Hi, you can enclose the parts of the text, which should be manipulated for replacement with parens and resore these mached groups in the replacement pattern with numbered parts: $1 cf. the simplified example:
input text: ABCD1234EFGH/XXX/IJKLMN/file.abc search (re): ^(.*?)/XXX/(.*?)/(file\.)(abc)$ replace with $1/$2/$3txt resulting text after replacement: ABCD1234EFGH/IJKLMN/file.txt I guess it should be possible to adapt this patterns to match your specific data. hth, vbr -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,71365,71368> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
