Find & Replace at beginning of a line Conrad Hoffman 12/9/2008 10:25:02 PM I just inserted 417 quotation marks at the beginning of 417 lines by hand. Is there any way to do this with Find & Replace? All the lines begin with different characters and have puncuation: 1374.62,-0.381 needs to look like: "1374.62","-0.381" All the other quotes were easy, but I couldn't figure out the leading one. Thanks, CH

RE: Find & Replace at beginning of a line Idaho Word Man 12/9/2008 11:56:01 PM Just for fun, try it like this: Find ^p Replace with ^p" I think that should work, unless you have other paragraph breaks that don't need a quotation mark after them. I hope this helps. Fred "Conrad Hoffman" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I just inserted 417 quotation marks at the beginning of 417 lines by hand. Is > there any way to do this with Find & Replace?

RE: Find & Replace at beginning of a line Conrad Hoffman 12/10/2008 5:15:02 PM Super! I never put 2 and 2 together to realize that anything after the paragraph mark must be the beginning of the next line. Thanks!
