Find an replace

Thirsty for Knowledge

Hello,

is it possible to search for a text that starts with certain characters, followed by a variable text and ends again with a certain character string?
For example:
location='WINDOWS[0][listbox “Text 1”][option
location='WINDOWS[0][listbox “Text 2”][option
location='WINDOWS[0][listbox “Text 3”][option

should be changed to:

location='WINDOWS[0].TABSEQUENCE[option
location='WINDOWS[0].TABSEQUENCE[option
location='WINDOWS[0].TABSEQUENCE[option

Thank’s for your help

if listbox followed by a text encased in double quotes is a unique term then
you can do something like
find what listbox.*?".*?"
replace with \.\t
don’t forget checking regular expression

For a more direct interpretation, I suggest:

Find (?-si)(location='WINDOWS\[0\]).*?(?=\[option)
Repl \1.TABSEQUENCE
Mode Regular exp
