three-digits format in replaced form

[yavien]

Hi all,

I try to replacing/adding nummeration in my text.

for expample:

Code: Select all

Find what: {text} 
Replace with: \i&

[X] Regular expression

Will give me:
1{text}
2{text}
...
10{text}
11{text}
...
134{text} etc.

BUT, I want to have nummering with three-digits numbers, like:
001{text}
002{text}
...
010{text}
011{text}
...
134{text} etc.

Is any tip for it?

Thanks for advance

I'm sure WildEdit could do it (he says with a wink).

Try this:

- Search for all {text} literals and Mark All
- Edit -> Copy Other -> Bookmarked lines
- Paste into a new document
- Take the word wrap off the new document, if it's not already off, using Ctrl+Q, W
- Configure -> Block Select Mode
- Select all of column 1
- Edit -> Fill Block...
- In the Fill Selected Block dialog box, select "With numbers from:"
- Read the rest of the dialog box and make further appropriate selections, such as "Format: Leading zeros"

Does this give you what you need?

Or

Find what: {text}
Replace with: \i(1001)&

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

Then

Find what: ^1
Replace with: [nothing]

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

The second tip is more usefull for me (and it is very clever!). In my file are another lines with another text.

We TextPad users are here to help and to share what we've discovered, because we know that the more others enjoy the program, the more support TextPad will receive, and of course the happier we will be to know that our favorite program will remain strong and well-supported.

Ironically, through my involvement with this particular post, I learned something important regarding \i(1001)& (courtesy of ben_josephs) that I did not know--something that could benefit well my own work.

I thank you, too.
