Replace random values with 0

Raoul Emil

Hello. I want to search for this (in Notepad++)

env_factor : { x , y , z }

     Where x,y,z are random values/numbers
     And replace with this

env_factor : { 0 , 0 , 0 }

     An example

env_factor : { 0.5215321 , 0.11243 , 0.94 } to replace with
env_factor : { 0 , 0 , 0 }

     Thank you.

From the main menu, select Search | Replace… and fill in:

Find what: env_factor\s*:\s*\{\s*\d+(\.\d*)?\s*,\s*\d+(\.\d*)?\s*,\s*\d+(\.\d*)?\s*\}

Replace with: env_factor : { 0 , 0 , 0 }

Be sure the radio button Regular expression is selected and use the Replace All button.

This does not take into account numbers that might have minus signs or that might begin with a decimal point, without the leading zero. If you have numbers like that, replace the parts in the search like this:

\d+(\.\d*)?

with:

-?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)

to get:

env_factor\s*:\s*\{\s*-?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)\s*,\s*-?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)\s*,\s*-?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)\s*\}
