Searching for tracks that have apostrophes in the title

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

Hello,

I’m wondering if there is a way in Plex to search for tracks that contain an apostrophe anywhere in the title. I’m trying to find any tracks with the “closing single quote” (’) so that I can replace them with the “straight single quote” (').

I tried using the Advanced Filters > Track Title, but it does not do what I want it to. The “contains” search only seems to grab track names where any of the words starts with an apostrophe (for example: 'S Wonderful or Tell ‘Em), but does not include situations where the apostrophe is not at the beginning (for example: Lovin’ You Is Fun or Jane’s Dream).

Is this type of search possible in Plex?

Probably not. You might want to look at Home · WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG Wiki · GitHub and its Export Tools module.

Thanks for the resource!

For anyone reading in the future, I was able to export the list of all track names to a CSV, imported the list into Excel, and then filtered track names there with the punctuation.
