      Hi,

      I would like to replace the last tab in each paragraph with a right indent tab.

      Thanks in advance

      search for: \t$ and replace with ~y

      Thanks for the reply, but it doesn’t find anything because the last tab and the end of paragraph are not consecutive.

      The structure of the paragraphs is this one.

      Try this one:

      Find what: \t([^\t\r]+)$
      Change to: ~y$0

      Thanks Kai, but it adds the right indent tab before the last tab, without removing it.

      Haha, thats true, cause in $0 everything is saved and insert again. Choose $1 instead of $0. Does it work?

      \t(?=[^\t]*$)
      ~y

      Haha, Michel thanks. I tried this one and it won’t work in my case this morning. I assume, that I put the $ outside the parantheses.

      Thanks Kai and Michel, both solutions work.
