Replacing quote marks around strings in Vim?

Question

I have something akin to and need to change the single quotation marks to double quotation marks. I tried :s/\\\'.*\\\'/\

You've got the right idea -- you want to have "\1" as your replace clause, but you need to put the "Hello There" part in capture group 1 first (0 is the entire match). Try:

:%/'\(.*\)'/"\1"
