I can manually edit all the files in notepad but it takes a long time. Notepad++ is a programmers helper with many great features dedicated to programming. I need to search and replace a string. Easy enough.....Find "G" replace with "ERG" or somesuch. I need to do a multiple search and replacement based on the found text. Example: A couple lines of code reads % this clears the machine memory and is always on the first line. N1P00106123 the first N and number is the line number P is program number always on the second line N136G60X23.44Y1.34 G is a code that moves the machine X and Y are direction and distance codes. N137F4 F4 is the speed N138M00 M is a control character N139G71X22.890Y3.789 I need to add a space before the P G M or F on each line. I can but I have to run four search/replace routines. I would like to do one search/replace to save time. Can I search P|G|M|F and return a spaceP or spaceG etc. depending on whether a G M P or F is found? Or better can I search N137G or N1P and replace with spaceG or other depending on the find? If I get either of these to work can I renumber the lines AND do the search/replace after I modify the programs? I have played a couple days with it and searched the web quite well but can't get it sorted. I have made a macro that does part of it but would like to find a one click solution if possible. Thanks again guys for your help.

Our biggest contract is with Catapillar making HUGE underground mining equipment. Our second is frak tanks for the oilfield industries. Then many oddparts as needed. I have to program 6-7 programs a day and getting them to run efficiently in our antique ways is reDIKulous. Yes the plasma and laser are both for cutting.

In the replace with box, their is a space in front of the back slash, this is what tells notepad to add a space so this is very important.. If you add it correctly it should search for all instances of either G M P F and add a space in front of any instance that it finds So if you do it correctly it should turn this: Into this

Thanks guys! Also the newest version of notepad dropped the textFX drop downs but they can be replaced by dragging the textFX dll into the right folder.
