Help with editing a file

JBlack788

Hello, I am working on something and I need to be able to turn a file like this:
Banana
Apple
Mango
Pear

Into this:
Banana-Banana
Banana-Banana1
Banana-Banana2
Banana-Banana3
Banana-Banana123
Apple-Apple
Apple-Apple1
Apple-Apple2
(continuing down)

You get the point. Anyways, is there any way to do this in notepad++? A script or plugin I could download? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well it depends on how complex it goes.
given
Banana
Apple
Mango
Pear

and using regular expressions like

find what: ^(.+)$
replace with: \1-\1\r\n\1-\11\r\n\1-\12\r\n\1-\13\r\n\1-\1123

would result in

Banana-Banana
Banana-Banana1
Banana-Banana2
Banana-Banana3
Banana-Banana123
Apple-Apple
Apple-Apple1
Apple-Apple2
Apple-Apple3
Apple-Apple123
Mango-Mango
Mango-Mango1
Mango-Mango2
Mango-Mango3
Mango-Mango123
Pear-Pear
Pear-Pear1
Pear-Pear2
Pear-Pear3
Pear-Pear123

\1 = what was found in the line
\r\n = carriage return new line feed on windows

Cheers
