Selecting the last word of a line

[Francisco Hirsch]

I have a file with several lines of text.

How can I select the last word of the line and inserting a tab in front of it?

Thanks in advance,

Francisco

It’s a little hairy, but this seems to work:

Find: ((?:.|\n)*\W)(\w+)
Replace: \1\t\2

Hope this helps.

Open the Find dialog and enter the following patterns and do a replace all. This finds one or more non-whitespace characters \S+ at the end of a line $ and replaces them with a tab \t and the found text \1.

Find: (\S+)$

Replace: \t\1

Also the following variant replaces the white space \s+ in front of the word with the tab so you don't end up with any extra spaces and it works better if there already is a tab before the final word.

Find: \s+(\S+)$

Replace: \t\1

Hope this helps,
