[Ciszkowski, J. <Jac...@na...>]

Does anyone happen to have a similar example in Java?

A little PERL to get you on your way...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# Get your filename here
my $file=3D'inputfilename';
my $file2=3D$file.".bkp";

# open two files one to keep one to write to
open(INFILE, "<$file") || die "Couldn't open $file #!";
open(OUTFILE, ">$file2") || die "Couldn't open $file2 #!";

# Read in file
while(<INFILE>){
	$line=3D$_;
	# Test it in regex
	if($_=3D~/regexhere/i){
		# Format $line here and print it to your new file.
		print OUTFILE "$line formatted here however you choose...";
	}
=09
	# Or uncomment to use substitution and print it that way...
	#$line=3D~s///i;
} # End While
close(INFILE;
close(OUTFILE);
# P.S. There is always more cryptic but quicker ways to do things in =
PERL
# in fewer lines if you are bored...

Andy,
	PERL is definitly choice for what you are doing. I also am repeatedly =
replacing and formatting tons of text in log files and it only takes a =
couple lines of PERL code to get what you need quickly...

Always use the best tool available for the job. In this case, jEdit may=20
not be the best tool.

You say you're on Windows, but that does not cut you off from the Gnu=20
tools, since you still have access to the outstanding Cygwin=20
environment. In my Windows days, I could not possibly have done my=20
programming work without Cygwin.

Get it. Use it. You'll love it. It includes its own Perl as well as awk=20
(gawk), sed, grep / egrep, shells, cat, cut, paste, etc.
