Answer 1

Here is an example for quotes every 3 lines, just modify the number to add quotes every 50 lines.

• Ctrl+H
• Find what: (?:.+\R){2}.+
• Replace with: "$0"
• TICK Wrap around
• SELECT Regular expression
• UNTICK . matches newline
• Replace all

Explanation:

(?:         # non capture group
    .+          # 1 or more any character but newline
    \R          # any kind of linebreak
){2}        # end group must appear twice, in your case, you have to use 49 instead of 2
.+          # 1 or more any character but newline

Replacement:

"$0"        # whole match sround with quotes
