text editor out there. It uses standard search and replace but also does regular expressions (Regex) search and replace, including document, global (all open documents), and disk (all files matching the file mask, including in subdirectories) (with the option of doing backups of the files first so that it isn't "search and destroy.")
The lite version is free while the Pro version is ~20$ US and includes syntax highlighting.
Try replacing all " with "
Depending on the forum, this will be outputted as a " (like it does in these forums)

Thnx DCElliott!
And HZR, this is not the point, I'm not posting it in the forum itself but in the articles part of the site, which has it own tags and I can't use the same tags for it, therefor I can't use " and I need to use ' or nothing at all...
Well, even Notepad in Windows 2000/XP can handle this if that's your OS. Just press Ctrl + H.

You might take a look at a couple of editors that I use from time to time.
1)Metapad is Notepad on steriods for Notepad kinda things
2)UltraEdit will do all of what you asked but may be overkill. I previously used UltraEdit as an HTML editor until I found FP:eek:
Tucows and Ziff Davis are always good sources for software.
