Find / Replace with TOOLBUCKET

[Rübel Rund]

Hello NPP-experts,

i would like to add a new line to a big file after a finding section. How can i do this? I have installed the plugin TOOLBUCKET - Multiline Find Replace. Not in every section i need this new line. To example i create a samplefile with car company’s. My idea was with reg exp.
FIND: (^automarke_._deutschlandDiesel)
REPLACE: \1\n NEW LINE
-> does not work

myfile with more than 120000 lines:

automarke_opel_deutschland
Ascona
Kadett
Corsa
Diesel not in every section
###Here add a new line###

automarke_audi_deutschland
A3
A5
A6
Benzin
###NO new line###

automarke_opel_deutschland
Ascona
Kadett
Corsa
Diesel not in every section
###Here add a new line###

Thanks a lot

So you might start with this text (maybe better than your exact example, which embeds meta stuff in it):

automarke_opel_deutschland
Ascona
Kadett
Corsa
Diesel

automarke_audi_deutschland
A3
A5
A6
Benzin

automarke_opel_deutschland
Ascona
Kadett
Corsa
Diesel

And you want to turn it into this:

automarke_opel_deutschland
Ascona
Kadett
Corsa
Diesel
foobar

automarke_audi_deutschland
A3
A5
A6
Benzin

automarke_opel_deutschland
Ascona
Kadett
Corsa
Diesel
foobar

I don’t think TOOLBUCKET provides you anything over-and-above what standard regular-expression replace gives you for this…

So really quickly (I’m sure there are better ways) you can do it with this:

Find what zone: (?-s)automarke_.+?_deutschland(?s).+?^(?:(Diesel).+?^$|$)
Replace with zone: $0(?1foobar\r\n)

Note: Assumes Windows line-endings (\r\n).

Thanks a lot.

It works with a little change(REPLACE: $0(HELLO WORLD\r\n) ) in my file.
