<![CDATA[Replace text inside Quotations]]>Hello,

I am struggling to find an answer to my problem.

I have a large text file that has lots of strings similar to the below:-

translation=“-56.3568 13.54 94.6262”
translation=“116.799 17.376 -142.61”
translation=“38.3606 5.67512 204.685”

Each middle number inside the quotes is different but I want them to read all the same, like this:-

translation=“-56.3568 10.2 94.6262”
translation=“116.799 10.2 -142.61”
translation=“38.3606 10.2 204.685”

Is that even possible with Notepad++?

Many thanks,

Greeham

Seems reasonable!

I have managed it with some additional searching (since I am a new noobie) and worked with this:-

Find: (?-s)(.+?translation=")([\d.-]+) [\d.-]+ ([\d.-]+)
Replace: ${1}${2} 99.403 ${3}
Search mode: Regular expression

Thanks again,

Greeham

so would I add the search to include the word translation at the beginning as well?

Certainly!

Thanks for the help,

Greeham

A quick one that is not entirely rigorous, but fits your data:

Find: ([\d.-]+) [\d.-]+ ([\d.-]+)
Replace: ${1} 10.2 ${2}
Search mode: Regular expression
