insert between problem

Post by CoSmO »

I try to modify => 'myimage.jpg' to 'http://webserver/images/myimage.jpg'

So myimage will change constantly, so i wish to search for myimage.jpg' so that i can insert the http in front of myimmage and after the first '.

I would think [a-z].jpg' and then insert in front. But i use the demo version and it dont do anything with [a-z] only if i type the full name or .jpg or something like that .

I tried several things with version 2.3, but i always failed in my attemt.
Is there any way to make this work?

Friendly greetings.

Go to Batch replace tab, check on "Use regular expressions".
Put into the grid, search for:
'([a-z]+\.jpg)'

Replace with:
'http://webserver/images/$1'

So in your first message you forgot to escape . (dot) because it's
reserved char. And you should have more than one char a-z so you
should add + (plus).

That's all I verified it works perfectly.
