Notepad++ How to find and select all words between select words and copy the selected

[Kari Labermo]

I have a file with many lines like this of different text.

#EXTINF:-1 group-title=“MOVIE:” tvg-name=“Abominable [Multi-Subs] [2019]” tvg-logo=“https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w600_and_h900_bestv2/20djTLqppfBx5WYA67Y300S6aPD.jpg ” group-title=“Movie: Cartoon Multi Subtitles”,Abominable [Multi-Subs] [2019]

I would like to find group-title=“Movie: Cartoon Multi Subtitles”, the cut out the selected and the find group-title=“MOVIE:” in the begining of the line and replace it with the text that was select and cut out. If there is any that can help me with a macro for this

I hope anyone understand of what i’m after
:)

Best regards

Hello, @kari-labermo,

Not totally clear ! The best is to express, both, what you have AND what you expect to !

So, do you expect :

BEFORE :

#EXTINF:-1 group-title="MOVIE:" tvg-name="Abominable [Multi-Subs] [2019]" tvg-logo="Address" group-title="Movie: Cartoon Multi Subtitles",Abominable [Multi-Subs] [2019]

AFTER :

#EXTINF:-1 group-title="MOVIE: Cartoon Multi Subtitles" tvg-name="Abominable [Multi-Subs] [2019]" tvg-logo="Address" group-title="Movie:",Abominable [Multi-Subs] [2019]

OR this replacement :

BEFORE :

#EXTINF:-1 group-title="MOVIE:" tvg-name="Abominable [Multi-Subs] [2019]" tvg-logo="Address" group-title="Movie: Cartoon Multi Subtitles",Abominable [Multi-Subs] [2019]

AFTER :

#EXTINF:-1 group-title="MOVIE: Cartoon Multi Subtitles" tvg-name="Abominable [Multi-Subs] [2019]" tvg-logo="Address" ,Abominable [Multi-Subs] [2019]

Note that I simply replaced the Internet link, of the tvg-logo attribute, by the name Address in order to get shorter lines !

Remark : To easily insert raw text, look at this post

Hi, @kari-labermo and All,

OK ! So, here is the road map :

• Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + F )

• SEARCH (?-is)(group-title="MOVIE:)"(\x20.+)group-title="Movie:(.+?")

• REPLACE \1\3\2

• Tick, preferably, the Wrap around option

• Select the Regular expression search mode

• Click once on the Replace All button or several times on the Replace button

=> Any range of text, after the string group-title="Movie:, with this exact case, till the next double quotes ", should be moved right after the string group-title="MOVIE:, with this exact case !

Best regards,
