need help scripting in notepad++, quick job, $15 reward

I have long list of usernames and passwords in the format
file: userpass.txt

In another textfile, loginscript.txt, I want the first occurance of the symbols "***" to be replaced with user1 from userpass.txt, and I want the first occurance of "---" to be replaced with pass1, next occurance of "***" replace with user2, next occurance of "---" with pass2, and so on..

$15 reward in bitcoins will be sent to the first person in the thread that solves this task for me. Don't know if it can be solved through notepad++ or maybe it's necessary to use some other scripting language? This will save me alot of time in my daily work and I will honor my word to payout the reward.

No answer in a couple of hours, so I guess my offer for $15 was not enough to motivate you guys with automationskills. The reward just doubled to $30 for solving this problem!

It can be done and I would have done it for free but I don't have time.


These should help you do it yourself.

Look up RegEx and use the TextFX plugin

I could have helped you if you pay me with paypal...
Let me know if you can arrange it.
Thanks.

I think you can do it in excel in a better way than doing it using textpad.

Send me the file and I can have a look to convert it into excel file to get the desired output.
