Can't replace space with no-break space with my function since 5.23

[jiembe]

I had a function for replacing some spaces with no-break spaces looking like this snippet:

return match.group().replace(' ;', ' ;')

where: left a normal space, right a no-break space

but now I don't get any changes with version 5.23 (I didn't try 5.22).

What's change in Calibre and how can it make working?

There werent any changes to the editor search replace in 5.23, what version did you update from and post the full function

From 5.21.

def replace(match, number, file_name, metadata, dictionaries, data, functions, *args, **kwargs):

return match.group().replace(' ?','*?').replace(' !','*!').replace(' ;','*;').replace(' :','*:').replace(' »','*»').replace('« ','«*')

(This present editor change the no-break space with an * as you can see)

the search string is <.*?>

I'm confused are you saying the function definition has changed?

I tried creating a function that replaces spaces with nbsps and it works fine for me.

Sorry I was unclear. The message editor of the present forum change the no-break space in my example to *. The real function is still composed of some no-break space.

Just forget all. It was my search string which was wrong.
