Rearrange text using Find/Replace in Atom

I have a piece of code in Atom that looks like this:

replace party ="0001" "FEDERALIST"                                           
replace party ="0008" "ANTI-DEMOCRAT"                                        
replace party ="0009" "JEFFERSON REPUBLICAN"

And I want it to look like this:

replace party ="FEDERALIST" "0001"                                            
replace party ="ANTI-DEMOCRAT" "0008"                                         
replace party ="JEFFERSON REPUBLICAN" "0009"

I know I can use regular expressions to find the relevant pieces of text, but I was not able to find a way to rearrange the order of the code within each line. I was wondering if something like finding "[\d]{4}" and replacing it with \"[A-Z- ]+\" is possible.

You may use

Find What:     ("\d{4}") ("[^"]*") *$
Replace With: $2 $1

See the regex demo.

Details

  • ("\d{4}") - Capturing group 1: ", 4 digits and "
  • - a space
  • ("[^"]*") - Capturing group 2: ", 0+ chars other than " and then "
  • * - 0+ spaces
  • $ - end of line.
