In Google Sheets, I want to replace one value like "old_example" into "new_example" in only one specific column. How can I replace?
I know Ctrl+F to find and replace for value in whole spreadsheets but I want to replace from only one specific column.
all you need is to press CTRL + H and do:

I'm working in Google Sheets.
One column in my dataset has messy attribution data.
I'm looking for a way to use Find + Replace to find all text up to and including certain words, like "by" and "attributed to", and replace them with nothing, leaving the rest of the string in the cell intact. I know this is very simple but I'm new to regular expressions; I appreciate your help!
I have never used Google Sheets, but the following find and replacement should work:
Find:
^.*attributed to(.*)$
Replace:
$1
This would assume you want to remove everything up to and including the last occurrence of the text attributed to.
Maybe try .+by|.+attributed to.
I have a log statement that looks like this:
Log.debug("text={}", "something");
That I want to replace with:
Log.debug("something");
Instead of doing a ctrl+F and going one by one to replace this is there a way to replace everything at once with any combination of intelliJ macros + scripting + regex?
There are two ways of doing this:
1.) You could use the ctrl + f way, but search for the entire statement
Log.debug("text={}", "something");
and then go to the replace textbox and type the desired statement
Log.debug("something");
and then just hit the Replace All option.
2.) The other way is with a regex, but you will invest more time in creating a regex that match what you need and then replace it with the statement you want. I recommend you using the first way since it would minimize the time invested.
EDIT.
There are 2 more ways:
The 3rd way, you could use the Add Selection for Next Occurrence short cut (hit ALT+CTRL+S and search for that option and see its shortcut or assign one if there isn't one) and then just highlight the statement you want and hit that shortcut until you find them all and then type the desired statement.
The 4th way, highlight the statement and hit the Rename... shortcut (find the shortcut the same way explained on the 3rd way) and it will refactor all the matches.
Careful with the last one because intellij sometimes match all those occurrencies in all the project/projects you have open at that time in the same project structure; Of course, you could check and uncheck the ones you want to change and those who you don't want to.
Let me know if any of these possible solutions worked for you =).
Ok, so what I'm trying to do now is take all the information off an Excel Input (all String columns), and then of these columns I want to make an specific filter for one of them, more specific on column NO_BIEN, this specific expression.
[0-9]+(.[0-9][0-9]?)?
I make a Filter Rows operation and click on the REGEXP filter but I don't see where can I paste the expression because all I can see if to add a String.
Place the regular expresssion in the filter-field "value"
Using sublime text to find a model number in sublime text. I can find the regular expression but I want to add some formatting to what it finds. For Example, a model number may be
J627TS4
but then I want to do a find and replace and make it into.
J627TS4
Is this possible in SublimeText. I have to add it to 300+ models on a chart and I am looking for an easier way. Thanks!
Try this:
Find:
([A-Z]\d{3}[A-Z]{2}\d)
Replace
$1
I have these words: TOP and LOCK. I have 49 times this word but I would like to replace it with a different word a lot of times. For example, the first time with luc and the second times with pile.
I would like to make it automatically. I have the list of the replace words in a text file. I use Notepad++.
I have searched on many sites, but cannot find a good solution.
I don't have notepad ++ but can you highlight and right click there's an option to replace? or highlighting it then clicking format at the top and clicking replace and finally using Ctrl + F and replacing it that way? sorry if i could not help :)
try this:
tap ctrl + F
you can look at this pisture to get the picture:

Hope it help you
Highlight TOP
Press Search on top menu bar
Go to Replace
Under Find What, in Replace with field type what you want to replace it with
Then hit Replace All
You will then see the changes
I'm not very familiar with Notepad++ but I can do this with Sublime Text. I guess it doesn't hurt for you to try it out.
First, select all the words you want to replace with multiple cursor mode. Basically you can find TOP|LOCK with regular expressions, and hit Alt+Enter to convert the found words to multiple cursors.
Second, copy the words you want to replace and use the Text Pastry plugin to paste them in, one word at each cursor.
