Is it possible with sublime search/replace to change
print "<DIFFERENT CONTENT>"
to
print("<DIRRENT CONTENT>")
I found the solution:
Press CTRL+H (replace) and ALT+R (regex search) enter
print\s*(\"[^\"]*\") and replace it with print($1)

I need to find all <p>*any text here*</p> in my HTML file. How do I do it in Sublime?
Thanks!
Found the solution:
<p>((?s).*?)</p>
Press Ctrl+shift+F in sublime Text and, And in bottom-left corner you will find Regular Expression Button (On hovering you will get it) and then type your word in "Find:" Box followed by " * "
Eg: any text here*
does anyone know how to remove everything after the first space occurs in sublime text 3.
For example i have this file:
abcde fghi jklm
And i would like to have this output:
abcde
After searching a bit this is what worked for me:
In regular expression mode, search for:
\t.*
And replace with
Nothing
And a few years later...
Tested on macOS:
Use ⌥+⌘+F to popup the Find/Replace dialog.
Make sure the .* button is on (this enables the Regex mode).
Find: \ .*
Replace: don't type anything here
Obs: the \ in the regex is not strictly necessary, I just added it to emphasize the fact that there is a space in the string before the dot.
Obs2: the answer from the OP works only if you have tabs instead of spaces.
Press CtrlH to replace with regex, and use:
Find What: ^(\S+)\s?[^\n]*\n
Replace With: \1
I am trying to replace in Notepad++ using the Replace module, the below paragraph in html (i have 30 html file, and need to replace the below in all of them)
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var slideInterval=20000;
var slideTransition=3500;
var slideArray=["/background1.jpg","background2.jpg"];
jQuery.fx.interval=33;
// -->
</script>
But Notepad++ doesn't let me replace unless it's a line instead of a paragraph, and if i put everything on one line to replace, i will have another problems to worry about in my html.
I hope you have a work around on that.
I found a good way to use a multi-line "find" or "replace". I just copy pasted the paragraph into the Ctrl+H "find" field, then brought another paragraph and pasted it into the "replace" field. Notepad++ will show a tabbed space that means a line break. And voila, you can "Replace in all open documents" with just a single click.
N.B.: the "copy" operation should be within Notepad++, otherwise it would paste only the first line in either fields.
Update:
To be clearer about my answer, i found out that Notepad++ will let me only Paste once. That means, if i Copy a paragraph, i can paste it WITH its line break in the "find" field for example but if i paste it another time in the replace field, it will paste only the first line. Hence, no more than 1 "paste" operation is allowed into the Ctrl+H box in case i want to "paste" the line break.
So, in order for this to be done, first, i select any text i want and Ctrl+C on it, then, i go for the paragraph to be found, i just "Select" it and hit Ctrl+H: Notepad++ automatically shows the already selected text into the "find" field. Secondly, we "Paste" the text that's already in our clipboard into the "Replace" field. And the line breaks are here!
In brief: Select text --> Ctrl+C --> Select text --> Ctrl+H --> Ctrl+V in "replace field"
I think I found a guide that describes what you're looking for. The author has examples and the results, and some multi-line replacements are included. You should be able to extrapolate what he does over multiple files by clicking "Replace All in All Opened Documents".

How can I replace \n in Sublime Text with real in-editor displayed new line so:
foo\nbar
becomes:
foo
bar
in the editor when I view the file in it.
Turn on Regex Search and Replace (icon most to the left in search and replace bar or shortcut Alt + R)
Find What: \\n
Replace with: \n
Use Find > Replace, or (Ctrl+H), to open the Find What/Replace With Window, and use Ctrl+Enter to indicate a new line in the Replace With inputbox.
Fool proof method (no RegEx and Ctrl+Enter didn't work for me as it was just jumping to next Find):
First, select an occurrence of \n and hit Ctrl+H (brings up the Replace... dialogue, also accessible through Find -> Replace... menu). This populates the Find what field.
Go to the end of any line of your file (press End if your keyboard has it) and select the end of line by holding down Shift and pressing → (right arrow) EXACTLY once. Then copy-paste this into the Replace with field.
(the animation is for finding true new lines; works the same for replacing them)
On Windows, Sublime text,
You press Ctrl + H to replace \n by a new line created by Ctrl + Enter.
