    Hello,
    I would like to find a single digit of 0 within a table, to replace with an en-dash. In my searching I have not yet come across a way to do this.. and it seems like something that would be incredibly simple. I’m able to find (0) but things start to get complicated when trying to find the single digit. I have used negative look ahead/behind but, so far, I’m either not getting any results or the search is picking up 0.9’s or 12.0’s… which I don’t want.

    I tried the following
    (?<!.)0(?!.)

    But, again, it picked up nothing. Would someone be able to assist?

    Thanks,

    Not sure if this will find everything by try:

    \W\K0(?!\w)

    A. A. Ron, thanks for your reply.

    Your suggestion pulls up the solo 0’s, but also 0’s with periods before and after. (For example: 0.9, 100.0, etc.)
    Would you know of a way to get the solitary 0’s only?

    Thanks again,

      In your (?<!.)0(?!.) the dot stands for ‘everything’. Try (?<!\.)0(?!\.) and see what happens. If there are more exclusions, do them as classes, as in (?<![\.,(])0(?![\.,)])

    If it’s just a “0” and nothing else within a table cell, you could use
    ^0$
    or
    \A0\Z

    Cheers
