hi great community,

i need to append text to some lines only. this is an example of my document:

#EXT2836,
https://blabla
#EXT392,
https://blgahsa
#EXT9161,
https://agglo

i need to append text to https line only, like this one:

#EXT2836,
https://blabla66666
#EXT392,
https://blgahsa66666
#EXT9161,
https://agglo66666

i know how to append text to all lines with:
find: $
replace: 66666

but this regex append text to all lines. i need to append text only to https lines

so, i need help on replace field:
find: (?-s)https://.*
replace: 66666 (need help here)

a simple way I can think of:
Find: ^https.*\K
Replace with: 66666

\K resets the starting point of the reported match, then you can just type the appended text in the Replace field.

The setting . matches newline in the Replace dialog is unchecked.

oh yes, work fine. thank you

this option \K it’s really new for me. thanks again for your tip

Note that \K is only going to work if you’re doing a Replace All.
It won’t work with a step-by-step Replace.
