@balancedcircular said: Hello. I have a file in which are certain elements with their names. As I want to change names, need the most efficient way to do it. It looks like this: Name=“109 B29/Web 3” There is about 1000 of these names, but I would like to select all cases under quotation marks that come after Name=, delete first 4 places, and instead of Web 3 put W3. So, Name=“109 B29/Web 3” should look like Name=“B29/W3”. Is it possible? Try this: First, make a backup copy of your file in case something goes wrong and you don’t notice it right away. Open the file in Notepad++. Select from the main menu Search | Replace. Fill in the dialog this way: Find what: Name="\d\d\d (.*/W)eb\h Replace with: Name="$1 Match case not checked Wrap around checked Search Mode: Regular expression . matches newline not checked then click Replace All. Examine carefully and see if that did what you wanted. If it didn’t, make a note of what went wrong, close the file without saving, and tell us what wasn’t right.
