If you are asking for a regex, you may need to be more specific. — Hypnic Jerk, Feb 07 '17 at 06:09

what if there are multiple values like this? – Madan Thunderfist Feb 07 '17 at 06:24
hit the replace all button? You need to be more specific. – SMStroble Feb 07 '17 at 06:26
and suppose if i have continuous values like this #abcd#, #efgh#, its selecting the two values straightly. But i want each of those values selected separately – Madan Thunderfist Feb 07 '17 at 06:28
use #(.*?)# in the find box, the ? make it match the shortest string which satisfies the expression – SMStroble Feb 07 '17 at 06:30
Thanks a lot! working fine :D – Madan Thunderfist Feb 07 '17 at 07:01

In Find box type: #(abcd)# In Replace type: #{\1}

\1 represents the first capture group as it is . in your case it is (abcd) excluding ()

you can replace abcd with any search string you like.
