I don’t know if this qualifies as a search/replace question so I didn’t use that template.

A mod I’m using for a game is out of date so I thought I’d try to update it. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to compare the mod’s data file to the game’s data file but when I opened the mod’s data file I saw that all of the code was smushed into one line.

In the game’s data file the code looks like this:

{
	"sheets": [
		{
			"name": "icon",
			"columns": [
				{
					"typeStr": "14",
					"name": "icon",
					"opt": true
				},
				{
					"typeStr": "0",
					"name": "id"
				},
				{
					"typeStr": "1",
					"name": "text",
					"opt": true,
					"kind": "localizable"
				},
				{
					"typeStr": "1",
					"name": "desc",
					"opt": true,
					"kind": "localizable"
				},
				{
					"typeStr": "2",
					"name": "iconeDone",
					"editor": {
						"copyPasteImmutable": true
					}
				}
			],

In the mod’s data file the code looks like this:

{"sheets": [{"name": "icon", "columns": [{"typeStr": "14", "name": "icon", "opt": true}, {"typeStr": "0", "name": "id"}, {"typeStr": "1", "name": "text", "opt": true, "kind": "localizable"}, {"typeStr": "1", "name": "desc", "opt": true, "kind": "localizable"}, {"typeStr": "2", "name": "iconeDone", "editor": {"copyPasteImmutable": true}}],

I know how to manually change the way the code looks on a small scale but the Game’s data file has 289,028 lines and having to manually change the mod’s data file to match that would take way too long.

I’ve tried adding new lines by using the replace function by adding new lines after the brackets and curly brackets but that only increased the total amount of lines to around 90,000.

Is there a way of changing the way the code looks in the entire file so it matches the game’s data file?

If it’s allowed I could possibly add the modded file if it helps.
