How do I use replace to edit part of line with certain keywords?
-
I’ve googled to no avail, just fyi but I have a noob question. I am editing .xml files and in this .xml file there are a lot of entries that start with the same word which i want to change only part of the line and I don’t know how to do it.
Original:
<recipe name=“flagstoneArch” count=“2” craft_time=“3”>
I want to replace all craft time entries that begin with “flagstone” to another number; say 12 up from 3. I am aware of the wildcard but all I’ve succeeded in doing is making it look like this:
<recipe name=“flagstone.*” count=“2” craft_time=“12”> for every entry. -
Maybe try this:
Bring up the Replace window (ctrl+h).
Find what box:(?-is)(<recipe name=“flagstone.*?craft_time=“)\d+
Replace with box:${1}12
Search mode: Regular expression
Wrap around: ticked
Press the Replace All button.
