Hi Guys,
I manage huge keyword lists and need to be able to find and replace
words with multipul different words without doing it manualy.
EG
List
I ride bikes on monday
I ride motorbikes on monday
I walk the dog on monday
I eat fish on monday
I would like to find and replace monday with every other day of the
week without entering each day in and doing a find and replace for
each day one by one. Is there some sort of mass dump I can use to put
all the days as replacements and generate the list with all days
involved?
Sure.
find:
^(.*?)monday(.*)\r
replace:
\01monday\02\r\01tuesday\02\r\01wednesday\02\r\01thursday\02\r\01friday\02\r\01saturday\02\r\01sunday\02\r
\01 is what's captured in the first parentheses (before
'monday'), and \02 has whatever is captured by the second parens
(after 'monday' up to \r, the 'newline'). This allows you to do
this operation when 'monday' isn't the last thing on the line.
Using this, your example is transformed from
I ride bikes on monday
I ride motorbikes on monday
I walk the dog on monday
I eat fish on monday
to
I ride bikes on monday
I ride bikes on tuesday
I ride bikes on wednesday
I ride bikes on thursday
I ride bikes on friday
I ride bikes on saturday
I ride bikes on sunday
I ride motorbikes on monday
I ride motorbikes on tuesday
I ride motorbikes on wednesday
I ride motorbikes on thursday
I ride motorbikes on friday
I ride motorbikes on saturday
I ride motorbikes on sunday
I walk the dog on monday
I walk the dog on tuesday
I walk the dog on wednesday
I walk the dog on thursday
I walk the dog on friday
I walk the dog on saturday
I walk the dog on sunday
I eat fish on monday
I eat fish on tuesday
I eat fish on wednesday
I eat fish on thursday
I eat fish on friday
I eat fish on saturday
I eat fish on sunday
