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.
