Search through whole line and change words with ize to ise using regex in Notepad++












1















I want to search all the words in a line/sentence and detect any word with ize and convert it to ise except for certain words listed.



Find: ^(?!size)(?!resize)(?!Belize)(?!Bizet)(?!Brize)(?!Pfizer)(?!assize)(?!baize)(?!bedizen)(?!citizen)(?!denizen)(?!filesize)(?!maize)(?!prize)(?!netizen)(?!seize)(?!wizen)(?!outsize)(?!oversize)(?!misprize)(?!supersize)(?!undersize)(?!unsized)(?!upsize)([a-zA-Z-s]+)ize



Replace: $1ise



So far all i get is the first word of the line with ize to work, or the last word with ize to work.



Example Organize to socialize whatever size.
To Organise to socialise whatever size.



Find (?i)(?!size|resize|Belize|so&so|unsized|upsize)(?<!w)(w+)ize

Replace $1ise


worked as intended. Capitalisation issues added (?i)

The regex ([a-zA-Z-s]+)ize has the whitespace marker in it (s) so it will will match anything beyond the word boundary. You might want to work with w and/or b to match only characters from the word where the "ize" is located. Additionally, you don't want the ^ at the beginning since this would match the start of the string.



Possible regex: (?!....your list....)(w+)ize



Example input: "Organize to socialize whatever size."



Found matches: "Organize" and "socialize", but not "size", see https://regex101.com/r/UIfoa8/1



After that you can use your replacement $1ise to replace the found string with the captured group and "ise".

Make a Whitelist Array




  • Make the excluded words (whitelist) an array of strings


  • .split(' ') the text being searched through (searchStr) into an array

  • then .map() through each word of the array


    • using .indexOf() to compare a word vs. the whitelist

    • using .test() to see if it's a x+"ize" word to .replace()



  • Once the searchArray is complete, .join() it into a string (resultString).




Demo



"organize", "mesmerized", "socialize", and "baptize" was mixed into the search string of some whitelist words




var searchStr = `organize Belize Bizet mesmerized Brize Pfizer assize baize bedizen citizen denizen filesize socialize maize prize netizen seize wizen outsize baptize`;

var whitelist = ["size", "resize", "Belize", "Bizet", "Brize", "Pfizer", "assize", "baize", "bedizen", "citizen", "denizen", "filesize", "maize", "prize", "netizen", "seize", "wizen", "outsize", "oversize", "misprize", "supersize", "undersize", "unsized", "upsize"];

var searchArray = searchStr.split(' ').map(function(word) {
var match;
if (whitelist.indexOf(word) !== -1) {
match = word;
} else if (/([a-z]+?)ize/i.test(word)) {
match = word.replace(/([a-z]+?)ize/i, '$1ise');
} else {
match = word;
}
return match;
});

var resultString = searchArray.join(', ');

console.log(resultString);
