Copy the text behind the parentheses and paste it into the double quotes

[David Alexandru]

I would like to know the expression to perform this action for a 900+ lines.

Before:

ACACIA_BOAT(""); 
ACACIA_BUTTON("");  
ACACIA_DOOR("");

After:

ACACIA_BOAT("ACACIA_BOAT"); 
ACACIA_BUTTON("ACACIA_BUTTON"); 
ACACIA_DOOR("ACACIA_DOOR");

Basically, what I want to achieve is to have the text before the parentheses copied and placed where the quotes are. As the example above.

@David-Alexandru said in Copy the text behind the parentheses and paste it into the double quotes:

Something like this would do it if your real data is like you posted.
find what: (\w+)\(""\);
replace with: \1\("\1"\);
check regular expression in search mode

@Ekopalypse It worked! Thank you a lot!
