Working with bookmark lines

[JasonGH]

Hi,

How can I just simply search and replace on bookmarked lines only, ignoring the rest in a text file?

Thanks

Unfortunately you can't do that. But perhaps you can achieve the same thing using a regex. Can you provide details?

Ben, as a longtime low priority goal: could "bookmarked lines" be a new search/replace scope? I'd use this to simulate multiple text selections instead of only having one.

That's a question for Helios. I'm only an end user.

Then I misjudged you for a longer time.

I found Ability to limit Find/Replace scope to bookmarked lines from 2003-10-26 - if it hasn't been implemented in ~18 years I'm somewhat pessimistic it will ever be.

Here is the example:

þHeadersþ
þ1þ^þxxxxxxx....
þ2þ1þ^þxxxxxxx....
þxdsfdfd
kalfjadfodl
þ3þ^þxxxxxxx....
þdfdfdsfsdfds
dfasdfdsfsdfds
þ4þ^þxxxxxxx....
....
....

a DAT file with thousands of lines (records) starting from 1 to....Headers can be up to 100 fields separated by þ^þ. Each record should start with þ and a number. For some reasons, some of the field values shifted down extra lines. I want to bring them up. End result should be like this:

þHeadersþ
þ1þ^þxxxxxxx....
þ2þ1þ^þxxxxxxx....
þ3þ^þxxxxxxx....
þ4þ^þxxxxxxx....

Thank you,
