How to deal with an apostrophe

Solved
Jakol -  
Hello,

I would like to know how to perform a 
sed
on a string that contains an apostrophe.

Example:

For the string 
l'application est nulle
, how can I correct the command 
sed 's/l'application/L'application/g'
?

I know the syntax is wrong. Thank you for correcting it.

Best regards

    Hello,

    The simplest way is to surround your expression 
    sed
    with quotes: 

    echo "the_tree" | sed -e "s/'/_/g"


    Good luck
