      Hi All,

      let say i have 3 files

      File 1 have Name_000111 
      File 2 have Name_000222
      File 2 have Name_000122
      

      I want to replace

      Name_000111 to Udin_000111
      Name_000222 to Asep_000222
      Name_000122 to Ipul_000122
      

      and also I have master file

      000111 = Udin
      000222 = Asep
      000122 = Ipul
      

      Does anyone know how to efficiently perform a mass replacement task? I need to execute this process across 3000 files daily, as I possess 3000 data entries in master files that require updating in each individual file.

      Note : I typically utilize Mail Merge in Excel; however, for this specific format, I need to use Notepad++ to carry out the replacement.

      Thanks in advance

        Mail Merge

        Notepad++ does not have a mail merge feature. Using a scripting plugin like PythonScript, it can be implemented. Just search this forum for mail merge or mailmerge and you should find an implementation provided.
