      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,

      guy038

          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.

                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.

                        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

                            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?

                              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.

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

                                58fdc235-dae6-4e51-beba-5e5351f3f61f-image.png

                                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?

                                        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)

                                          @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,

                                          guy038
