Hi,
I was trying to use RegEx to combine the following lines in Atom
00
00
08
into something like:
00:00:08
I used the following commands:
Find: ([0-9][0-9])\R([0-9][0-9])\R([0-9][0-9])
Replace: $1:$2:$3
However, even though I could successfully identify all those 3-line instances, the replacement doesn’t work…
Is there any suggestion on how to do this with RegEx?
Thank you very much!
Find: (\d{2})\n(\d{2})\n(\d{2})
Replace: $1:$2:$3
I think the key-change is replacing \R with \n, then your pattern will work as well. To be honest, I’ve never seen a capital \R – what is supposed to do?
Thank you for your suggestion!
(\d{2})\n(\d{2})\n(\d{2}) doesn’t seem to work.
\R means line break. My initial code ([0-9][0-9])\R([0-9][0-9])\R([0-9][0-9]) identifies the relevant patterns, but the replacement doesn’t work well…
Q.E.D.
Are you not confusing this with the lowercase \r? That’s for carriage return, but not for actual line-break. MS-DOS and Windows both use CR+LF by default, so the combination \r\n is commonly used on these platforms.
Thank you very much!
I found that I need to use \r\n instead of just \n to make the command work on my laptop.
I really appreciate your help.
