Add break before specific word

[markosc]

Hi,

I have a text file and everything is in one line. I need to add break before specific word for example before “<Details”.

Example text:

[Gokul001 (Gokul Balaji)]

HI @markosc

You can use <br> before <Details

Gokul

Yes, but how do I add it in existing file

Hi @markosc ,
read the test file and store it in a string variable “str” and then use split operation:
str.Split(“<”c) and put it in an array.
Then loop the array and for each item append Enviromnet.NewLine to each item.

Then put the array string into a normal string by appending inside another loop and print that string with some some string manipulation.
You will get your result.

I am attaching the sample workflow for your reference.

Thanks & Regards,

have a look at this regex approach:

for the substitution any needed string (e.g. <br>, Environment.NewLine, combinations… can be used

we also handle defensive any occurrences of spaces between the tags.

Pattern:
(?<=>)(\s*?)(?=<Details)

Hi @markosc

You can try with this expression

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(YourString,"(?=<)|(?=< )","<br>").Tostring
