Multiple search & replace - Notepad ++ (regex) -
i have list of words, example:
 -> bad  sky -> blue  gray -> black   etc...
what best why find&replace in notepad++? tried this:
find: (good)|(sky)|(gray)  replace: (?1bad)(?2blue)(?3black)   but doesn't work :( idea? or suggestions ?
there workaround if add newline @ end of text (it must last line, don't press enter @ end):
#good:bad#sky:blue#gray:black#   and if use pattern:
(good|blue|black)(?=(?:.*\r)++#(?>[^#]+#)*?\1:([^#]+))|\r.++(?!\r)   with replacement:
$2   pattern details:
(good|blue|black)  # part capture word in group 1 (?=                # reach last line in lookakead     (?:.*\r)++     # match lines until last line     #(?>[^#]+#)*?  # advance until value found      \1             # value (backreference capture group 1)     : ([^#]+)      # capture replacement in group 2 )                  # close lookbehind  |                  # or  \r.++(?!\r)        # match last line (to remove it)   note: make pattern more efficient, can put in non capturing group , add lookahead @ begining first possible characters discard useless positions in string:
(?=[gb\r\n])(?:\b(good|blue|black)\b(?=(?:.*\r)++#(?>[^#]+#)*?\1:([^#]+))|\r.++(?!\r))
