Is there a grep to find and change after a number input a force line break?
I have some like this
"1651651 John Doe"
The number is variable , and the name too.
I want to do that
"1651651
John Doe"

1"grep" does not modify files. It only searches them. Maybe you want a `sed` or `awk` script? – Raymond Chen Jan 05 '22 at 17:25

Are you trying to do this with GREP styles or a search and replace? – cybernetic.nomad Jan 05 '22 at 18:48

With GREP you can find a some variable. Say, a 'custom text variable' ~u. But it will be any 'custom text variable'. GREP tool can't tell if the variable contains the number of the name.
Or, if you sure that the first variable is a number and second one is a name always, you can use something like this:
Find what: (~u) (~u)
Replace to: ($1)\n\n($2)
Probably the task can be accomplished with a script. It depends on what exactly you have and what you want to get.
