I need to replace all the words (with textpad) that start with www_ and end with _com. I tried following their Regular Expressions help files but I had no luck. The rest of the text (between www_ & _com)varies so I would need a wildcard thingie. If it wasn't thousands of entries, I'd do it by hand...
can anyone help?
thanks in advance,

Can you do it in two sweeps? (First do the www_ then go back and do the _com.)

Well, you can use the regular expression checkbox, then type in
www.*.com
But of course its going to change them all to the same thing. But you can use various wildcard stuff that way.
