Is this what you're looking for? It works fine for me. I also tested here: https://regex101.com/r/wWCCCJ/1
include std/regex.e regex pattern = regex:new( `\s+(\s+)` ) sequence string = " 0.013AUD 0.00% 0.000AUD Sell 42 1 4.379MAUD - -0.00AUD - Energy Minerals\n" sequence result = regex:find_replace_limit( pattern, string, `~\1`, 20 ) ? equal( result, "~ 0.013AUD~ 0.00%~ 0.000AUD~ Sell~ 42~ 1~ 4.379MAUD~ -~ -0.00AUD~ -~ Energy Minerals\n" ) -- prints 1, strings are equal
PS: Use the "raw" backtick strings when writing regular expressions to avoid escaping backslashes and help prevent errors.
PPS: Use the {{{ and }}} blocks when you want to format raw plain text in forum posts. I've edited them in for you above.
