Find and replace double spaces with a single space?

[kingmustard]

e.g Track 01 Name
to Track 01 Name

Is this possible, as currently, pressing spacebar twice in the 'Replace' field does not detect the double-spaces in the filenames.

The forum software stripped the double-spacing from my example.

Hopefully this works (with ALT+0160):

e.g Track 01  Name
to Track 01 Name

Hi, double space does seem to work in Replace (3) as the standard Space (SP) code 20.
Maybe the file names contain other type of spaces , eg : https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/category/Zs ?

Sorry, you are correct!

It looks like a regex \s space will match most versions of a "space".

So something like,

3:Replace

Code: Select all

Match:  \regex\\s\s
With:  <sp> (an actual spacebar space)


might catch your non-space spaces.

Note that by default, the regex: is global (so it will match all double-spaces in a string).
