I'm trying to search through text in Notepad++ for certain "line pairs" (lineA
, lineB
) to concatenate them and discard anything else.
Each Line Pair
lineA
must contain a commalineB
is the closest line that followslineA
while also containing the word "Proximity"
Sample Text
1 "SCOTT, Michael"
2 "Office Manager"
3 "Card Number Card Format Disabled"
4 "0273ADNC PAC Proximity Reader False"
5 "Random rubbish"
6 "SCHRUTE, Dwight"
7 "Card Number Card Format Disabled"
8 "0897FFRF PAC Proximity Reader False"
Concatenated Text:
1 "SCOTT, Michael;0273ADNC PAC Proximity Reader False"
2 "SCHRUTE, Dwight;0897FFRF PAC Proximity Reader False"
- concatenated lines are delimited with a semicolon to help me parse them later
- extra lines 2, 3, 5, and 7 from "Sample Text" were discarded
