I’m disappointed, not so much that my solution doesn’t now work as that you have totally changed the problem!
You aren’t the first to pull this stunt and likely won’t be the last but at the moment it is late evening for me so I’m not inclined to bust out my PC just to solve your new problem.Terry

Hello, @astrosofista and All,
In a previous post of that discussion, you said :
@guy038, let me ask you a question: how do you create those nice tables? Is a free tool? I’m curious.
Well, in fact, I don’t use any specific tool ! Just the usual column mode editor, with the help, mainly, of
3characters only :-
The Hythen-Minus sign
- -
The Equals sign
= -
The Bullet sign
•
I personally like the Bullet sign because it is exactly vertically centered ;-)) It’s Unicode code-point is
\x{2022}. Refer to :http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf
Most of the time, you can get it with the keyboard sequence :
-
Hold down the
Altkey -
Hit, successively, on keys
0,1,4and9of the numeric keypad -
Release the
Altkey
Tables composed with that character look better than using the Asterisk sign (
*) or the Full Stop/Dot char (.). See, examples below :•---------------•--------------•---------------• *---------------*--------------*---------------* .---------------.--------------.---------------. | LANGUAGE | MAIN form | OTHER forms | | LANGUAGE | MAIN form | OTHER forms | | LANGUAGE | MAIN form | OTHER forms | •---------------•--------------•---------------• *---------------*--------------*---------------* .---------------.--------------.---------------. | bash | sh | bash | | bash | sh | bash | | bash | sh | bash | | | | | | | | | | | | | | c | c | h | | c | c | h | | c | c | h | | c++ | cpp | hpp | | c++ | cpp | hpp | | c++ | cpp | hpp | | c# | cs | | | c# | cs | | | c# | cs | | | CSS | css | | | CSS | css | | | CSS | css | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DIFF | diff | patch | | DIFF | diff | patch | | DIFF | diff | patch | •---------------•--------------•---------------• *---------------*--------------*---------------* .---------------.--------------.---------------. •===============•==============•===============• *===============*==============*===============* .===============.==============.===============. | LANGUAGE | MAIN form | OTHER forms | | LANGUAGE | MAIN form | OTHER forms | | LANGUAGE | MAIN form | OTHER forms | •===============•==============•===============• *===============*==============*===============* .===============.==============.===============. | bash | sh | bash | | bash | sh | bash | | bash | sh | bash | |---------------•--------------•---------------| |---------------*--------------*---------------| |---------------*--------------*---------------| | c | c | h | | c | c | h | | c | c | h | | c++ | cpp | hpp | | c++ | cpp | hpp | | c++ | cpp | hpp | | c# | cs | | | c# | cs | | | c# | cs | | | CSS | css | | | CSS | css | | | CSS | css | | |---------------•--------------•---------------| |---------------*--------------*---------------| |---------------*--------------*---------------| | DIFF | diff | patch | | DIFF | diff | patch | | DIFF | diff | patch | •===============•==============•===============• *===============*==============*===============* .===============.==============.===============.Best Regards,

Hello, @cisco779k, @Terry-r, @astrosofista, @alan-kilborn and All,

your reg-ex don’t work…

Hello, @cisco779k, @Terry-r, @astrosofista, @alan-kilborn and All,
Please, don’t be so rude : I’m only trying to help, freely and I also answer to other people !
You said, previously :
in reality i would just like to invert the first with the last line, in any ### field
and also :
in some cases i also have 9 lines (between ### field)…
But, given the initial text, below, ( which may not respect your logic ! Just an example )

Hi @guy038, All
Thank you for getting back to me. I am too a big fan of the bullet
•—the symbol, not the projectile :)—. In my numeric keypad the bullet is typed by the sequence you mentioned and also with justAlt + numpad7, but as I used it a lot, usually get it through a hotstring, a tripleooo, which I can easily remember.Concerning your samples, I agree that the bullet looks better than asterisks and dots in ASCII tables. The adding sign
+also looks fine when used for crossing single lines.I began to see the seemingly next step in tables, the ones constructed with Unicode characters, but I didn´t found the time yet to deal with them.
Well, that’s enough for me and sorry for hijacking the thread.
Best Regards.

@Terry-R said in about selection:
find a method to count max number of lines in any group. That is another question to be answered. I did have a regex which can do it, but it was not elegant.
Nice and tricky puzzle. Don’t know if it is elegant or not — another question related to the eye of the beholder —, but found a regex solution for it, a long string of 172 characters for the search expression that matches groups up to 10 lines. Can post it, if interested.
Best Regards.

@guy038
I wanted to recall the post, since i didn’t see answers after 2 days and i don’t know how else to contact you. I didn’t want to be rude, it was fair to close the question…well: you have read my post above? with your reply you have published same reg-ex of your previous post.
and not work for me… same reg-ex.
perhaps it is i who do not understand.
now i have this example:### peerfergeg4Me<123 17ergergom/file/wv7PNHVud9kA 1ergergergegQy2iSLvFyoduWHrU ergergerggupload.com/filerge ergergerge34r43r343 ###this is only 5 line, but on some case i have field to 9 lines.
i want reverse first with last line like this:### ergergerge34r43r343 17ergergom/file/wv7PNHVud9kA 1ergergergegQy2iSLvFyoduWHrU ergergerggupload.com/filerge peerfergeg4Me<123 ###on this example your reg-ex not work (for me).

What I find confusing is that, when asked again, not to take the trouble
to explain exactly where the problem is and what you expect to get as a result.For example your mail from 2 days ago.
You write that in some cases it may be that between the ### lines
can also be 9 lines to be found and give 5 lines as an example. Confuses me.The whole thing suggests that there could be 10 or 15 or only 2 or 3 lines.
You see what I mean?The better and more precise you can ask your question the easier it is for others to help you.
If there are problems with the language, I would use an online translator for what I am doing right now.
They get better and better the more they are used. -
Hello, @cisco779k, @Terry-r, @astrosofista, @alan-kilborn and All,
Oh…, @cisco779k, I’m sorry ! I did not notice the differences between your example, below :
### ergergerge34r43r343 17ergergom/file/wv7PNHVud9kA 1ergergergegQy2iSLvFyoduWHrU ergergerggupload.com/filerge peerfergeg4Me<123 ###and my example :
### ### ergergerge34r43r343 peerfergeg4Me<123 17ergergom/file/wv7PNHVud9kA ergergerggupload.com/filerge/uU8CesyKVkPb4MWk_0VqkQ/1554th11.7z 1ergergergegQy2iSLvFyoduWHrU 1ergergergegQy2iSLvFyoduWHrUjN7g/1554th18.7zg ergergerggupload.com/filerge 17ergergom/file/wv7PNHVud9kAerAP3_WO-g/1554th0810.7zg peerfergeg4Me<123 ergergerge34r43r343 ### ###-
In your example, the header string
###is immediately followed with a line-break -
In mime, the header string
###is followed with blank chars and an other string###
So the obvious correction to do is to use the following S/R :
SEARCH
(?-s)^(###.*\R)(.+\R)((?:.+\R)*?)(.+\R)(?=^###)REPLACE
\1\4\3\2As you see, only the first
+symbol, of the regex, has been changed into a*symbol, meaning that string###, beginning the line (^), must be followed by0 to nstandard characters (.*) before the line-break (\R) !I should have remarked this difference before which would have avoided you to post again ;-))
Best Regards,
guy038

@guy038 tanxs you so much for your explanation and for modification to your reg-ex!
now it works very well!
I never said I had an example like yours, but maybe it’s my fault that I didn’t explain myself well …
everything is working fine now. always thanks for your regex!
cheers
