I'm looking for a way to lowercase selected BACKTICKED text using a regex in Notepad++
Here's an example string:
Select * FROM `Weird_TEXT` WHERE
And the desired output:
Select * FROM `weird_text` WHERE
I can find these strings (including the backticks) using the regex:
(?<=FROM )(.*)(?= WHERE)
`Weird_TEXT`
But I can't figure out how to replace the text as lowercase, I've tried using the following:
\1\L\2\L
\1\L\2\L\3
EDIT:
When I click Find Next in Notepad++, the backticks around the word Weird_TEXT are included in the selection. Could this be why the RegEx isn't working?
Just put this in the replace box:
\L$1

I am trying to do an advanced text search and replace in a text editor (I can use SublimeText or VSCode)
Input:
parameters['myParameter1']
parameters['myParameter2']
Expected output:
myParameter1
myParameter2
And I have hundreds of similar scenario in the file. So that's why I'm thinking of using regex to solve this.
Thanks
Hope this will help you out.
Regex demo
Regex search: parameters\['([^']+)'\]
1. parameters\[' this will match parameters[' Optinally if you have other keywords then parameters and which can be dynamic for that you can use [a-zA-Z]+ this will include all lower case and upper case.
2. ([^']+) this will match all except ', () will capture first match in $1.
3. '\] this will match ending ']
Replacement: $1
Note: If you are using gedit ubuntu you have to replace it with \1
VSCode can search all files in a directory, and it supports RegExp too!
Use ctrl+shift+f to search all files, hit the .* icon for RegExp.
A search expression such as parameters['(.*)'] replaced with $1 should work!

I suck at regular expressions and what to do a simple find and replace of '}' to '} /n' notepad++ can recongise what I'm after as it has the 3 options of normal find and replace, special chars and full regex. I however only ever used to option two. How can I enable special characters in my search using sublime text 2.
Cheers
Joe,
In sublime you can use find & replace. Drag the replace panel large enough and use cmd + enter to go to a new line.
Hit replace all:
And thats it your sorted chap
If you want to replace } within notepad++ with } \n you can use the following rules:
find: }
Replace with: } \n
Searchmethod: Extended (\n, \e...)
Press replace all
I have following lines
GetAuthServerList
GetAuthServerConfiguration
AddAuthServer
I have to convert them to
GET_AUTH_SERVER_LIST
GET_AUTH_SERVER_CONFIGURATION
and so on.
I tried to replace ([A-Z][a-z]+) with \1_ in sublime text editor, but it is replacing the last search also. How do I skip the last match of the line?
Can I simultaneously insert _ and make the lower case to uppercase in one replacement?
Find what : ([a-z])([A-Z])
Replace with: \1_\2
You have an option to convert selection to uppercase in sublime text.
I don't have sublime installed, but try this:
[a-z](?=[A-Z])
replace it with &_
or
replace ([a-z])(?=[A-Z]) with \1_
in vim it would be:
%s/\v[a-z]([A-Z])#=/&_/g
A little modification using negative lookahead should help
([A-Z][a-z]+)(?!$)
Using RegEx search and replace with Sublime Text 2, how can I replace my pattern matches (n) with n+1? And if there is no way to do this with search and replace, is there another easy way to do it?
My RegEx pattern is ^(\d{1,4})\n, and I'd like to be able to do $1+1, which currently just outputs the match with a literal "+1".
Regex is the wrong tool for that function. However, there is Sublime Text plugin just to do what you want: "Sublime Text plugin to increment/decrement all selected numbers"
I want to replace all the url's which are starting with something like www.sitename.com/xxx/xxx.html and the last part of the string is different on each url. Is there any formula in notepad++ which replace the whole string with "#" or any custom character ?
Bring on the Find and Replace dialog, select Replace (Ctrl+H)
Search mode: Regular expression
Find what: www\.sitename\.com/\w+/\w+\.html
Replace with: # (or anything you wish)
This will replace URLs of the type you've provided in question (www.sitename.com/xxx/xxx.html)
Press Ctrl+H to bring up the replace window. Enter this in the Find what: section:
www\.sitename\.com(/\w+)*\.?\w*
and anything you want (#) in the Replace with:. Make sure that Search Mode is on Regulare Expression and the hit the Find next, Replace or Replace All
This will replace all the URLs beginning with www.sitename.com and ending with and extension (.html, .jpg, ...)
