OK, I understand ! I wrongly supposed that your text began the line, physically. But, of course, most of the time, your text is indented !

In that case change, both, the search AND the replacement part with the regexes below :

SEARCH : (?-is)^((\h+)\(include "/properties/car.ext"\)\R)(?s)(.+)

REPLACE : \1\2\(include "car_crew.inc"\)\r\n\3

Everything should be OK :-))

Remark :

IF your text contains several lines (include "/properties/car.ext"), in files, be aware that the regex S/R, above, adds the line (include "car_crew.inc"), only after the FIRST occurrence of (include "/properties/car.ext") !

If all is OK, I could, next time, give you some explanations on these regexes !

To get further information, you should have a look about the FAQ Desk post, below :

See you later

{game_entity
(include “/properties/car.ext”)
(include “/properties/shadow/tank.inc” scale(0.9))
(include “/properties/selection/vehicle.inc” scale(1.1))
{mass 1380}

(?-is)^((include “/properties/car.ext”)\R)(?s)(.+),
\1(include “car_crew.inc”)\r\n\2,

not works

(?-is)^({game_entity\R)(?s)(.+)
\1(include “car_crew.inc”)\r\n\2,

works

is it possible insert text between any line ?

0 occurrences where replaced…plz check pic

Ok ! So, in other words, if you don’t mind about the location, among the four possible ones, that you proposed, we could simply tell that you need to insert the line (include "car_crew.inc"), after the line (include "/properties/car.ext") which always begins every file, which are to be scanned.

If so :

• First, I strongly advice you to backup your original files, before any operation !

• Then, open the Find in Files dialog ( Ctrl + Shift + F )

• Type the regex (?-is)^(\(include "/properties/car.ext"\)\R)(?s)(.+), in the Find what: zone

• Type the regex \1\(include "car_crew.inc"\)\r\n\2, in the Replace with: zone

• Fill the two other fields Filters and Directory:, as you like

• Select the Regular expression search mode

• Click on the Replace in files button and confirm the changes

Et voilà !

this top line are same in every file

(include “/properties/car.ext”)

(include “car_crew.inc”) <-----can inserted here

(include “/properties/shadow/tank.inc” scale(1.0))
<------------ or inserted here
(include “/properties/selection/vehicle.inc” scale(1.1))
<------------- or inserted here
{collider “truck”}
<------------- or inserted here

all I want insert this single line (include “car_crew.inc”) in all file at once

Regarding the limited time of editing, it’s due to some spam attacks we had in the past, on this site. I agree with you and many others users that this delay should be highly increased for a nicer work. By now, only moderators of this site may re-open and change their own posts, without any limit !

Regarding your problem, I didn’t clearly understand and I’m rather confused ! We must find some parameter(s) which identify, without ambiguity, the location where this line have to be inserted. For example :

• Is it always after line 7, or any other, of each file ?

• Or, as you said, must this line be inserted between two lines, which are always the same, whatever the file to scan ?

• Or ?

I cant edit my post…waiting time 2100…what is this ?

all files are same…just want to insert (include “car_crew.inc”) in every file…there are too many files it will take me forever

Some precisions :

• Does the new line (include "car_crew.inc") need to be inserted once or several times in each file ?

• Is this line be inserted always at the same location ? ( I mean, for instance, always between the present lines 7 and 8 ! )

• Will the lines (include "/properties/car.ext") and (include "/properties/shadow/tank.inc" scale(1.0)) always surround this new line ?

See you later,
