Do a find and replace, where the regular expression checkbox is  
selected. Then, in the find box, put:
title="[^"]"
and in the replace part whatever you want it to be replaced with. If  
you want to actually use the [VAR] part in your replacement, then do  
a find for:
title="([^"])"
and in the replacement, use $1 for wherever you want each var to show  
up.
You'll probably also want to read this:
