      I’m trying to put this code at certain lines in my program.

      first_program_used =  main_address + r"\first_program_used.txt"
      

      These lines have slight differences so find & replace won’t work.
      But every single line has this under it.

      file = open(first_program_used)
      

      So I was wondering if it’s possible to find all lines with “file = open(first_program_used)”
      Go one line up and replace everything there with “first_program_used = main_address + r”\first_program_used.txt""

        with regular expression checked and a look ahead regex in find what like

        (?-s)^.*(?=\Rfile = open\(first_program_used\))
        

        you should be able to to find the line prior to file = open …

        Note: in replace with you need to escape the \first by \\first so it looks like

        first_program_used =  main_address + r"\\first_program_used.txt"
        

        Cheers
