I’m trying to use Notepad++ for the first time and wanted to see if anyone here had some solutions for me.
I have a document that looks like this:
ex 1
send power g1 g2 g3 g4
ex 2
send power g1 g2
ex 3
send power g1 f5 f3
ex 4
send f5 f2 t5
… and so on, with various combinations of words after ‘send’. I just need to add a line (" this is number `#’") after each ‘send’ line, with the # matching the ‘ex #’ number…so it would increase by 1 each time. The result would be:
ex 1
send power g1 g2 g3 g4
this is number `1'
ex 2
send power g1 g2
this is number `2'
ex 3
send power g1 f5 f3
this is number `3'
ex 4
send f5 f2 t5
this is number `4'
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
>Solution :
find:
ex (\d+)\s+^.*$
replace:
$0\r\nthis is number `$1`
searches for ex followed by a number followed by 1 or more spaces and/or line breaks followed by the entire next line
replaces with: $0 the entire thing it found, a newline, this is number, and the number after "ex"