Replace : \n
By : (press Ctrl + Enter)
In Sublime Text (with shortcuts on Mac):
Highlight the text that you want to search to apply Find & Replace
Go to Menu > Find > Replace... (Keyboard Shortcut: Alt + Command + F)
In the Find & Replace tool, enable Regular Expression by clicking on the button which looks like [.*] (Keyboard Shortcut: Alt + Command + R)
In Find What, type: \\n
Note: The additional \ escapes the Regular Expression syntax when searched.
In Replace With, type: \n
Click on the 'Replace All' button (Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + Enter)
Your literal text \n will then turn into an actual line break.
What I did is simple and straightforward.
Enter Space or \n or whatever you want to find to Find.
Then hit Find All at right bottom corner, this will select all results.
Then hit enter on your keyboard and it will break all selected into new lines.
Open Find and Replace Option ( Ctrl + Alt + F in Mac )
Type \n in find input box
Click on Find All button, This will select all the \n in the text with the cursor
Now press Enter, this will replace \n with the New Line
On Mac, Shift+CMD+F for search and replace. Search for \n and replace with Shift+Enter.
None of the above worked for me in Sublime Text 2 on Windows.
I did this:
click on an empty line;
drag to the following empty line (selecting the invisible character after the line);
press Ctrl+H for replace;
input desired replacement character/string or leave it empty;
click "Replace all";
By selecting before hitting Ctrl+H it uses that as the character to be replaced.
For Windows line endings:
(Turn on regex - Alt+R)
Find: \\r\\n
Replace: \r\n
The easiest way, you can copy the newline (copy empty 2 line in text editor) then paste on replace with.
On MAC:
Step 1: Alt + Cmd + F . At the bottom, a window appears
Step 2: Enable Regular Expression. Left side on the window, looks like .*
Step 3: Enter text to you want to find in the Find input field
Step 4: Enter replace text in the Replace input field
Step 5: Click on Replace All - Right bottom.
ctrl+h
sample :
type: </>
replace: \n
down below , find button - change to ALT+R
you see changed eFFect in color , better to use sample
nice feature
I am very new to Sublime Text and I am sure this is a naive question. Watching the Multiple line selection at http://www.sublimetext.com/ (2/6 slide). Absolutely love it.
I understand that Ctrl (Cmd)+Shift+L "multiple-selects" so that we could do the edit simultaneously. However, in the demo, they also merge all the lines into 1 single line. What is the shortcut for that?
I used Ctrl+J but it just deletes once and not all the occurrences of new line.
I use TextPad and use Find/Replace \n with an empty space. But it seems that the person giving the demo uses some kind of shortcut.
A single command shortcut for merging multiple lines into 1 is "join lines".
Command + Shift + J on the Mac to join lines.
CTRL + Shift + J on Windows
Edit > Lines > Join Lines
Important note: This keyboard shortcut changed in versions of sublime text released after around mid-2021. For older versions, use Command + J, or CTRL + J.
Another approach is seen in the demo animations on sublimetext.com. Using multiple selections, Ctrl+Shift+L is used to split a selection into lines, and each line is then edited simultaneously. end + del will then remove all line breaks. This can be seen in slide 2/6 at http://sublimetexttips.com/7-handy-text-manipulation-tricks-sublime-text-2/
I think that, in the demo, he presses Del, with the cursor at the end of the line, in multiple selection. This way the \n is removed in every selected line.
ctrl+a and ctrl+j seems working on sublime text 3.
Editing
join Joins the following line to the current line, replacing all in between whitespace with a single space
http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/commands
Go to edit option in menu, Edit -> line -> join lines
Select the lines you want to merge and press Ctrl + j and if you want to make all file in 1 line then do Ctrl + a and Ctrl + j.
If you want to merge lines into one line that will also remove the starting, and ending space from the line, the following regex should work:
Find What: ^\s*(.+)\s*\n
Replace With: \1
Sublime Text 3 for Mac:
cmd + j no longer works and is now CMD + SHIFT + J
Join lines is a good command, but it adds spaces between the merged lines. To merge lines without spacing, the easiest way appears to be the following:
Find -> Replace (Command+Option+F on Mac)
Ctrl+Enter to enter newline to the Find What field.
Don't enter anything into the Replace With field.
Press Replace All.
I have been using a regex approach in Sublime Text 3, as follows:
Press Ctrl+H (in Windows) to show the "Find and Replace" dialog at the bottom.
In the "Find" field, use $\n\s* (end of line, carriage return and any arbitrary number of spaces following, including zero, which should be at the beginning of the next line).
The "Replace" field should be empty.
Hit "Replace All" or Alt+Ctrl+Enter.
This should do the trick!
