Hello friends,

i want to convert all words in a string into singular

For example:
if i have a string: " she sells sea shells on the sea shores"
i want to convert it into:
" she sell sea shell on the sea shore"

Regards
Damian
 

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
This can never be fully covered…

i can use regexp to cover es and s ,
however i am facing a challenge if the word is horses- it changes it to a hors
i used e?s in pattern at the end of the word,

Any ideas?
