<![CDATA[Find line containing word and the next line below it]]>I have an ini file that contains ‘tweaks’. They are entered in the file with a comment on one line explaining the tweak, then the tweak key/value on the next line.

For example:

ListSelectOnPasteInSamePath=1
ListCheckboxSelectionMode=0
ListCellsFirstLinesOnly=0
ListAutoSelectFirst=1
; Tweak: right-padding of columns
ListDetailsColumnsSpacing=3
; Tweak: left-padding of columns
ListDetailsColumnsSpacingLeft=3
ListsLineSpacing=2

I assume I’ll need to use regex to do it but is it possible to do a Find All for only the tweak lines and their corresponding tweak key/value lines? Or by any other method if Find All isn’t the way to do it?

The result for the example given would be:

; Tweak: right-padding of columns
ListDetailsColumnsSpacing=3
; Tweak: left-padding of columns
ListDetailsColumnsSpacingLeft=3

I’d go for a “Mark” with bookmark lines selected.

Use:(?-s)^(?=.*tweak:)(.+\R.+\R) and click Mark All. All the tweak lines and corresponding following lines are bookmarked. Then you’d just copy the bookmarked lines to another tab.

Thanks, Terry, perfect!!

Well I’d go for a “Mark” with bookmark lines selected.

Use:(?-s)^(?=.*tweak:)(.+\R.+\R) and click Mark All. All the tweak lines and corresponding following lines are bookmarked. Then you’d just copy the bookmarked lines to another tab.
