Totorial 3: simple Regular expression (regex) find replace in notepad++

By -


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.

Building a Better Future: Pathways Over Chariots

By -
Title: Introduction: Life is a journey we all embark on, a road that stretches far into the horizon. Along this journey, we may have different vehicles, metaphorical chariots if you will, that carry us forward. Some may ride in luxurious, gilded chariots, while others rely on more modest means. However, the truth is that the condition of the path we all travel on touches every one of us, regardless of our chariots. In this blog post, we will explore the idea that our primary focus should be on constructing superior pathways in life, rather than fixating on the material trappings of our chariots. Furthermore, it's an undeniable fact that the common man of today enjoys more facilities and conveniences than the kings of the last century. The Universal Road: Life is an equal opportunity journey.
