I got a text that ends on every single line with .|
And I need to replace the .| on every 5th line with .}
I did it with this code in search (((.|)*\s*\s*){5}) and replace $1.}
But that adds every 5th line a new line with .} on the beginning, but doesn't replace the .| on the end of the 5th.
And I can't figure out how to modify the code for my need!
Maybe some modification ideas for this code?
1.Put the cursor in front of the first letter of the whole text
2.Click "Start Recording"
3.Press Down Arrow 4 times
4.Press End once
5.Press Backspace once
6.Press } once
7.Press Right Arrow once
8.Click "Stop Recording"
10.Click "Run a Macro Multiple Times..."
11.Select "Run until the end of file"
12.Click "Run"
You can do it but looking for for matching lines and then a nother line that matches up to the point you want to replace.
With regex and wraparound checked and ". matches newline" not checked, searchign forward form start of file.
search:
((^.*\.\|\r\n){4}(^.*))\.\|\r\n
That 4 times form the start of a line match all characters including the .| at the EoL and alos match all the characters on the next line up to the .| at the EoL.
replace:
\1.}\r\n
Replace everything in the 1st capture group with itself followed by you new end of line sequence.
