Question

I need to simple insert an equal symbol (=) onto every line of text I have copied from a spreadsheet. For example, I have copied 2 singular columns looking like:

Column A       Column B
Manchester     192.168.1.10
London         192.168.1.11
New York       192.168.1.12

I have copied these 2 columns into Notepad++ and now I have:

Manchester 192.168.1.10
London 192.168.1.11
New York 192.168.1.12

Which is fine… however I now to need make each line have ‘=’ in, between location name and IP address, for example:

Manchester = 192.168.1.10
London = 192.168.1.11
New York = 192.168.1.12

Does anyone have any ideas how to do this? I know how to get the equal symbol to record in the macro, but can’t get the macro to do this for every line!

Answer 1

If every IP address begins with 192. you can simply CTRL+H and replace all occurances of ‘ 192.’ with ‘ = 192.’
