Hello @ziio-jeepers and All,

Not very difficult with regular expressions !

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )
SEARCH (?-s)^(.+?)\*(.+?)\*.+\*
REPLACE msgctxt\x20"\1"\r\nmsgid\x20"\2"\r\nmsgstr\x20""\r\n
( or msgctxt\x20"\1"\nmsgid\x20"\2"\nmsgstr\x20""\n, if you’re using Unix-like file )
Tick the Wrap around option
Select the Regular expression search mode
Click on the Replace All button

Et Voilà !

Best Regards,
