I want to add a new line before a date and the dates change so I use . to match 28/06/2023 -> ../../2023.
I would like to still get \n28/06/2023 in the end result.
So my question is if you in Notepad++ can use the found text in the replacement text when using regex?
Or if it is possible not to replace and just add a new line before the date?
>Solution :
Use capture group:
- Find what:
\d\d/\d\d/2023 - Replace with:
\n$0
Where $0 contains the whole match.
Another way is to use lookahead:
- Find what:
(?=\d\d/\d\d/2023) - Replace with:
\n
