Search and Insert

[msharpe]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to search for a line with a specific string and then insert a new line after.

Searching for a line containing G87* (the following characters change in each file)and insert M32 on the next line.

Examples:

G87P123
becomes
G87P123
M32

G870-45
becomes
G870-45
M32

looks like the wild card (*) doesn't work in the standard find/replace field.

Anybody got any ideas how to do this ?

You can use regular expressions - Standard replace doesn't support wildcards.

RegEx:

Code: Select all

(G87.*$)

Replace:

Code: Select all

$1\r\nM32

Options:
Multi-line Anchors

Try it in the reg-ex tester. Remember to back up before replacing!
