Search for a multiple variable number

Paul Carfau

Hello,
I need help to search a multiple variable text in a lots of lines.
For example, I have this part who is always in the same format:

/ xxx xxx xxx 255 /
/ xx x xxx 255 /

Or something like this, and i want to replace this by

/ 238 46 231 255 /

How can I do ?

Thanks for your help

(?=/.*255 /)(/.*255 /=?)

I take it the x in your example are digits and the empty space is really simply a single space character?

If so, then then searching for /\s\d{3}\s\d{3}\s\d{3}(?=\s255) and replacing with / 238 46 231 would work for your first example (set Regular expression mode).

For your second example, do another replacement and tweak the first one slightly. Hint: Substitute different numbers inside the { and }.

I just realized by rereading my post that I forgot a precision. Your answers are correct, but my case is more complex because my lines are in this form:

-38.2845993 41.9356995 -1.9463000 / 0.0000000 0.0000000 -1.0000000 / 0 0 0 255 / 0.0005000 0.4144570
-38.2499008 41.5647011 6.4520898 / 0.5073535 0.0000000 0.8617381 / 22 30 34 255 / 0.9995010 0.4144000

and I wish to change this way :

-38.2845993 41.9356995 -1.9463000 / 0.0000000 0.0000000 -1.0000000 / 238 46 231 255 / 0.0005000 0.4144570
-38.2499008 41.5647011 6.4520898 / 0.5073535 0.0000000 0.8617381 / 238 46 231 255 / 0.9995010 0.4144000

And I do not find a solution despite having spent time on the forums …

If the “precision” is just that the x’s can be “up-to” three digits, then use @Alan-Kilborn’s solution slightly modified:

\s\d{1,3}\s\d{1,3}\s\d{1,3}(?=\s255)

Cheers.
