Totorial 3: simple Regular expression (regex) find replace in notepad++
Let's suppose I have 100s of lines similar to this { id: 'First Ack.', type: 'float'}, { id: 'Packets In', type: 'int'}, and I want to convert these lines in some format like : { id:'Packets In',field:'Packets In',type 'int'}, { id:'First Ack.',field:'First Ack.',type 'float'} To this in notepad++ (also in most editors) search for id: (.*), type: and replace with id:\1,field:\1,type and press replace all and you are done no matter how many rows.
