EV: Notepad++ Regular Express syntax

1. Back Reference

Use \1 for the first match.

Example: Replace "(SB)" in string "SA SB SC" with "\1X", you will got "SA SBX SC".

Example: Replace "(.*) = (.*);" with "\2 = \1;", you will got "txtName.Text = Category.Name;" from "Category.Name = txtName.Text;".

 

2. New Line

Use \r\n for new line.

Example:

    1). Replace "\r\n" in a text block with ", " will join multiple lines into one.

    2). Replace "\r\n" in a text block with "");\r\ns.AppendLine("" will wrap each line into s.AppendLine("line content");
