Notepad++ dynamic "replace with"

Advertisements

I want to replace found result (with regular expression) by a dynamic space count.

This will be found by: (XY\w.*_\d\d )(\w.*)

XY_bbb_11 PT
XY_brtztsd_34 KJH
XY_bghg_44 LOP

Expected result:

XY_bbb_11       PT
XY_brtztsd_34   KJH
XY_bghg_44      LOP

Is it possible in Notepad++?
