That is a vailant attempt, WMS and I appreciate your time spent thinking about this problem.
Unfortunately, it seems that the NC editor automatically deletes that space at the end of the line anyways, so we still lose out. I did insert the enter after the space, but I think that this gets deleted too, because otherwise, we would see the lines of gcode double spaced.
I did manage to narrow the search and replace down to just two operations. I now use this as my Rapid line format:
{G}{X}} {G}{Y}} {G}{Z}}
This gives me this format:
/X1.2345} /Y1.2345} /Z1.2345}
or, if the Z was deleted
/X1.2345} /Y1.2345} /}
Thus, I can do a search and replace first for all instances of:
/}
and then for just the one brace
}
However, your idea has the best germ for a true fix, the developers would just need to allow one space to exist at the end of every line. Hopefully, they can get around my having to do this completely, though.
