<![CDATA[Copy each line of text to 2nd line and add text before and after]]>Here’s what I need to do. I have a text file with a list of filenames.

example:

3wonders.zip
40love.zip
4dwarrio.zip

I need to copy each line to a second line and then add text before and after each line.

example:

mame[“3wonders.zip”].core=mame0139
mame[“3wonders.zip”].emulator=libretro
mame[“40love.zip”].core=mame0139
mame[“40love.zip”].emulator=libretro
mame[“4dwarrio.zip”].core=mame0139
mame[“4dwarrio.zip”].emulator=libretro

I’ve found the commands to add the text before and after a single line but I’m lost on if there’s a better way to do this than having to add and edit line by line for the for line of the text file name that was copied from the original line.

I was searching for that kind of information but I’m pretty new to using Notepad++ and had no idea of what terms, etc. I was looking for. Thank you for the very useful information.
