Paste every "say 37th line" apx..

[Carolina Number 1]

I know this is strange but trying to figure out how to do this about 342 times…lol…
I want to paste this…sound = “sound” ; sound folder

Note the location of this line is after or just under this line: isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes

If i counted it about 37 lines below to next instance or can it just be inserted automatically after/under this line every time it appears in document? isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes There are 342 instances of this and it would kill me to add this 342x…lol…any ideas…

Here’s what it would look like:

Ithe sound line needs to go just under the line above it 342 times…yikes… Hope you’re not lost… Thank you so much for any help!!

Hello, @carolina-number-1 and All,

If I understand you properly, you would like to insert the line sound = "sound" ; sound folder right after each line isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes of the current file !

I assume, too, that the desired replacement is the string sound = "sound" ; sound folder and NOT the string sound = “sound” ; sound folder

In this case, I suppose that this regex S/R should work nice :

SEARCH (?-i)isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes\R\K

REPLACE sound = "sound" ; sound folder\r\n    ( OR sound = "sound" ; sound folder\n if UNIX files )

Notes :

• Tick the Wrap around option

• Use the Regular expression search mode

• Click, exclusively on the Replace All button

• After searching for the line isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes, respecting the case (?-i) and its line-ending characters \R, the \K feature resets the search and simply matches the zero-length location, right after this line

• Then, the replacement string sound = "sound" ; sound folder is just added with its line-ending characters \r\n

Best Regards,

OMG…Fantastic…reading this and figuring how to do this…

@Carolina-Number-1

The key part seems to be needing to know the way to insert a line-break.
I’m not much for Extended search mode, but I think you could use it here to do what you want… you would use \r\n in your replacement string where you wanted a line-break.
It’s a little bit simpler to figure out than regular expressions, so that’s why I’m mentioning it.

[Carolina Number 1]

In the “Replace All”…don’t see a “exclusively”,

Thanks so far, BobM.

LOL. Guy is French so sometimes his wording is “interesting”. :-)
(In general though, his English is very good, indeed)

Click, exclusively on the Replace All button

What is meant here is that you can’t use the Replace button for this action; you have to use Replace All to perform the replacement.

[Carolina Number 1]

ok…so just click on Replace All…there is no tick for exclusively, right lol

ok so search for isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes…so far so good lol

[Carolina Number 1]

@Carolina-Number-1

not sure about what of this goes in the search line?
After searching for the line isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes, respecting the case (?-i) and its line-ending characters \R, the \K feature resets the search and simply matches the zero-length location, right after this line

once i get the hang of this…then i have maybe 100 more airplanes …lol

@Carolina-Number-1

So, when @guy038 said:

SEARCH (?-i)isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes\R\K

REPLACE sound = “sound” ; sound folder\r\n ( OR sound = “sound” ; sound folder\n if UNIX files )

He meant for “SEARCH” that you would put this in the box labeled Find what:

And correspondingly, “REPLACE” means look for the Replace with box.

Does that help?

[Carolina Number 1]

@Alan-Kilborn

yeah…I think I lost my “isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes” because it replaced it with the sound stuff…lol but it added sound i think 736 times…so rather than replace that line…insert the sound line below it…this was on a trial cfg not the real one yet till i get this down.

[Alan Kilborn]

@Carolina-Number-1

But, because you’re an admitted noob, why not do a simpler-to-understand Extended mode replacement, like this:

Notice:

• the Search mode has been set to Extended – this allows you to do fancy things (over and above what a Normal search allows) like specify multiple lines in your data (here you are replacing one-line with two (the original plus a new one).

• the \r\n in the Replace with data is what creates a second line in your data; it is the “dividing point” between two lines

Is this easier to see/understand?

Hey Thanks All!!!

You are great!!!

I am 70 and a tad slow but getting it, i think lol

[Carolina Number 1]

@guy038
t seems now its just stopped replacing…say no occurences were replaced …etc

Thank you,

If I need to change this: isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes to this:

isUserSelectable = 0 ; (on the end of search line after 0 ; \R\K

and still replace with:

sound = “sound” ; sound folder (sound = “sound” ; sound folder\r\n)

[guy038]

@carolina-number-1,

Your last post isn’t quite clear but I guess you would like to add the line sound = "sound" ; sound folder right after each line beginning with isuserselectable = 0, whatever the contents of a possible comment area, coming next the colon character

If so, change the search regex, only, as :

SEARCH (?-si)isuserselectable = 0.*\R\K

• The (?-s) part means that any dot meta-character matches a single standard character

• The .* syntax, before the \R , represents the area, possibly empty, of standard character(s), after the string = 0 and before the EOL chars

I advice you to get documentation on the regex world, in this FAQ

Best regards,
