Greetings,
I just recieved a lyx file from a friend who has written numbers in standard text. Now the trick is that I want to put in a single space after every (.), but the find and replace method of finding (.) and replacing by (. ) does not work, as it makes numbers which were (12.12) to (12. 12).
The question is hence, is there a way of placing a single space after a full stop?
Or is there a wildcard i can use while searching, to specify numbers? line in linux's [0-9] wildcard.
Regards,
TBA
LyX ⇒ decimal points and full stops
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Go to Edit > Find & Replace (Advanced). With the cursor in the "Find" field, go to Insert > Insert Regular Expression > Any Number.
It will likely be very slow, but it should work.
