notepad regular expression replacement

Question

Essentially I have a set of name like

name1,
name2,
name3,

and I'd like to make it via find & replacement in notepad++

name1 = name1,
name2 = name2,
name3 = name3,

I have no problem find those name1 name2 in Find what:

[^\s,]+

But in Replace with , what should I do to replace ',' with "= whatever being find ," ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Find what (assuming your regex finds what you want correctly): [^\\s,]+

Replace with: $0 = $0

$0 means everything matched by the expression in "Find what"

Answer 2

You can try using the following regex on search field:

^(\\w+\\d),

and the replace field:

$1 = $1,

Hope it help you!
