advanced find and replace

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Hello,

I have a manuscript in which I used quite often a thin space between
numbers and units (e.g. 24 h).
However, after converting it to pdf on the publishers side it
occasionally disappears. Now I wanted to replace it with a normal space.
I tried to use the advanced find and replace but don't no how to
indicate a normal space. Just typing it does not help. Any suggestions?

I have not tried Advanced S&R, but if you want to replace all
unconditionally, you can also do some global redefinition:

\renewcommand\thinspace{ }


should do.

OTOH I am surprised that the thinspace "disappears" in PDF.

Good idea. Thanks, Jürgen.

Yes, me too, but this occurs not always. Don't know what the publisher
did, perhaps cut and paste, whereby I also have seen this happening.
