Hey Brian,

No problem. For the first space in the line I would do like what you did:

Find: (\d\d/\d\d)
Replace: $1

The last space GREP should work, (make sure you’re in GREP not Text, I just got the “Cannot Find Match” error pop up on me because I accidentally had it in Text) but I can give an alternate,

the original, which is finding anything between the end of the line and the last space in the line:
Find: `([^ ])$
Replace: $1

an alternate, being explicit about the digits and period:
Find : (\d+\.\d+)$
Replace: $1

Let me know if that works for you or if it’s still giving you issues.
