I'm thinking that he actually want - (dashes).
In which case:
3:Replace
- Code: Select all
Replace: <space> (physical, not the word)
With: -
Now that also messes up with the existing <sp>dash<sp>, causing additional dashes.
- Code: Select all
Copy of 1-1-4501 aka the NON date - - BLOWS UP xxx
Copy-of-1-1-4501-aka-the-NON-date------BLOWS-UP-xxx
Though if there is only 1 such instance in his words, he can come right back with:
- Code: Select all
Replace: ---
With: <space>-<space>
