      I want to add a comma before the 2nd last time in each line of text in notepad ++, heres an example if what I mean : house, Road, westworld, Co. London H509 50565

      so I want to add the comma after London, to make it appear like this: house, Road, westworld, Co. London, H509 50565

      thanks!

        Are you able to confirm that the last piece “H509 50565” exists on all lines. Obviously not those exact characters, but that there are 2 words (a word here is defined as a string of non-blank characters) that need separating by adding the comma on every line. Without that assumption is might be difficult to decide where to place the comma.

            So that being true, try this.
            Replace function:
            Find What:^(.+)((\h\w+){2})$
            Replace With:\1,\2

            See if that works for you.
