<![CDATA[Need help with find and replace using wildcards and in multiple files]]>Fellow Notepad++ Users,

Could you please help me the following search-and-replace problem I am having?

I am trying to replace data under the following format in multiple files, and in multiple occurrences in single files;

split = 30 40 30
The “split” in each instance is not always the same.

I want to replace every occurrence with the following

split = 33 34 33.

Please help, thank you.

Does the line beginning with the term, “split” end with numbers? Please give a before and after (expected solution) example. If there are only 3 digits, you can hit ctrl+h on your keyboard, click on the, “Find in Files” tab, put (split =) \d+ \d+ \d+ in the Find field and $1 33 34 33 in the Replace field, tick (check) the Regular expression mode and hit the Replace all button. You have to ensure that you select which folder you want to do this in correctly!
Explanation: $1 represents the capturing group 1 which is what is in parentheses that is used in the “Find field”, in this case, “split =”
