Searching for a character within single quotes

[manualph]

Version:5.3.1

In textpad, is it possible to search for a character which are within single quotes?

For ex: I want to search for the character ampersand (&) but only those which are within single quotes like below

'ScheduledList&PostEventsRSDAction'

Use Posix regular expression syntax:

Configure | Preferences | Editor

[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax

You can search for lines that contain an ampersand between properly paired single quotes:
^[^']*('[^']*'[^']*)*'[^']*&[^']*'

What do you want to do with these ampersands?
