Hello everybody,
I am using the notepad ++ to modify some cnc programs, so I have inserted some new blocks in one of this programs, then I would like to know how to rename the blocks automatically, is that possible?

Thank you in advance for your help.
For example, I have the following blocks of a cnc program:
N1400 G01 Z=R451+R90 F=500 ;COTA Z PISTA SUPERIOR
N1410 STOPRE
N1420 M92 ;RESET ANALOGICAS PIST NOVAand I want to introduce two new blocks (lines) and rename automatically all blocks in ascending order, for example:
N1400 G01 Z=R451+R90 F=500 ;COTA Z PISTA SUPERIOR
N1410 STOPRE
N1420 G04 F10 ; (NEW BlOCK)
N1430 STOPRE ; (NEW BLOCK)
N1440 M92 ;RESET ANALOGICAS PIST NOVA

out of the box - this could be, better I should say I assume this could be, achieved with some heavy regular expressions but
when installing a npp scripting language plugin like python, java script, lua etc… we could find a way to automate this.Cheers

I thought It was easier, I thought It was already a notepad ++ resource.
Thank you again.

there is one other solution which maybe suits you.
With holding alt+shift you can use the arrow keys to select a block of text, alt+left mouse is the same.
Once done, pressing alt+c opens the block editor mode and there you can insert numbers with a defined stepping.Cheers
