Try this:
===
FIND:
(?:^2 PLAC(?: \d+) \K(\w+)(\h\w+)(\h\w+)(?=\h\w+$))|(?:^2 PLAC(?: \d+)
\K(\w+)(\h\w+)(\h\w+)(\h\w+)(?=\h\w+$))
CHANGE TO: \1,\2,\3,\4
===
That should ignore the first number and handle groups of either 3 or 4
words afterwards. It could be further modified if longer groups are
possible.
It doesn't handle street names in the most intelligent way, as it will
put a comma after the street name. And if any words had punctuation in
them (like "St.", or a hyphen), that would require further modification.

Hi Kaveh
I'm not sure that that would solve it.
It first needs to find the lines beginning with "2 PLAC " and act only
on those lines.
Replacing "2 PLAC " with something else would give the same issue, it
would have to find only those lines beginning with our substitute label.
Many thanks for your help.
Think I'll put it on the back burner for now.
Regards
Dave

Ah, I thought all lines had that.
Then you could replace "2 PLAC " (with space) with a unique
string, e.g. ●, and at the end replace ● by "2 PLAC "
Not sure that would solve it.

Hi Kaveh
Sorry about the delay in replying, had to go out.
I’m a bit confused as to how the 2 PLAC can be put back to
correct line
Not every line in the file begins with 2 PLAC

BTW to replace
2 PLAC
at start of lines when replacements have been done, replace:
"^" -- start of line
with
"2 PLAC "

Simplest might be first to remove all "2 PLAC "
Then replace
"(?<!(?:[0-9]))"
with
", "
So replace any space not preceded by a digit to a
comma space.
Would that work?

Hi Kaveh
No problem, 3 examples of before and after
2 PLAC 129 Haymarket London England
2 PLAC 129 Haymarket, London, England /[Ideal
answer because space between '129' and 'Haymarket'
is skipped, but not essential]/
2 PLAC 24 Long Street Chester Cheshire
2 PLAC 24, Long, Street, Chester, Cheshire
2 PLAC Meadows, Lowestoft, England
2 PLAC Meadows Lowestoft England
Thanks

Hi Dave
Could you give several examples of before,
then the same ones after?

Hi, I'm a novice at this sort of thing.
I have a line of text:-
/2 PLAC 11 Haymarket Willenhall Staffordshire/
I want to replace the spaces with ,
[comma space] after the first part of the
line [2 PLAC ]
^(2 PLAC ) finds me the start
Now I want to replace the spaces with
comma space:-
/2 PLAC 11, Haymarket, Willenhall,
Staffordshire/
[It would be brilliant if it were possible
to skip the first space between 11 and
Haymarket]
/

Many thanks for your help
