IDEA:two options text manipulation tool

(1/2) > >>

rapstar:
Hey, i need a simple tool which manipulates text strings. Two options are crucial: a) add needed text in the beginning of each line and b) replace everything from text to find till the end of the line with desired text.

I guess this could be done in like notepad++ with regexps but i failed to make an expression.

My strings are like
mp3search.com/search.php?artist=Janis+Joplin
--- End quote ---
and i need to add http:// in the beginning of each line and replace from artist= till the end of string with what i want... used to work manually, bit here come thousands of 'em  :-\

skwire:
Do you already have a list of artists you want to search?

mouser:
Many clipboard tools can do this kind of thing, including my Clipboard Help+Spell.  They are a bit overkill if you don't need the clipboard and text formatting features regularly.

ps. Thumbs up for Janis Joplin, one of the greats  :up:

I was going to offer my ListNumberer app as a way to do what he wants.  He can just paste in his list of search terms and then use "http://mp3search.com/search.php?artist=" as a prefix.

And a very nice app it is too.  :up: :up:    (Just the job for this task.)
