        The key part seems to be needing to know the way to insert a line-break.
        I’m not much for Extended search mode, but I think you could use it here to do what you want… you would use \r\n in your replacement string where you wanted a line-break.
        It’s a little bit simpler to figure out than regular expressions, so that’s why I’m mentioning it.

              LOL. Guy is French so sometimes his wording is “interesting”. :-)
              (In general though, his English is very good, indeed)

              Click, exclusively on the Replace All button

              What is meant here is that you can’t use the Replace button for this action; you have to use Replace All to perform the replacement.

                      not sure about what of this goes in the search line?
                      After searching for the line isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes, respecting the case (?-i) and its line-ending characters \R, the \K feature resets the search and simply matches the zero-length location, right after this line

                          So, when @guy038 said:

                          SEARCH (?-i)isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes\R\K

                          REPLACE sound = “sound” ; sound folder\r\n ( OR sound = “sound” ; sound folder\n if UNIX files )

                          He meant for “SEARCH” that you would put this in the box labeled Find what:

                          And correspondingly, “REPLACE” means look for the Replace with box.

                          Does that help?

                            yeah…I think I lost my “isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes” because it replaced it with the sound stuff…lol but it added sound i think 736 times…so rather than replace that line…insert the sound line below it…this was on a trial cfg not the real one yet till i get this down.

                              But, because you’re an admitted noob, why not do a simpler-to-understand Extended mode replacement, like this:

                              58fdc235-dae6-4e51-beba-5e5351f3f61f-image.png

                              Notice:

                              • the Search mode has been set to Extended – this allows you to do fancy things (over and above what a Normal search allows) like specify multiple lines in your data (here you are replacing one-line with two (the original plus a new one).

                              • the \r\n in the Replace with data is what creates a second line in your data; it is the “dividing point” between two lines

                              Is this easier to see/understand?

                                      If I need to change this: isuserselectable = 0 ; flag off for non selectable planes to this:

                                      isUserSelectable = 0 ; (on the end of search line after 0 ; \R\K

                                      and still replace with:

                                      sound = “sound” ; sound folder (sound = “sound” ; sound folder\r\n)

                                        @carolina-number-1,

                                        Your last post isn’t quite clear but I guess you would like to add the line sound = "sound" ; sound folder right after each line beginning with isuserselectable = 0, whatever the contents of a possible comment area, coming next the colon character

                                        If so, change the search regex, only, as :

                                        SEARCH (?-si)isuserselectable = 0.*\R\K

                                        • The (?-s) part means that any dot meta-character matches a single standard character

                                        • The .* syntax, before the \R , represents the area, possibly empty, of standard character(s), after the string = 0 and before the EOL chars

                                        I advice you to get documentation on the regex world, in this FAQ

                                        Best regards,

                                        guy038

                                            Just curious and maybe it can’t be done… but lets say I have 100 Fltsims and I want to be apostrophe’s at the beginning and end of the title line only…can that be done…here’s a sample:

                                            [fltsim.1]
                                            title=“JFAI_737_300_AirChina”
                                            sim=TrafficGlobal
                                            model=
                                            panel=x
                                            sound=
                                            texture=AirChina
                                            atc_id=B737

                                            ui_createdby=Just Flight

                                            [fltsim.2]
                                            title=“JFAI_737_300_AllNippon”

                                            texture=AllNippon
                                            atc_id=B737
                                            atc_flight_number=
                                            atc_airline=ALL NIPPON

                                            ui_manufacturer=Boeing
                                            ui_type=B733
                                            ui_variation=All Nippon
                                            description=AI
                                            ui_typerole=Traffic Global AI
                                            ui_createdby=Just Flight

                                            So in other words…I would open the document in Notepad++ and want to put the apostrophe at the beginning and end of just the “Title line” for each fltsim section…1,2,3, etc… Might have to do a couple thousand of these…lol

                                            i learned so much yesterday on the little I did that now I am dangerous!!!
