#Regular expression not eol how to#
So if you’re typing, just type the characters for space and plus in the SEARCH dialog if you’d rather copy/paste, it’s probably better for the \x20 version.īTW: this is what was hinting at, suggesting that you could easily figure out how to use regular expressions to search for more than one space and convert it to a single space… because that’s about the simplest modifier ( +) in regular expressions. \x20 is a way of representing the space character that is easy to read/copy/paste from the forum I mention both for ease of use. REPLACE = \x20 (this could be a single space)

I just need to convert any 2 or more consecutive spaces foundįIND = \x20+ (this could be space-plus, +) Sorry to all if my collective posts have been a bit of a said in is there a REMOVE UNNECESSARY BLANK only (not EOL also)?: Hey, at least I’m trying to think outside the box! … where each pipe is incrementally higher # of spaces (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)…Īnd replace all of those with a single space…īut that only covers me through 10 consecutive spaces… I could create one of those pipe expressions like this (and put it into a macro): So, to answer your question, it could be either 2 spaces, or many spaces. ANd that includes between period and next character. It could be 2 spaces, or it could be 50 spaces. I just need to convert any 2 or more consecutive spaces found, into 1 space. So, no real leading or trailing space issues ever in my examples. Is there any kind of regex reference site that has an AI type search… where I could type in what I’m looking to do, and it takes me to ‘closest matches’? Can you hear my angst? Ha!Īnyway, to answer what Neil was asking… I’m only talking about text sentences. All my posts have come from work context… were I live and love my NP++. That’s when I’ll get a first chance to actually take a breath. But not likely to happen until early winter… like maybe Mid December, when we have our short shutdown period where i work. I do realize, given time, I could master pretty much every nook and cranny of regex. Life has been dealing me a whopper of a meal as of late. Have I had the time I really need to dedicate – to sitting down a few hours each day, with the regex walk-through sites, playing, toying, testing, tinkering? Getting better at it a little bit at a time? I guess shamefully, not even close. I’ll leave that step up to for your thoughtful and linear reply. This seems good for 2 blanks, but what about more than 2 together? Well, we adjust the process so that we:Īt this point I’d be happy with the process and I’d create the regex. look ahead and see if another exists, if so remove.So what would be the process in English, well: the actual “programming” is the very last step and if the “English” is logical the programming is generally achieved within a couple of tries. This particular question is one that a beginner should be able to figure out, but I will at least help out a bit.įor most questions I usually start of by writing (or thinking) in English what my steps would be. Looking back over your other posts I see you have asked quite a few questions and have been requested to start helping yourself by reading up on regular expressions. To do so that would require a feature request, which would need to be placed on github, more details on how to do so are here, in our FAQ section.īut to get back to the question in hand.

Your request is not an option using the built-ins, perhaps it could be. Well, you are right to ask as the “built-in” option will indeed do extraneous blanks and EOLs all in one swipe. If not that (gulp), then dare I ask for someone to toss me a regex line? Said in is there a REMOVE UNNECESSARY BLANK only (not EOL also)?:
