Search & Replace

[R B COHEN]

1 _GCID 94D0C28F-7346-4AC7-96D1-147294BADAF1

FIND: Entire line where alphanumic (with hyphen) varies per. 

REPLACE: with nothing, move next line up in its place.

Have over 61,000 of them! So once I know it works with Replace, would like to use Replace All.

I then need to Find & Replace:

FIND: 1 AFN  123.123.123 

REPLACE:

1 FACT 123.123.123  \n

2 TYPE Reference

(in all cases, the alphanumeric following FACT must match the AFN )

Not sure if I need a second \n after "Reference". The example of "123.123.123" has two other scenarios so would run this 3 times using Replace & Find.

Hey R B,

Is this the start of the line?

Are these always _GCID numbers?

Is the hyphenated alphanumeric string always 36 characters?

Something like this:

Find:

(?-i)^.*[0-9A-Z]{8}-[0-9A-Z]{4}-[0-9A-Z]{4}-[0-9A-Z]{4}-[0-9A-Z]{12}.*\n?

Replace:

Nothing

I then need to Find & Replace:

FIND:

1 AFN  123.123.123 

REPLACE:

1 FACT 123.123.123  \n

2 TYPE Reference

Something like this:

Find:

(\d+)\h+AFN\h+\b(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\b

Replace:

\1 FACT \2\n2 TYPE Reference\n

Best Regards,

GEDitCom finally replied that there is option to turn the code off. Had no idea! So that deletes needing to replace the  1 _PLACE and the unique id 1 _GCID. I'm left with the 1 AFN.  Will try your suggestion.
