I don't think you need the '?',
.* means match any number of any characters. The question mark means
match exactly 0-1 instances.

I know I've done this sort of thing successfully in the past, but I
am having difficulty at the moment. I am trying to find an replace a
word (e.g., sail) followed by a random series of characters (numbers,
letters, symbols) of varying length, followed by a semicolon and a
quote (;"). ideas?
Thanks.
