RegEx: Find comma not followed by space

[Maleko]

Hi folks. I am not sure if i need to use regex to do this. I am looking for a way to find for a comma sign which is not followed by space(s)

eg;

"menu_addblank(g_MainMenuID, 0,szMenuName,20)"

In this string, the first comma has space after it. So only the last 2 comma's will match

Please reply if you have any idea

Thanks

[Maleko]

Thanks all!

I would use RegEx myself. I would use the find string:

  \,[^ ]

comma followed by any character except a space.

Make sure the Regular Expression mode is selected otherwise it won't work.

Hey thanks that works! What about replacing those comma's with comma that has space?

"menu_addblank(g_MainMenuID, 0,szMenuName,20)"

to

"menu_addblank(g_MainMenuID, 0, szMenuName, 20)"

Find what: \,[^ ]
Replace with: ?

If you want to replace those commas WITHOUT a space with say an asterisk (*) then

  Find: \,[^ ]
Replace With: *_   (where underscore represents a space)

If you want to delete the comma then

  Find: \,[^ ]
Replace With: _    (where underscore represents a space)

This replaces the comma space with just a space.

If you want to make sure there's (only) one space character after _each_ comma, use this:

Find field:
,[ \t]*

There is no need to precede the comma by \.

Replace field:
, _ (without the underscore)

This, in effect, will add a space character after each comma, while not (re-)placing any other white space, be it (a) space character(s) that were already there or even tab characters.

Oops, I only saw half the question.

The answer is:

Find: \,([^ ])
Replace with: , \1     (comma, space, backslash one)

We'll have a description of regular expression operators in the Wiki shortly.
