Help with MACRO

karipay · Post by **karipay** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 10:37 pm

Hi,

Is there a way i can create a MACRO to search for words and each word will be put it in a new line? Also, each word can repeat multiple times (> 100) and is placed randomly in the text file.

EX. Word1word2word3word4word5word6word2word1word6word99word......

I wanted the result to be like this.
word1
word2
word3
word4
word5
word6
word2
word1
word6
word99
word.....

Thanks in advance!

How do you define a word? Is it a non-empty sequence of letters, followed by a possibly empty sequence of digits?

IF so, this Search | Replace... (<F8>) will do it:

Find what: [a-z]+[0-9]*
Replace with: \0\n

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

You wrote

each word can repeat multiple times (> 100) and is placed randomly in the text file.

I don't know the significance of this.
