Replacing single quote with double quote in a line

| Hello group,
I am looking for a single sed line for replacing single quote with
double quote in a line.
I prefer a one step process rather than two seds in pipe.
Thanks

Nice solution. I think it's prettier if you write it this way:
tr "'" '"'
Or this way:
tr ' \"
I guess part of my point is that symmetry is nice.

I prefer using a character other than "/" in sed expressions where you
are going to use backslashes. It's tricky for the eye to make sense of
a string that has a bunch of slashes and backslashes in it. So:
sed -e s:':\":g
Or, you can take advantage of the fact that you can quote either type of
quote character with the other type and the fact that you can begin and
stop quoting in the middle of a string:
sed -e s:"'":'"':g

Or with one fewer quoting characters:
sed -e s/'/\"/g
