      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.
