Meld or Join Two Text Files

[nkor...@gmail.com]

Or, maybe some other....

 

I want to place “pause” in between every line of a long batch file.  (Actually, a list of URLs to bring up in Edge)

 

Thinking of making a whole bunch of lines with “pause” in separate file.  Then ‘meld’ the two files?

 

Thoughts greatly appreciated.

 

Maybe there already is a little program specifically made for doing this?

I wouldn't solve the problem like that at all.  Just use search and replace:  Search string: "$"  Replacement: "\npause"  Options: "gnx"

Well, at first glance, as usual, seemed daunting.

 

But not so hard, by other means.

 

Could someone help me put it into a macro please?

 

Load URL list into TSE.

Search and Replace.  Search for end-of-line, RegEx.

Replace with backslash n and pause.

Thanks, David.  You hit the nail on the head.

 

Well, also, after searching for such a ‘meld’ operation, nothing came up.

OK, just back from 2 weeks wave surfing and adventures in Portugal.

To do that is very easy:

1. For example these are your example lines

a

b

c

d

e

2. Do a Escape > Search > Replace... 

as usual from the TSE menu

and choose for 'Search for:' this

(that means 'end of the line')

$

3. then choose for 'Replace with:'

(that means a line break (=\n) followed by that word 'pause')

\npause

4. then choose for options

(that means 'n'o confirm, 'g'lobal, 'i'gnore case, regular e'x'pression)

ngix

5. After pressing 'enter' you will or should see

a

pause

b

pause

c

pause

d

pause

e

pause

6. That is all...

with friendly greetings
