Replace text at the first of the specific lines? Sigil or Notepad++ Regex
1
How can I replace text at the first of specific lines
Example before:
<p>– Your mother created a song?</p>
<p>– She was a pianist.</p>
<p>– Okay then, let us hear the song.</p>
And i want to be like this
<p>"Your mother created a song?"
<p>"She was a pianist."</p>
<p>"Okay then, let us hear the song."</p>
Is there a way to do it in selected text area maybe with regex?

To be clear, you want to remove the–at the beginning of each line and suround all lines with quotes?
