    Hi
    I have a xml file of which this is one of multiple nodes.

    <way>
      <tag k="name" v="Platform 1"/>
      <tag k="railway" v="platform"/>
    </way>
    

    Each has a ‘name’ line but with varying ‘v’ values.

    Ctrl D duplicates an individual line.
    I wish to perform that action on each ‘name’ line.

    I know how to bookmark each of those lines, but is there a way to duplicate those bookmarked lines?

    Is there an easier way to achieve my goal?

      Do a replacement operation:

      Find: (?-is)^.*?"name" v=".+\R
      Replace: $0$0
      Search mode: regular expression

        I should have added to my previous post:

        Forget the bookmarking idea entirely; it isn’t useful to the task at hand.
