Duplicate lines

[canis]

For example I have this text:

line1
line2
line3
...
lineN

I need it to become:

line1=line1
line2=line2
line3=line3
...
lineN=lineN

I use this perl pattern: search ^(.*)$ - replace with $1=$1 (thanks to support team), but I have this:

line1
=line1
line2
=line2
line3
=line3
....


How to join lines by pair?

Excuse me, where is it?

P.S. ok, I've found. But lines have no dots at the and.

Use the copy fields filter, with an equals sign as the custom delimiter....

Code: Select all

+--Output to file(s)
      [ ] Only update date on changed files
      [X] Keep original file's date and time
      [ ] Append mode
      [X] Change extension to: .try.txt

Restrictions
You would need to ensure that the original data does not contain any = characters.
If this is not true, you could choose a different delimiter, one that your data never contains, then use an exact replace filter to change it from that to =.

Thanks, I've just replaced carriage return with "nothing".
