<![CDATA[Find number, insert further along the line]]>Hi you guys!

I have got 2550 lines where I need to search for “SM2841462” (unique for every line), and replace “XX0000000” with this - or i could delete XX000000 and insert the “SM” number here.

Hope you can help!
Thanks!

<div class=“tree-branch document” onclick=“TREE.displayDoc(event, ‘SM2841462’, ‘true’)”><span title=“ABBREVIATIONS”><i class=“fa fa-file-text-o” aria-hidden=“true”></i><a href=“index%EF%B9%96page=content&id=XX0000000.html” target=“_blank”>ABBREVIATIONS</a></span></div>

Try this bit of magic:

  • Regular expression Search mode
  • Find: (?-si)((SM\d{7}).*?)XX0{7}
  • Replace: ${1}${2}

Learn more about regular expressions in Notepad++ HERE, as well as in the N++ documentation about them HERE.
