Notepad++ Batch program find lines missing "..."

Sebastian Schmidt

Hello guys,

i got a .ptp with 2000 string looking like this:

N0070 G18 G03 X-3.4602 I-.0569 K0.0 F35.4
N0080 I.1137 K0.0
N0090 X-3.3465 I.0569 K0.0
N0100 G00 Y-.1181
N0110 G03 X-3.4602 I-.0569 K0.0
N0120 I.1137 K0.0
N0130 X-3.3465 I.0569 K0.0
N0140 G00 Y-.2362
N0150 G03 X-3.4602 I-.0569 K0.0
N0160 I.1137 K0.0
N0170 X-3.3465 I.0569 K0.0

i want to write a batch program, which finds the lines where there isnt G00, G01, G02, G03.
and then go back 1 line and copy G00 or G01 or … into the line below.

So for example:

Line with N0080 because there is no G03, the goto line N0070 and copy G03 in line N0080

Can anybody help me?

Best regards,

Sebastian Schmidt

@Sebastian-Schmidt

it might be possible that a regex can help in such a case but you need to
know where exactly the missing G0? needs to be placed but in general
I would advise to learn a scripting language for solving such problems.
I, of course, would advise to learn python. ;-)
