Regex: Add .dot at every 8 words
I need to put a dot after every 8 words. My regex is not so good:
SEARCH: ((\w+){8})
REPLACE BY: \1.
Solution 1:
- Ctrl+H
- Find what:
(?:\S+\s+){7}\S+\K - Replace with:
. - CHECK Wrap around
- CHECK Regular expression
- Replace all
Explanation:
(?: # non capture group
\S+ # 1 or more non space
\s+ # 1 or more spaces
){7} # end group, must appear 7 times
\S+ # 1 or more non space
\K # forget all we have seen until this position
