<![CDATA[Replace a special character]]>Hi,
I´m using this [^\x00-\x7F]+ to find the “no ASCII” characters and then replace them with a space. But when it finds 2 or more “no ASCII” characters together, it only replaces one space for all the characters that are together.
Example:
FIND: “ASASÉÉSSS”
REPLACE: “ASAS SSS”

And I need like this: “ASAS SSS” (two spaces)

Any help ?.
Thanks.

dosn’t it help to replace the + mulitplier with a question mark?
Like [^\x00-\x7F]?
