Because you aren't allowed to, or because you don't know how to? It makes a big difference in the answer ... What have you tried? Where are you stuck? What help do you need?

I can’t use regular formulas

I have all the files containing:

Work09Document2022”se_meta”:9001
Work09Document2022”se_meta”:9002
Work09Document2022”se_meta”:9003
Work09Document2022”se_meta”:9004
Work09Document2022”se_meta”:9005
.
.
.
(and so on)

I basically have to look for initials
(Wildcard)“se_meta”:90

And I have to replace

Work09Document2023”se_meta”:90

Thanks for your help

For the REGEX program or also NOTEPAD++

Thanks and best regards

For a manual process, use something like PowerRename[^]. If you want to do this in code, you're going to need to provide a lot more detail. But since you keep ignoring OG's questions, I won't hold my breath.

Thanks for your help,
that's not what I'm interested in. Find and replace within the file

I think we are witnessing a Miracle Of Life: the birth of a Help Vampire. Fascinating - you don't often get to see them in the wild until they are at least 3 years old ... :-D

What's a "regular formula"? Are you talking about "regular expressions"? You're not going to get any answers to whatever question you have until you spell out, in detail, the actual question.

Given the conversation here and that you were equally sparse on words in your question on the Notepad++ forum https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/25021/regular-formulas it does seem that you don't read the replies properly and respond with a LOT more information. If it wasn't for the pigeon English feel I'd almost say this is an AI conversation. Terry
