      Hello,
      is there any chance in notepad++ to manipulate an xml file in the following manner?

      the xml file contains multiple lines an different positions conraining the string “>NAME”
      The whole line containing this string should be copied directly behind the found line.

      The same line contains a string "layer=“25"”
      After the copying process there are existing always two identical lines with the same content.
      In every second line containing "layer=“25"” the “25” should be replaced by “21”.

      I only managed up to now to bookmark the linemincluding “>NAME” with the Find/Mark Function .

      Thanks for your help!
      best regards

        Does >NAME come before layer="25" in a line? (for example, <component name=">NAME" layer="25">) or is it reversed? (for example, <shape type="circle" layer="25">NAME CircleOne</shape>)

        I’ll assume the second case as that’s more typical with XML files.

        Find: (?-s)^((.*? layer=")(25)(".*?>NAME.*\R))
        Replace with: \1\221\4

        Example Input:

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
><document>
>    <shapes>
>        <shape type="circle" layer="25">NAME CircleOne</shape>
>        <shape type="square" layer="25">NAME SquareOne</shape>
>        <shape type="triangle" layer="25">NAME TriangleOne</shape>
>        <shape type="hexagon" layer="25">NAME HexagonOne</shape>
>    </shapes>
>    <layers>
>        <layer id="1" layer="25">NAME LayerOne</layer>
>        <layer id="2" layer="25">NAME LayerTwo</layer>
>        <layer id="3" layer="25">NAME LayerThree</layer>
>        <layer id="4" layer="25">NAME LayerFour</layer>
>    </layers>
>    <components>
>        <component id="A" layer="25">NAME ComponentA</component>
>        <component id="B" layer="25">NAME ComponentB</component>
>        <component id="C" layer="25">NAME ComponentC</component>
>        <component id="D" layer="25">NAME ComponentD</component>
>    </components>
></document>

        Output:

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<document>
    <shapes>
        <shape type="circle" layer="25">NAME CircleOne</shape>
        <shape type="circle" layer="21">NAME CircleOne</shape>
        <shape type="square" layer="25">NAME SquareOne</shape>
        <shape type="square" layer="21">NAME SquareOne</shape>
        <shape type="triangle" layer="25">NAME TriangleOne</shape>
        <shape type="triangle" layer="21">NAME TriangleOne</shape>
        <shape type="hexagon" layer="25">NAME HexagonOne</shape>
        <shape type="hexagon" layer="21">NAME HexagonOne</shape>
    </shapes>
    <layers>
        <layer id="1" layer="25">NAME LayerOne</layer>
        <layer id="1" layer="21">NAME LayerOne</layer>
        <layer id="2" layer="25">NAME LayerTwo</layer>
        <layer id="2" layer="21">NAME LayerTwo</layer>
        <layer id="3" layer="25">NAME LayerThree</layer>
        <layer id="3" layer="21">NAME LayerThree</layer>
        <layer id="4" layer="25">NAME LayerFour</layer>
        <layer id="4" layer="21">NAME LayerFour</layer>
    </layers>
    <components>
        <component id="A" layer="25">NAME ComponentA</component>
        <component id="A" layer="21">NAME ComponentA</component>
        <component id="B" layer="25">NAME ComponentB</component>
        <component id="B" layer="21">NAME ComponentB</component>
        <component id="C" layer="25">NAME ComponentC</component>
        <component id="C" layer="21">NAME ComponentC</component>
        <component id="D" layer="25">NAME ComponentD</component>
        <component id="D" layer="21">NAME ComponentD</component>
    </components>
</document>

        If, for some reason, >NAME always precedes layer="25", then just swap the elements in the regex like this:

        (?-s)^((.*?>NAME.*? layer=")(25)(".*\R))

            Hi, i tested your example and it worked in Notepad++, but unfortunately not with my xml file.

            So here a a few example lines of my xml file:

            <wire x1=“1.4” y1=“-1.09” x2=“1.4” y2=“0.89” width=“0.1” layer=“21” curve=“-294.794621” cap=“flat”/>
            <wire x1=“-0.989” y1=“-0.589” x2=“-0.381” y2=“-0.589” width=“0.0762” layer=“21”/>
            <wire x1=“-0.381” y1=“-0.589” x2=“-0.381” y2=“-1.097” width=“0.0762” layer=“21”/>
            <pad name=“A” x=“-1.3” y=“0” drill=“0.8” diameter=“1.8”/>
            <pad name=“K” x=“1.3” y=“0” drill=“0.8” diameter=“1.8”/>
            <text x=“-2.3” y=“2.1” size=“0.8” layer=“25” ratio=“12”>>NAME</text>
            <text x=“-0.5” y=“2.1” size=“0.8” layer=“27” ratio=“12”>>VALUE</text>
            <text x=“-2” y=“-2.4” size=“0.9” layer=“27” rot=“R90”>>VALUE</text>

