Good day
Good day all, i come back for help once again, does somebody knows a program or something related in which if i have a huge amount of information with the same pattern and i just want to change a few things, helps me so i dont have to do it one by one?

(ss) blablablabla (ss) (ss2) blablablabla (ss2)
(ss) blablablabla (ss) (ss3) blablablabla (ss3)
(a2)i am noob indeed(a2) etc etc----
(ss) blablablabla (ss)
(a2)i am noob yes i am(a2)
(ss) blablablabla (ss)

what exactly are you trying to ask? most text editors have a "find and replace" function which can swap one string anywhere it occurs in a document for another specified string. if you want a more complex transformation, you will need to use something which supports regular expressions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression). the two options i would suggest for something like that would be sed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed) (if you're using a unix-like system, including osx), or perl (http://www.perl.org/), which is a scripting language with fantastic regex support and runs on all the major operating systems.

ok thanks.... and please stop the mass downgrade >.>

If you mean the mass downrating it was probably done for a reason (especially the wifi network hacking thread and even moreso the fact a second topic was made immediately after the first got locked). However if you ever have concerns about suspicious post rating activity or intentional mass downrating by a single member then contact an admin if they are active posting.
