Find
\([tdpb]\)
replace with
\t\1\t

1. Check under Configure->Preferences->keyboard->Edit->EditCopyAppend that this is assigned to Ctrl+Shift+C if not assign it. 2. Search for /[^-]*- (Regular expression) 3. Close (Find dialogue) 4. Copy (to clipboard) 5. Macro->Record 6. Ctrl-F (Find next) 7. Ctrl+Shift+C (copy append) 8. Macro->stop...

What you need is ExamDiff Pro. It's an excellent program that does exactly what you want. It is modestly-priced shareware with (I think) a 30-day free trial. It is extremely stable (bug-free) and can be obtained from http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_examdiffpro I use it all the time in conj...

I guess it just means that there are no lines with no |s in them

In this particular case search for \n\([^|]+\)$ and replace all with \1 (reg exp of course) would be a start. (this will append all lines with no "|" to the previous line) then search for \n\([^|]*|[^|]*\)$ replace with \1 (this will append all lines with one "|" to the previous ...

1. Can you post a sample of the text before and after it has been fixed? 2. Is the order of the records important? 3. On a "good" record, are there exactly 2 | dividers? 4. On a "good"record, does the line end with a |? A possible solution (depending on the above replies) is to i...

Has that answered you?
What do the dots following the TABs mean?
Try:
Find:
^\([^\t]+\t[^\t]+\t[^(]*\)(123)
Rep
\1QL\t(123)

The stuff I posted was for use AFTER capitalization.

Try find
\<m\(a\{0,1\}\)c *\([a-z]\)
Replace with
M\l\1c \u\2

That'll put a space after Mc or Mac or Mc<space> of Mac<space>

Well, why didn't you say earlier...
After your capitalizing trick, find:
\<m\(a\{0,1\}\)c\([a-z]\)
and replace with
M\l\1c\u\2
(Regexp, no Match Case)

Is there really anyone with a first name of Mac? or - Do you really want to change MacArthur to Mac Arthur? We can arrange that if you wamt.

You're not telling us the whole story here are you? Your 2 examples seem to be doing different things. Now, if all you want to do is replace MCPETERSON MCCARTHY MAC PHERSON MAC ARTHUR with MC PETERSON MC CARTHY MACPHERSON MACARTHUR then find all: ^MC\([^ ]\) replace with MC \1 then find all: ^MAC re...

Hi Skye
What you need is
\([.]\|,\)\n\([^T][^h][^i][^s]\)
and when you replace use \2 to replace the text that is not "This" - an example of "before and after" from you would be helpful in giving a solution

Well, that's a different eror string from before, so try
^\(..[^:]+\):\([0-9]+\):.*$

File 1
Line 2

C:/My Documents/Edu/test.c:2:2: warning: no newline at end of file (i guess that should be \ not / - but it makes no difference) If this is your error message, then your regular expression needs to change to ^\(..[^:]+\):\([0-9]+\):\([0-9]+\).*$ with file 1 line 2 and column 3 then double click on ...

oops! You're right Andreas

It sounds like you need a word-processor not a text editor but, seeing as you ask, do a find and "replace all"
Search for
\n[^\t]
Replace with
\n\t
with "Regular Expression" box ticked
Go to the start of the file (Ctrl-Home) and put a tab there if there is not one.
