I'm using a regular expression to find groups of text that I need to replace. But instead of replacing the actual text that I have selected, I want to simply append some text to the end of the line that has been returned. For example, if I search in the project, retrieving ten different lines of code, how to do I insert a specific string of text (e.g. "Put this text at the end of the line") at the end of each of those lines?
Is there a way to do this?
Yes. Match the entire line, memorize it, and replace it with itself plus appended text.
Find: ^(.*foo.*)$ Replace: $1 Put this text at the end of the line
Obviously you can use a more complex regex; in this case I was searching for "foo".
