regex - How to replace only first instance of text in notepad++ in multiple files? -


i'm working on updating website few changes , i've managed of changes multiple files using standard find , replace searches. there 1 error left on f/r need fix occurs several times throughout document , want replace first instance, time it's error.

 </div><div class="boxb">

that occurs 7 times in each file, first time need remove trailing, closing div. others correct.

i gather need use regular expression mode i've tried few examples , either don't work or still replace occurences, not first require.

also clear, don't know if makes difference, need multiple files, using 'find in files' rather 'replace'.

thanks

one way match whole content of file, replace parts still want keep. ensure whole file produces 1 match. method not yet tested, might slow on big file.

  1. just write regex per normal, add (.*?) in front , (.*) @ back:

    (.*?)pattern(.*)

    you should test (.*?)pattern on few files make sure matches first instance of text want remove.

  2. check checkbox ". matches newline".

  3. the replacement string may vary depending on regex, idea capture parts want keep in regex of step 1 , replace them in step.

    for example, if want remove matches pattern, use $1$2 replacement string.
