Replace space in Regex

[Mars 0]

Hello all,

 

I try to replace the space only in Regex to ":"

 

Example:

Here is the whole sentence:

{top rated|major} {ten|10} kids Halloween costume

 

I would like it to be:

{top:rated|major} {ten|10} kids Halloween costume

 

I use find regular expression ({[a-zA-Z|].+})to select the sentence from the article

{top rated|major} {ten|10}

 

But, dont know how to just replace the space to ":" in the selection and then put it back to the original article.

 

The attachment is the ubot4 file I test.

Please help. Thanks a lot.

It may be difficult. Do you want to replace all spaces within {}'s? Or just the one instance? Or just when it's between 'top' and 'rated'?

Use this regex string \s for spaces then replace it with : in replace regex expression.

Use this regex string \s for spaces then replace it with : in replace regex expression.

 

How do I only select the spaces within { }?

I try to use \s but it selects all spaces in the article.

And, I cannot find the way to only select the spaces within { and }.

Thanks.

I would just use the replace command rather than regex...
