It seems the forum won't let me post the text I need to. Anyway I can get an email address or get the text posted somewhere so I can get help? Thanks

If you send the text to software AT digitalvolcano.co.uk I'll try and post it.

L1: {
L2: version
L3: {
L4: number 6
L5: }
L6: prop ADS_cannon
L7: {
L8: storageOffset 0 0 0
L9: objFileGeom 0 0 :Runtime:Geometries:ADS_Pirate_Props: .obj

RegEx - (prop )(.*)([\s,\S]*)(.obj)
Replace - $1$2$3$2$4

This will take the prop value (ads_cannon) and put it at the end. Minor problem with it adding a newline before the final .obj though

Thanks! I got your email too. I will try this and let you know what happens.

This works great. It would be perfect if I could get rid of that hard return so the file extension .OBJ would be intact with the filename.

Thanks again!
