Replace different values with one value

[CovertRaptor90]

I have done a quick google search but I am still struggling to find what I am looking for.

I am editing the XML file for a game(this is freemode so it is just for fun) where the driving skills of the characters are displayed as below.

<drivingSkill>0.8754684168</drivingSkill>
<drivingSkill>0.6954855478</drivingSkill>
<drivingSkill>0.5321546751</drivingSkill>

How can I search and replace so that, in one movement, they all change to the below?

<drivingSkill>1</drivingSkill>
<drivingSkill>1</drivingSkill>
<drivingSkill>1</drivingSkill>

I will add that they are not together as above, but spread throughout the XML document.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello, @Covertraptor90,

Very easy, Indeed !

• Move to the very beginning of your file ( Ctrl + Origin )

• Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

• Paste or type the following regex search <drivingSkill>\d\.\d+</drivingSkill>, in the Find what: zone

• Paste or type the following replacement text <drivingSkill>1</drivingSkill>, in the Replace with: zone

• Select the Regular expression search mode

• Click on the Replace All button

Et voilà !

Notes :

• The syntax \d matches any single digit, from 0 to 9

• The escaped dot \. stands for the decimal dot character. It must be escaped because dot is, normally, a special regex character !

• The syntax \d+, identical to \d{1,}, matches any non empty range of consecutive digits

• Everything else is just text, which matches itself, in, both, search and replacement !

Best Regards,
