Add grep/regex to Find and Replace feature
We really need some kind of grep or pattern matching in the Find and Replace dialogue.
I don't expect it to be InDesign-level functionality, but after all this time even rudimentary grep would be a blessing.
Maybe the Bridge regex could be adapted to Illustrator somehow...

No automatical way, how to automatically regular spaces with Non-breaking ones.

John, until this is added to Illustrator maybe one day, you can use this script here:
