Searching for text with a non-breaking space

Hello ,

If I want to Find & Replace, how can I ask Find & Replace to search for something with a non-breaking space?

For example, 250_kg (_ being the non-breaking space) that needs to be replaced by 400 lb.

Use the dialogue box code for the non-breaking space, e.g. \<space>.

Hello.

I have similar problem. I have text where non breaking space is present and some where not.

So now I want to search for both of them.

Let's say I have text "L_2" and "L 2", where _ is non breaking space and the other one is normal space.

How I can search for both occurrences. I tried it in FrameMaker12 with regular expression, but then the "\ " is not working.

Search for L[ \ ]2

with Use Wildcards enabled.

Searching on L*2 or L?2 with Wildcards should also work, but doesn't, at least on FM7.
