Erase the Space Before a Decimal and Add a Comma

[Marie Palmquist]

Hi!

I have the following line repeated in different variations in a document:

009084, Ind - 34007 630.00

I would like to add a comma and erase the space between 34007 and 630.00. The decimal number changes all over the document, so I after some research I found that (\d+.\d{1,2})\d* finds every single decimal number in my document.

I am struggling with what to write on the replace field in order to erase the space between both numbers and place a comma.

I truly appreciate any help you guys might be able to provide :)

Hi @Marie-Palmquist

If I understood the problem correctly, you want to replace the space between two those numbers with a comma. If this is the case, you could apply the following S/R regex:

Search: (?-s)\d+,\sInd\s-\s\K(\d+)\s([\d.]+)
Replace: $1,$2

Put the caret at the very beginning of the document, select just the Regular Expressions mode and click on Replace All.

Given the following data

009084, Ind - 34007 630.00
009084, Ind - 45632 123.98
009084, Ind - 98764 334.83

you will get this output:

009084, Ind - 34007,630.00
009084, Ind - 45632,123.98
009084, Ind - 98764,334.83

Hope this helps

@Marie-Palmquist I found the solution!

In the replace field I added ,/n
