Need help with finding and replacing

Chec Pufos

Hello, i have 30 notepad files in which i want to change a number at certain lines.

This is the lines that are found in each document:


Size {
        #  [range: 1 ~ 256000, default: 1000]
        I:max=1000

        #  [range: 1 ~ 256000, default: 500]
        I:min=500

I want to change the number after i:max and i:min in each document, but be aware that there are other places where these 2 appear and i need to change the numbers only in these specific lines. How can i do that? Also, the number after ''default: ‘’ it is different in each document in both lines.

@Chec-Pufos ,

Your specs are more vague than you think they are.

Assuming you want to replace any positive integer immediately after that specific I:max= with 987 and any positive integer immediately after that specific I:min= with 654, then it could be done with something like:
FIND = (?-is)(Size\s+{\s*.*\R\s*I:max=)\d+(\s*.*\R\s*I:min=)\d+
REPLACE = ${1}987${2}654
SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression
REPLACE IN FILES

hopefully, you can figure out what to change in order to replace with values other than 987 or 654

highly recommended: always back up your data before trying a regex that someone hands you; always try a new regex on a single file and make sure it behaves as you expect before trying on the full 30 files.
