I would like to add some custom text to the end of all lines in my document opened in Notepad++ that start with 10 and contain a specific word (for example "frog").
So far, I managed to solve the first part.
Search:
^(10)$Replace:
\1;Batteries(to add;Batteriesto the end of the line)
What I need now is to edit this regex pattern to recognize only those lines that also contain a specific word.
For example:
Before: 1050;There is this frog in the lake
After: 1050;There is this frog in the lake;Batteries
You should allow any characters between the number and the end of line:
^10.*frog.*
And replacement will be $0;Batteries. You do not even need a $ anchor as .* matches till the end of a line since . matches any character but a line break char.
NOTE: There is no need to wrap the whole pattern with capturing parentheses, the $0 placeholder refers to the whole match value.
More details:
^ - start of a line10 - a literal 10 text.* - zero or more chars other than line break chars as many as possiblefrog - a literal string.* - zero or more chars other than line break chars as many as possible
