      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,
