<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>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).<br><br></div>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.<br><br></div><div>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).<br><br></div><div>If you do have only a single zone per system, it's even easier.<br><br><br></div><div>Just look for a system and it's zone below it.<br><br></div><div>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).<br><br></div><div>By the way, here's a website I wish existed when I first started playing with regex: <a href="https://regex101.com/" target="_blank">https://regex101.com/</a>.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?<u></u><u></u></p>
