Several replacements at once

Postby zdvolode » Sun Dec 11, 2005 11:47 pm

When using "replace in files" option is it posible to make several replacements using "replace in files" option only once.
Example:

We want to replace:

THIS1 with THIS11
THIS2 with THIS22

Is it posibble to make this replacement(like in example) using replace in files only once and not twice as a normal replacement of this example would require.

Thank You

Search String: THIS([0-9])
Replace String: THIS\1\1

This requires a Regular Expression search and replace with Unix-Style regular expressions active.

It can be done just as easily with UE-style regular expressions - read the Help.

It will replace THIS followed by any digit with THIS followed by two of the digits.

You can use your imagination to expand on this quite a bit.
