Notepad++ Wildcard Find/Replace

Question

I'm using Notepad++ and need to update a file where there are various differences in earlier sections of the string of text and think Wildcards may help here. From the research I've done thus far, it isn't clear what syntax would be used for this.

Here's an example of the original string:

"EEID","SUPLIFE","Voluntary Life Insurance","500000.00","500000.00",0,276,10.62.0,0,0,"20151112","","A","","","","",""

I'd like to find a way to add wildcards in the places noted below as WILDCARD:

"EEID","SUPLIFE","Voluntary Life Insurance","WILDCARD","WILDCARD",WILDCARD,WILDCARD,WILDCARD,WILDCARD,WILDCARD,WILDCARD,"20151112","","A","","","","",""

The final output would then look like the following after the find/replace with wildcards to add VLIFE:

"EEID","SUPLIFE","Voluntary Life Insurance","500000.00","500000.00",0,276,10.62.0,0,0,"20151112","","A","VLIFE","","","",""

Thanks,

Brandon

Answer 1

Tested in Notepad++ and appears to work:

("EEID","SUPLIFE","Voluntary Life Insurance",([^,]+,){8}"","A",)("")(.*)

and replace pattern:

\1"VLIFE"\4
