Hi
Example search string
(^.*)[x]{2,}(.*$)
This will match any sentence that contains more then one consecutive x
Look at the parenteses. Those are match placeholders
Example replace string
\1x\2
Will replace the found sentence with (^.*) linestart folowed by any character,
folowed by one x, folowed by any character and lineend.
HTH
Kind regards
Andy
Test input
I have xxxxxxxx apples
Test output
I have x apples
