I'm using Sublime Text 3 on Ubuntu 18.04. I need to do a Search and Replace across 100+ pages in a project directory. I'd like to do this with a regex, if possible, but I cannot figure out how to do it.
I want to find tabindex="nbr" where nbr is an actual number. I.e: tabindex="2". I want to replace every instance with tabindex="0".
I've tried this:
Find: tabindex="\d"
Where: /home/me/path/to/project/
Replace: tabindex="0"
But this does not work. I get a 0 matches found pop up. I've tried other regex's with the same 0 matches found message.
This has to be easier than I am making it.
Thanks for any advice.

I've been trying to use Thunderbird with expression search and ImportExportTools Add-on to look for a specific pattern in my emails, which worked to some degree at least. But now I'm unable to create a rule which would export the matches (and not any text before and after the pattern I searched for). I also tried using Libreoffice Calc but it's taking much longer to search and freezes doing so plus it also marks the whole line in which the pattern I searched for is found. I'd be really glad if anyone could help me out by suggesting a way to achieve my goal!
Expresso by Ultrapico Editor regex search does the trick
Some files stopped appearing when using the silver searcher in vim... and I just figured out that it happens when certain emoji combinations are inside the file. Even if those emojis are further down, after the term I'm looking for, the file doesn't show up in search results.
I removed emojis, and ta-da file is included in search results again.
It's only certain emojies, When I leave this emoji in:
... then there's no problem.
However if I have a line that looks like this:
diff is like this:
then it doesn't show up in search results.
Why could this be?

I'm trying to figure out how to display 👧🏽 using markup that doesn't make ag exclude the file.
This is as close as I've gotten: 👧 🏽
Perhaps because they are interpreted as a binary file. Add a "--search-binary" to your search to circumvent this feature:
ag --search-binary "pattern"
Friend of mine took a look and found that this:
https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher/blob/e081d080d1cc0ac24c7ca5f7da6fc4c9dfe35d0b/src/util.c#L324
might be the reason.
" The reason (which you'll detect if you run "ag -a Elixir") is that the color codes somehow makes ag think you're looking at a binary. "
I'm off to try to create an issue.
I've looked around quite a bit for an answer to this, but I cannot seem to find what I need. Is it possible with SublimeText3 > Find in Files to do a search for all files that DO NOT include a string?
I've tried toggling the Regular Expressions button beside "Find:" and entering a value, but I'm not a regex pro, so I may be doing it wrong?
For example, I want to find all files in a designated folder that DO NOT have the following string:
social-links
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Search for all files in your directory in question (for anything, like a space or the letter e...assuming every file has a space or letter e!), and copy all those file-paths to a new file.
Search for all files with the word, and paste that path-list into a second file.
Sort both files, then compare them to see which lines--which paths--are missing from the has-the-word file. Those are the ones you want.
As far as a single find-in-files search, I don't see how you would do that in Sublime or any other basic text editor. Here is some more information:

Good luck!
I've tried search for this but have been unable to find anything on this. Basically, I'd like to be able to search the project that I'm working on but only search files with certain file extensions. Currently it searches everything and this adds time to the search that will never return results for what I'm looking for. Is there a way to do this or am I just out of luck?
Does your search dialog not look like this?
Ctrl + H or Search > Search will bring up this dialog which allows you to put in a file name pattern to limit your search... what are you doing?
I've export my bookmarks from FF in to a html file but it's too huge and complicated, so I need to remove some firefox lines from it to make it more lighter and plain.
I can replace basic things in the Notepad++ but I guess I do need some operators for this and I have no idea how to make it work right.
For example here is the line from the file containing a link to Logodesignlove :
Logo Design Love
I need to remove all those tags I don't care about, like LAST_MODIFIED="1256428672", ICON_URI="bunch of digits" ICON="bunch of characters" etc.
And of course I need to remove all those tags in every link in the list.
So I was thinking like use something like "Find all tags LAST_MODIFIED="anynumbers" and replace it with nothing/remove it" - it doesn't work though.
Examle how it should like:
Logo Design Love
So far I removed LAST_MODIFIED and ADD_DATE lines thanks to Aleksandr. So LAST_MODIFIED="\d+" worked just fine. But ICON and ICON_URI are still there. I've tried ICON="\w+" - but it doesn't work. I guess it has something to do with the slashes.
Why look for what you don't want when it's easier to keep hold of what you do want and drop the junk?
(<A HREF=".*?").*?(>.*?>)
with
$1$2
Code edited to suit Notepad++ now I know it doesn't need the special chars escaped. Thanks Aleksandr.
Read up on using regular expressions (the java regex tutorials are a good start http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/regex/), and try one of the online regex tools to help write and test it, such as this one http://gskinner.com/RegExr/
Eg, remove "LAST_MODIF..." with the regex LAST_MODIFIED="\d+"
Otherwise, you may want an XML-specific tool, or even write an XSL. However, I don't know much about that.
