Need to ADD special character '♪' to the END of SINGLE and DOUBLE line strings
Below is the BEFORE and AFTER of the results I'm trying to achieve.
Assume this will be done with two separate find/replace inputs.
At the bottom you will find my feeble regex attempts using NotePad .

Replace: $1 ♪
Add Music Note to END of DOUBLE LINE STRING:
Find: (?=♪)(.*)\r\n([A-Za-z] ?)
Replace: $1\r\n$2 ♪
Thanks in Advance
CodePudding user response：
Another option might be using:
^(♪\h [A-Za-z].*?(?:\R[A-Za-z].*?)?)♪?$
Explanation
^Start of string(Capture group 1♪\h [A-Za-z]Match ♪, 1 spaces, a char A-Za-z.*?Match any char as least as possible(?:\R[A-Za-z].*?)?Optionally match the next line if it starts with A-Za-z
)Close group 1♪?Match an optional ♪$End of string
CodePudding user response：
/^(♪.*?)(?=(?:\R^$)|\z)/$1 ♪/gms
^ ^ ^ the regex
^ ^ replacement
^ flags
With the edit (where it seems some of the entries already have the ending note) you can modify the regex to be:
/^(♪[^♪]*?)(?=(?:\R\R)|\z)/$1 ♪/gm
CodePudding user response：
It can be done in a single search/replace.
Use this regex for search:
^(?:♪ )?([A-Z].*?)(?: ♪)?$(?:(\n. ?)(?: ♪)?$)?
Replace it with:
♪ $1$2 ♪
RegEx Breakup:
^: Start(?:♪ )?: Match♪as an optional match([A-Z].*?): Match an uppercase character followed by any text till end of line in capture group #1(?: ♪)?$: Match♪as an optional match before line end(?:: Start non-capture group(\n. ?): Match line break followed by 1 of any char till end of line in capture group #2(?: ♪)?$: Match♪as an optional match before line end
)?: End non-capture group.?makes this optional♪ $1$2 ♪is replacement that wraps our matches with♪
