Not sure if you want to catch She, she, He and he or if you want to catch She/he and she/he.

In the first case:
Find (?i)s?he

In the second case
Find (?i)she/he

in both cases, replace by They

Fyi : (?i) means case insensitive

Hope that helps
Vinny

ps: I suppose you’re aware that you might end up with cases such as “They’s fine”
