Hey There,
Nicely done!
Here's another way to write that that makes it easy to read:

The word boundary markers you used didn't work for me. I had to switch to
"\b". When testing with \b punctuation seemed to mess up my test string. I

This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion
why do we care about word boundaries? and, marek did provide a
bbedit-specific solution above... which is the one i use all the time.
search for:

Hey Dj,
All shell scripts have to have a legitimate
Hello!
I'm trying to replace spaces between words so a sentence like this:
"this line has really messed upspacing"
