Insert a new line text after a line containing specific text

Charles Carmichael

Hi,

I’m a complete novice to Notepad++ and I was wondering whether someone could provide me with clear easy instructions on how to insert a new line (with text) in multiple locations of an XML file.

For example I want to add a line of text containing"<CONDITION>N</CONDITION>" to the following block after the line that contains </MINQUANTITY>

So it would be:
<ITEM>
<ITEMTYPE>P</ITEMTYPE>
<ITEMID>3666</ITEMID>
<COLOR>1</COLOR>
<MINQTY>2</MINQTY>
</ITEM>

to
<ITEM>
<ITEMTYPE>P</ITEMTYPE>
<ITEMID>3666</ITEMID>
<COLOR>1</COLOR>
<MINQTY>2</MINQTY>
<CONDITION>N</CONDITION>
</ITEM>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Charles

Many ways to achieve it; IMO the best way is:

Find: </MINQTY>(\R)
Replace: $0<CONDITION>N</CONDITION>${1}
Search mode: Regular expression

But perhaps that won’t be exactly right because you lost leading whitespace from your real data when you posted? Oh, well…
