I couldn't see a way to get a 100% solution with just one grep run, but this works for items that have two, but not when there's three. If you run the same regex replace all multiple times it will accommodate more than two. Find: ((\w+_\d+_\d+).*\.jpg)(\r(\2(.*\.jpg))) Replace with: \1,\4 -Ken

Thanks. I sort of knew it was something ridiculous that was causing the problem. Now I shall hang my head in shame, I kiss your feet in gratitude and I am going to get all those records updated. I was seriously thinking of doing it the hard way. Data base migrations from Oracle or MySQL to

You have a missing space after the first comma: >>, '\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d',<< instead of ,'\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d',< Le 7 août 2012 à 06:43, Steven a écrit : > A sample line is INSERT INTO books (title, topic_id, description, > date_aquired,

A sample line is INSERT INTO books (title, topic_id, description, date_aquired, book_id, pages, w_index, w_bibliography, pub_date, subtitle, w_illustration, w_maps) VALUES('Humans', 14, 'Then end of the world, maybe, maybe not', '2009-01-01 10:52:39', 1, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, NULL, 0, 0); and I wan

As maarten guessed, I am trying to remove 560 instances of a date from an SQL file. So I am looking for a way to grab everything from one comma to the other and including the quotes, all the numbers and dashes and dots and replace it with one single comma, Maarten's method didn't work either
