I'm not really good with Regular expression, but I'm trying to run a "Replace All" on a conditional regular expression search.

In my regex search (results(.*)continue), I'm trying to find the word "continue" on lines that also have the word "results". Is there any to replace "continue" of just these search results other than manually changing them?

example:

Results(.*)Continue
This sentence contains the word continue.
Results 2(.*)Continue

to

Results(.*)End
This sentence contains the word continue.
Results 2(.*)End

Thank you.

Not sure if it is the most efficient, but try the following:

  • Find what: (?<=Results)(.+)Continue
  • Replace with: \1End
  • Search mode: Regular expression

  • This is great! Sorry to ask for additional help, but is there any way to refine the original search? Would it be possible to search for lines that contain: results, continue; and excludes: testing
