Hello , Tino and Peter,
Congratulations to you, both ! Tino, for nicely exposing your wish and Peter for your full explanation, about the proposed regex :-)
An other S/R, using the \K syntax, could be :
Find what : ^.{20}\K.{10}
Replace with : 0000000000
Notes :
As soon as the first twenty characters of the current line are matched, the \K feature forces the regex engine to forget anything previously matched and reset the regex engine position !
So the final match is, only, the ten characters, located between the columns 21 and 30
… which is, simply, changed into the 0000000000 string :-)
Remark :
You must use the
Replace All button, only. The
step by step replacement, with the
Replace button, does
NOT work, when the
search regex contains a
\K form !
Best regards,
