How to search for the last word after last slash "/" and paste it at the first of the string

Nikhil Chavan

Hi All!

I want to search for the last word after last “/” and paste it at the first of the string and also add a word like “mv” as below. Can this be done with search and replace using regular expression?

Thanks in advance.

Before:
$AP_TOP/patch/115/sql/AP_Entry_xld.sql

After:
mv AP_Entry_xld.sql $AP_TOP/patch/115/sql/

Hello @nikhil-chavan and All,

I think that this regex S/R should do what you expect to !

SEARCH (?-s)^(.+/)(.+)
REPLACE mv\x20\2\x20\1
Tick the Wrap around option, if necessary
Select the Regular expression search mode
Click, either, on the Replace All or several times on the Replace button

Best Regards,
