Notepad ++将。|每5行替换为。}

Question

I got a text that ends on every single line with .|

And I need to replace the .| on every 5th line with .}

I did it with this code in search (((.|)*\\s*\\s*){5}) and replace $1.}

But that adds every 5th line a new line with .} on the beginning, but doesn't replace the .| on the end of the 5th.

And I can't figure out how to modify the code for my need!

Maybe some modification ideas for this code?

Answer 2

You can do it but looking for for matching lines and then a nother line that matches up to the point you want to replace.

With regex and wraparound checked and ". matches newline" not checked, searchign forward form start of file.

search:

((^.*\.\|\r\n){4}(^.*))\.\|\r\n

That 4 times form the start of a line match all characters including the .| at the EoL and alos match all the characters on the next line up to the .| at the EoL.

replace:

\\1.}\\r\\n

Replace everything in the 1st capture group with itself followed by you new end of line sequence.

Answer 3

How about:

Fin what: ((?:.+\\R){4}.+)\\|(\\R)
Replace with: $1}$2

Then clic on Replace All

Make sure that Dot matches newline is NOT checked.
