I am looking for an option like ‘search and replace’ but then ‘search and insert, whit as sub-choices, insert before / insert after a character or word.

I’ll try to explain why:
As a professional translator i often have .js files to translate. Some of them are not regularly formatted and i have to format them by hand which is a lot of work. All strings are some times in one enormous long line (files are some 200KB or bigger) where i have to look for comma’s, :{, and other tags to insert a LF/CR and then insert one two or tree TABS. See below (the words in single quotes are the to be translated strings):

tinyMCE.addI18n({'en':{'dlg':{modified:'Modified',file:'File',folder:'Folder',files:'files',folders:'folders',comments:'Comments',size:'Size',preview:'Preview',duration:'Duration',dimensions:'Dimensions',contents:'Contents',unwritable:'Unwritable' etc. etc.

It should be manually formatted as:

tinyMCE.addI18n({'en':{

	'dlg'

		:{

			modified:'Modified',

			file:'File',

			folder:'Folder',

			files:'files',

			folders:'folders',

			comments:'Comments',

			size:'Size',

			preview:'Preview',

			duration:'Duration',

			dimensions:'Dimensions',

			contents:'Contents',

			unwritable:'Unwritable'

	 etc. etc. 

It would be great to have this work automated in emEditor in the near future. This is what i mean whit a new option like ‘search and insert’.

Kind regards, Z. ;)

Sorry, i don’t understood.
I see nothing which is “insert before / insert after”.

Rather i see an “break at comma” reformating.

I would do it like this:
– format the first lines yourself till the “modified:”

– next do an search&replace:
Find: ,
Replace with: ,n
[X]Use Escape Sequence

– next do the indenting

@Yutaka, this search&replace doesn’t respect this setting:
“Configuration – General tab – Tab/Indent > [X]Enable Auto Indent”
I had expected it would be auto -indent with s&r n too.

Thanks for your hint Stefan.

I find it still to much work though, I need a more precise way without all the hassle. It is not only just replacing a character sequence but I am looking for a smooth and mistake-less way because the jscript code has to stay in tact and that isn’t always the case this way. It is however a way to give it a try, better anyway then doing all the string separations by hand.
