Find & replace with [! ]

[Le Nordiste]

Hi from Meudon (suburb of PARIS FRANCE EUROPE)

I want to find & replace using [!] but i can succeed why?

In a .doc i want to replace ",space" by ",^l^t"
and the "," (, alone) by ",^l

I use a joker (=wildcard) to tag the first case : #
so after the first pass i get #,#,
then i want to replace the solitar comma by a search on [!#],[!#] but
unsuccesfuly!

Why ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Le Nordiste,

have you set "Use Wildcards" to true?

But you don't need it anyway.

In a .doc i want to replace ",space" by ",^l^t"
and the "," (, alone) by ",^l

Replace ",space" by ",^l^t"
Replace "," by ",^l"
Replace ",^l^l" by ",^l"
