Dear colleagues,

I have a file with two names separated by space, while each pair is in a different line.

NameA NameB
NameC NameD
…

I also have several files in the formarmat .tre, .nex and they all can be open on note pad ++ and showed as text.

What I want to do is replace the nameA for NameB, C for D and so on. In all files opened on notepad ++.

The names to be replaced on the other files may be inside a phrase with complex symbols like:

102.222;NameA%LLLNameC@#%

If I do it manually it works. I use ctrl H, fill the form with replace NameA for NameB and click on replace in all open documents.

However, I would have to do it too many times, so I want to do it automatically. I’ve reading the forum, but I have no experience coding.

Can someone please write a little command to be used on the replace tool from notepad ++ to solve this problem? I believe it is possible.

Thank you!
