Default Replacing spaces with underscore for specific expressions

Andreas,

insufficient data.
To find an optimal solution you should provide more data.
- is the space *always* in the fifth position? If it is,
* *should it always be replaced?
- should a space surrounded by numbers *always* be replaced?
Please define your criteria better.

Dear Experts:


I got numbers in column C with the following Synthax (xxxxSpacexxx),
e.g.


0250 434 or
0748 314


All these expressions are located in Column C and the 'Space' should
be replaced with an 'Underscore'.
After the replacement the expressions should look like this: 0250_434
or 0748_314


Please note: There are other expressions in cells of column C, such as
192344 / 134374. But those spaces should not be replaced with the
underscore character.


I would like to run a macro for this problem.


Thank you very much in advance for your professional help.

Hi Helmut

thank you very much for your swift response.

ok, you are right on second thoughts.

-The space could occurr on the 4th or 6h position of this expression
as well
- If the string/expression in a cell contains a backslash such as
'192344 / 134374', the cell is to be skipped
