Hi There,

In the text I have to corrrect, I use to have no space between number and letter. For example, I have "48hours", and I need to correct it for "48 hours". All the text is like that.

Is there a quick Find and replace, or a VBA code which could help me to automatically add a space between a number and a letter?




Thanks!

As per your example:

In Find type: ([0-9]@)(h)
in Replace type: \1 \2
Note that there is a single space just after the 1.
Click More>> and check Use wildcards
Click Replace All
It means:
Find one or more number ([0-9]@) followed by a lowercase h (h)
Replace with: same first element found (the numbers) \1 add a space " " then same second element found (the h) \2

***Never do testing on original files*** unless you can do an Undo .

Unfortunately, I did exactly what you explained, and I get 0 result found...

I don't know if it's changing something, but I don't need to search for a lowercase just after a number. So even though it's written:
48hours = I need to change it for 48 hours
250lbs = 250 lbs
100FT = 100 FT
150F = 150 F

Change your Find like this:

([0-9]@)([a-z,A-Z])

Yes! It's working! It's exactly what I was looking for!!

Thanks rollis13 !!!!

Glad having been of some help .