            I hope that you can help me further!
            best regards, thanks a lot

              @ottiditto ,

              Unfortunately, because you did not use the </> button to wrap your text in a “code block”, the forum interprets parts of your XML as HTML, and displays the quotes as smart-quotes, among other formatting changes – so we cannot tell which of the following you actually intended:

              <wire x1="1.4" y1="-1.09" x2="1.4" y2="0.89" width="0.1" layer="21" curve="-294.794621" cap="flat"/>
<wire x1="-0.989" y1="-0.589" x2="-0.381" y2="-0.589" width="0.0762" layer="21"/>
<wire x1="-0.381" y1="-0.589" x2="-0.381" y2="-1.097" width="0.0762" layer="21"/>
<pad name="A" x="-1.3" y="0" drill="0.8" diameter="1.8"/>
<pad name="K" x="1.3" y="0" drill="0.8" diameter="1.8"/>
<text x="-2.3" y="2.1" size="0.8" layer="25" ratio="12">&gt;NAME</text>
<text x="-0.5" y="2.1" size="0.8" layer="27" ratio="12">&gt;VALUE</text>
<text x="-2" y="-2.4" size="0.9" layer="27" rot="R90">&gt;VALUE</text>

              vs

              <wire x1="1.4" y1="-1.09" x2="1.4" y2="0.89" width="0.1" layer="21" curve="-294.794621" cap="flat"/>
<wire x1="-0.989" y1="-0.589" x2="-0.381" y2="-0.589" width="0.0762" layer="21"/>
<wire x1="-0.381" y1="-0.589" x2="-0.381" y2="-1.097" width="0.0762" layer="21"/>
<pad name="A" x="-1.3" y="0" drill="0.8" diameter="1.8"/>
<pad name="K" x="1.3" y="0" drill="0.8" diameter="1.8"/>
<text x="-2.3" y="2.1" size="0.8" layer="25" ratio="12">>NAME</text>
<text x="-0.5" y="2.1" size="0.8" layer="27" ratio="12">>VALUE</text>
<text x="-2" y="-2.4" size="0.9" layer="27" rot="R90">>VALUE</text>

              or whether your actual text is something different.

              (I could only extract as much as I did because I have moderator powers; even then, I cannot guarantee that the forum didn’t change your text.)

              The regex for those two pieces of text is different, so until you clarify, @pbarney may not be able to help you.

                oops, the community website alters the pasted xml-file,

                    @ottiditto ,

                    Then I believe changing the FIND WHAT to (?-s)^((.*? layer=")(25)(".*?>\&gt;NAME.*\R)) should do what you want – it now looks for the closing > followed by the &gt; then NAME, and will duplicate a line that matches and change the 25 in the second to a 21, with the following output:

                    <wire x1="1.4" y1="-1.09" x2="1.4" y2="0.89" width="0.1" layer="21" curve="-294.794621" cap="flat"/>
<wire x1="-0.989" y1="-0.589" x2="-0.381" y2="-0.589" width="0.0762" layer="21"/>
<wire x1="-0.381" y1="-0.589" x2="-0.381" y2="-1.097" width="0.0762" layer="21"/>
<pad name="A" x="-1.3" y="0" drill="0.8" diameter="1.8"/>
<pad name="K" x="1.3" y="0" drill="0.8" diameter="1.8"/>
<text x="-2.3" y="2.1" size="0.8" layer="25" ratio="12">&gt;NAME</text>
<text x="-2.3" y="2.1" size="0.8" layer="21" ratio="12">&gt;NAME</text>
<text x="-0.5" y="2.1" size="0.8" layer="27" ratio="12">&gt;VALUE</text>
<text x="-2" y="-2.4" size="0.9" layer="25" rot="R90">&gt;VALUE</text>

                      Hello, @ottiditto, @pbarney, @peterjones and All,

                      A tiny piece of information : The & character is not a regex character, so the following syntax is sufficient :

                      • FIND (?-s)^((.*? layer=")(25)(".*?>&gt;NAME.*\R))

                      • REPLACE ${1}${2}21${4}

                      Best Regards,

                      guy038
