Multi-line editing on Atom

I have this task that I need to complete fast as possible. I have coupon codes (over 1000), I going to create an array out of it. To do that fast as possible I need to be able select multiples lines and edit them at the same time. I am using Atom as my editor choice. I tried to search online for answers but non found.

Solution

  • 1. Atom Commands

    Select all text (Cmd+A on Mac, Ctrl+A elsewhere), then use the shortcut to “split the selection into lines” (Cmd+Shift+L on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+L elsewhere). Both commands are also available from the command palette.

    PS: like many other keyboard shortcuts, these also work in Sublime Text

    2. RegEx Search & Replace

    Search for ^(.*)$ and replace with "$1",.
