 |
|
Hi,
I am trying to make a hotstring to automatically replace a period by a period with two spaces. Eg I want to change this.{Space}How? Becomes I want to change this.{Space}{Space}How?
(old school reporting format I have to use). Since "." is an ending character I am having trouble working out how to do this. I tried:
| Code: | | ::*.::. ` ;enter two spaces after full stop |
But it did not work. Any ideas?
Regards,
Murray |

Well since SPACE is an escape character, why not just do this:
And use SPACE as your escape character which will in effect go {.}{SPACE}{SPACE}? Yeah it adds a a keystroke but it will most likely avoid confusion in other places where you need a period but not the hotstring. |
