I would like to create an automate search for absence of non-breaking spaces in target: e.g. “Software -[nbsp] 1.0”.
I need to ensure that there is a non-breaking space between software name and version in target, so I would like to search for hits where it is absent.
However, I did not figure out who to make Xbench differentiate between non-breaking spaces and normal whitespace.
\x00a0 stands for non-breaking space (hexadecimal code).
Note that you should replace Software with the actual program name and that the dot (.) in the version number must be escaped with a backslash (\). If not, the dot means any character in Regex.
With these search settings, Xbench will display all segments that contain Software + whitespace + VersionNumber in the source text and do not have Software + non-breaking space + VersionNumber in target.
