I noticed an issue in using the above tr command. The tr command COMPLETELY removes the "smart quotes". It would be better to replace the "smart quotes" with something like this.

This will give you a quick preview of what will be replaced.

This will do the replacements and put the replacement in a new file called WithoutSmartQuotes.txt.

This will overwrite the original file.

sed -i ".bk" s/[”“]/'"'/g File.txt
