i want to replace remove/replace every whitespace in a string which is not after a comma.
I already searched for a suitable regex but i did not find one.
Here is a sample of the strings i want to modify:
{id=565189.0, server=Ealyn, merchantName=Nox, activeMerchants=[{id=f01b617d-2dc7-4597-2297-08dabad9a125, name=Nox, zone=Nebel horn, card={name=Bergstrom, rarity=2.0}, rapport={name=Energy X7 Capsule, rarity=3.0}, votes=0.0}]}
should change to (_ trough replace)
{id=565189.0, server=Ealyn, merchantName=Nox, activeMerchants=[{id=f01b617d-2dc7-4597-2297-08dabad9a125, name=Nox, zone=Nebel_horn, card={name=Bergstrom, rarity=2.0}, rapport={name=Energy_X7_Capsule, rarity=3.0}, votes=0.0}]}
Can someone with a high knowledge then me over regular expression’s create one for this case?
Thanks in advance
I already tried this expression:
(^|[^,])\\s+
.. but it always removed a character with the whitespace
>Solution :
This can be accomplished using a negative lookbehind:
(?<!,)\\s+
The Output:
{id=565189.0, server=Ealyn, merchantName=Nox, activeMerchants=[{id=f01b617d-2dc7-4597-2297-08dabad9a125, name=Nox, zone=Nebel_horn, card={name=Bergstrom, rarity=2.0}, rapport={name=Energy_X7_Capsule, rarity=3.0}, votes=0.0}]}
