GREP to add space in specific query

[defaults2aq0czkx4gl]

Hey there. I could use some help with a simple GREP I can use in Find/Replace to add a space after a an x, where it appears after a digit in a quantity. For example

2x 50L

should be 2 x 50L

Not worked out how to do it, I can of course use the wildcard option to find all (digit)x but can't replace them in that way as the digit varies. Thanks.

Hi @defaults2aq0czkx4gl you write: Find/Replace to add a space after a an x but your example seems that you want a space before the x.

Find what: (?<=\d)x

Replace: ~Sx

Please note that I advise you to use a nonbreaking (~S) space instead of a “regular” space (\s)

Perfect, thanks very much. Yes sorry, I meant a space before the x.
