In my file I have a lot of:
<WYYYYMMDD>
</WYYYYMMDD>
I want to find / replace them:
<Meeting Week=“WYYYYMMDD”>
</Meeting>
YYYYMMDD are dates, like 20220108.
Can I do this with Find Replace in Notepad++?
Example:
<W20220805>
</W20220805>
W never changes.
>Solution :
- Ctrl+H
- Find what:
<(W\d{8})>(\R)</\1> - Replace with:
<Meeting Week=“$1”>$2</meeting> - CHECK Match case
- CHECK Wrap around
- CHECK Regular expression
- Replace all
Explanation:
< # literally <
(W\d{8}) # group 1, W && 8 digits
> # literally >
(\R) # group 2, any kind of linebreak
</\1> # </ & backreference to group 1 & >
Replacement:
<Meeting Week=“$1”> # new tag with week value = content of group 1
$2 # same linebreak
</meeting> # end tag
