Is it possible to remove first and last space in sentences in quotes like these:
The man said: " I don't know him. " But he was lying.
I want to remove the space that is in the beginning after the first quote mark (" I) and in the end before the second quote mark (him. ")? I can't use replacements like these: (" ) with (") and ( ") with (") because this will remove the spaces between the sentences.
Press Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog.
Click More >>.
Tick the check box "Use wildcards".
Enter the following in the Find what box: (" )(*)(. ")
Enter the following in the Replace with box: "\2."
Click Find Next, of if you're feeling adventurous, click Replace All.
If you don't like the result, you can undo it.
Best wishes, HansV
