GREP search and replace

Hi,

 

I am wanting to do a GREP search and replace for: emspace, emspace, a letter, emspace, emspace

 

and replace it with the found letter.

 

Also some will be <?tpfmt=3>emspace, emspace, a letter, emspace, emspace<?tpb=12pt>

I am sure this is simple but I am still learning the basics.

 

Many thanks

Emma

    Thank you for your replies. I had manually stripped out the code before your replies. These codes you provided I will save so that I can adapt them when needed and will be extremely useful.

    Should the spaces really be eliminated completely? Or do you actually want to replace by [space] [found letter] [space]?
