S.Isaac pointed out that I'd misread the original post. I thought he wanted to remove them, not replace them. That makes this just a wee bit harder. :-)
Since what he's wanting to do is apparently average them, I'd write the summation loop manually and track the last non-zero value to use in case of zeros. I'm not sure what he'd want to do with a leading zero, but that's a whole new bag'o'worms. --Ben Michael Dinowitz wrote: > Ben, > I've tried this a few ways and I can't find any way to do a single run RegEx > which will do the job.
