      #EXT392,
      https://blgahsa
      #EXT9161,
      https://agglo

        Hi @namx3249,

        a simple way I can think of:
        Find: ^https.*\K
        Replace with: 66666

        \K resets the starting point of the reported match, then you can just type the appended text in the Replace field.

        The setting . matches newline in the Replace dialog is unchecked.

            Note that \K is only going to work if you’re doing a Replace All.
            It won’t work with a step-by-step Replace.
