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

split = 33 34 33.
Please help, thank you.
