    I tried to use grep to change 100x20x20 mm to change into 100 x 20 x 20 mm

    But all I got is:

    Search
    (\d+)(x)(\d+)(x)(\d+)

    Replace by
    $1~4$2~4$3~4$4~4$5

    But I also want to use it when I’ve got two numbers (100×20) or even with mm or cm

    Change 10x2cm or 100x20mm
    Into 10 x 2 cm or 100 x 20 mm

    Can I do it in one grep or do I have to use two?

    I’ve found how to find mm or cm

    Search:
    (\d+)(x)(\d+)(x)(\d+).?(mm|cm)

    Replace by:
    $1~4$2~4$3~4$4~4$5~6$6

    I even expanded it with not to make a difference between uppercase or lowercase.

    (\d+)((?i)x)(\d+)((?i)x)(\d+).?((?i)mm|cm)

    If it could I like to change the uppercase into lowercase :)

    Hey Dimitri,

    You might try something like this to account for fewer or more numbers

    Find: (\d+)((?i)x|cm|mm)
    Replace: $1 $2

    Thanks for the smaller code, but it doesn’t do the job

    For example: 20x20x20cm and 10x30mm
    changes into 20 x20 x20 cm and 10 x30 mm

    And I changed the replace code by $1~s$2 because I don’t want to have regular spaces. I used non-breaking spaces
