Re: [WDSCI-L] Find/Replace question






Ron Power on 06/02/2007 01:56:27 PM:

Is it possible to do a find/replace where I want to find 2 characters of 

any type + a  "," and replace it with "x++,"?  Example
88,
89,
90,

replace all those with x++, using a wildcard for the two numbers and a 
comma?  Thanks,

Just to be clear - you want the string "x++", not the number incremented 
by one, right?

If so, this is a perfect example of why regular expressions (regexes) are 
sweet for find/replace.  Put "[0-9]{2}+," as your find string, and check 
the Regular expression checkbox.

HTH,
Adam

PS - for more details on regexes, press F1 in the Find text box.
