Hi,

 

I have to replace PQR  and -00(basically the number after hyphen ,  - 00 should alsoconsider if any spaces after hyphen  and before 00) to space.

address=  "7 12-00 ABC XYZ RD PQR BEACH QLD 1234".

 

I have used the below expression  to replace PQR with  space.

prxchange('s/\b(PQR)\b//i',-1,address).

 

Neeed help with how to replace -00(should alsoconsider any spaces between hyphen and 00)

Your need is unclear. Like this?

prxchange('s/\b(PQR|-\s*\d*)\b/ /i', -1, ADDRESS).
