Thanks Julien.
I’ve attached the inp file. I am not familiar with Regex at all but I’ll check out that website. If you could send me some examples tomorrow though, that would be great!
thanks,
Jesse

Hi,
I don't know Notetab, but as long as you have one system for each zone, this is pretty easy if your editor supports Regular Expressions (Regex).
As you might know, inp files has what I call a positional input for a few things (space > surface > window/door, same for system > zone). Meaning if you find something that is a system, everything that's right after (which are zones) below to this system until you find another system. As opposed to having a keyword linking those two objects.
So you could use a regex for this job. Especially using positive lookaheads to delimit a single system and its zone (singular here, could be plural).
If you do have only a single zone per system, it's even easier.
Just look for a system and it's zone below it.
If you are not familiar with regex and can't manage to build it, let me know, I'll try to find a few tomorrow to help you out (send me your file or an extract or it so I don't have to create a dummy one to play with it).
By the way, here's a website I wish existed when I first started playing with regex: https://regex101.com/. Fyi, Notepad++ uses the prce engine.
Cheers,
Julien

I don’t think you can create macros in NoteTab. What would that macro look like in boxer?

Subject: RE: eQuest & NoteTab Question
Can you create a macro that searches for each instance of “=ZONE”, copies the text before the “=” to get the zone name, and the pastes in the lines necessary to create a new single zone system, using the zone name now stored in the clip-board to paste in the control zone?
I’m not familiar with NoteTab, but you can do that in boxer.

Hi,
I have a model with 233 zones. Right now, every zone has a water loop heat pump. I want to convert these all to packaged single zone systems. To do this, I am working in the .inp file and doing a “find and replace” in NoteTab. The replacing of the system type is easy. I simply search for the “type = HP” line and replace with “type = PSZ”. However, the PSZ system requires a control zone. I would like each control zone to be the zone in which that particular system resides. Which means, for each of my 233 zones, I will have a different control zone (i.e. no longer a simple find and replace search).
Does anyone know of a way to use “find and replace” (or another method) to set each control zone with the zone name which the system resides?
This is what the .inp file should look like for a packaged single zone system:
"EL1 Sys1 (PTAC) (G.SSW1)" = SYSTEM
TYPE = PSZ
HEAT-SOURCE = HEAT-PUMP
ZONE-HEAT-SOURCE = NONE
SIZING-RATIO = 1
COOL-SIZING-RATI = 1
MIN-SUPPLY-T = 58
FAN-SCHEDULE = "S1 Sys1 (PTAC) Fan Sch"
CW-LOOP = "DEFAULT-CW"
COOLING-CAPACITY = 15752
COOL-SH-CAP = 11839
HP-SUPP-SOURCE = NONE
FURNACE-HIR = 1.24067
CONTROL-ZONE = "EL1 SSW Perim Zn (G.SSW1)"
C-EER95 = 8.24
C-COP47 = 0.78
C-AFUE = 0.78
C-SF-MTR-TYPE = 1
C-RF-MTR-TYPE = 1
C-OSA-DMPR-CTRL = 1
C-HTG-DUCT-LOCN = *Ceiling Plenum*
C-HTG-DUCT-RVAL = 7
C-CLG-DUCT-LOCN = *Ceiling Plenum*
C-CLG-DUCT-RVAL = 7
C-CLG-CAP-CATEG = 14
For my next system, everything would be exactly the same except the highlighted lines (and so on for all 233 systems):
"EL1 Sys1 (PTAC) (G.W2)" = SYSTEM
TYPE = PSZ
HEAT-SOURCE = HEAT-PUMP
ZONE-HEAT-SOURCE = NONE
SIZING-RATIO = 1
COOL-SIZING-RATI = 1
MIN-SUPPLY-T = 58
FAN-SCHEDULE = "S1 Sys1 (PTAC) Fan Sch"
CW-LOOP = "DEFAULT-CW"
COOLING-CAPACITY = 15752
COOL-SH-CAP = 11839
HP-SUPP-SOURCE = NONE
FURNACE-HIR = 1.24067
CONTROL-ZONE = "EL1 Sys1 (PTAC) (G.W2)"
C-EER95 = 8.24
C-COP47 = 0.78
C-AFUE = 0.78
C-SF-MTR-TYPE = 1
C-RF-MTR-TYPE = 1
C-OSA-DMPR-CTRL = 1
C-HTG-DUCT-LOCN = *Ceiling Plenum*
C-HTG-DUCT-RVAL = 7
C-CLG-DUCT-LOCN = *Ceiling Plenum*
C-CLG-DUCT-RVAL = 7
C-CLG-CAP-CATEG = 14
thank you,
