plus is a wild card, so it will need to be escaped (\+)

Foo+Bar+Title

Search
Code:
(.+?)\+(.+?)
replace:
Code:
\1 \2
there is a space there
Save this search


Rather than finding the perfect code, just remove 1 + at a time
run the replace
Exit S+R

Your title should now be: Foo Bar+Title

Find the titles that still have 1 or more +

Repeat
