How to replace single quotes and &apos in a file
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
I am trying to replace single quotes in a file and I used the command as
sed /s/'//g filename and this command works fine but I have &apos character also in my file and which is not getting replaced. Can I use below code
sed "/s/'//g" -e '/s/&apos//g' filename
bash shell shell-script

Why not try the code and see what happens? If it works, great... if it doesn't post the error here and people will be happy to help.

You probably want to search for'(with the semicolon)

You seem to have a stray leading forward slash in your sed command:
sed "/s/'//g"
should be:
sed "s/'//g"
If you want multiple expressions, just use -e for both of them (here I'm assuming with Glenn Jackman that you want ' instead of just &apos):
sed -e "s/'//g" -e "s/'//g" filename
