Re: Search/Replace suggestion

Hi, did you try the beanshell snippet replacement ?

Imagine you have that buffer :

Hello world 1 3
yopla 2 7


search for 

(.*) (\d+) (\d+)

and replace it with (select beanshell snippet instead of text just under the replace textarea) 

{_1 + ' ' + (Integer.valueOf(_2)+Integer.valueOf(_3));}

Maybe it could help ?
