Find/replace using wild cards to insert space between given characters
I want to insert a space between two patterns. For example, in a strech of the text "23445asde" I want to insert a space between number and text which should appear like "234445 asde".
I can find the junction of number and text by using wildcards find "[0-9][a-z]" but replacing with ""\1, \2" doesnt work. Where am I doing wrong? or what is the alternate way? |

Find/replace using wild cards to insert space between given characters
Hi,
[Word version?) I want to insert a space between two patterns. For example, in a strech of the text "23445asde" I want to insert a space between number and text which should appear like "234445 asde". I can find the junction of number and text by using wildcards find "[0-9][a-z]" but replacing with ""\1, \2" doesnt work. Where am I doing wrong? missing the brackets (). Find: ([0-9])([a-z]) Replace with: \2space\1 -- Cheers, Lisa |
