Add a line

[CJB]

I want to add a line after a specific line multiple times in a block of code. For example: I want to add “The color Red” after " The color Blue" where “The color Blue” line is in the block a hundred times.

I find the question ambiguous.

Do you want to find a specific line which exists multiple times throughout a file, then add a single line after each instance? And the might be a hundred of the instances.
OR
Do you want to add a specific line 100 times after each time another line exists?

@cjb ,

Use regular expression searching. Specifically,

• FIND = The color Blue(\R)\K
  • (\R) will match your line ending and put it in group#1
  • the \K will reset the match “cursor” so that the replacement will go after the newline
• REPLACE = The color Red${1}
  • the ${1} will put the contents of group#1 (your newline sequence) at the end of the new text
• SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression
• REPLACE ALL
  • cannot do one replacement at a time because of the \K
