<p>I have quite a large list of words in a txt file and I'm trying to do a regex find and replace in Notepad++. I need to add a string before each line and after each line.. So that:</p>

<pre>
wordone
wordtwo
wordthree
</pre>

<p>become</p>

<pre>
able:"wordone"
able:"wordtwo"
able:"wordthree"
</pre>

<p>How can I do this?</p>

Assuming alphanumeric words, you can use:
```
```
Search  = ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)$
Replace = able:"\1"
```
```
Or, if you just want to highlight the lines and use "Replace All" & "In Selection" (with the same replace):
```
```
Search = ^(.+)$
```
```
```
^
```
points to the start of the line.
```
$
```
points to the end of the line.
```
\1
```
will be the source match within the parentheses.
