Notepad++ - How to change contents of a line?

Question

Attempting to get this work, I've tried the other responses and they just don't work.

Currently I have a bunch of files that have; "craftgroup" : [ "tool1", "tool2", "tool3" ]

I'm attempting to get it to change all the files into "craftgroup" : [ "mastertool" ]

but I can't seem to get it to actually work because the regex isn't working and I have over 650 files to change >.>

None of them have worked, I just need to replace the entire line if that's easier.

Thanks m0shit0 that worked, other ones for some reason kept saying "can't find text"

"Other Responses" are you referring to another post? Please provide the link. — Automate This, Dec 07 '13 at 15:30
It's quite unclear what you're asking. What regex have you tried? How should it look like? How does it look like? — noob, Dec 07 '13 at 15:30
And how we're supposed to know how "tool1", "tool2", "tool3" >> "mastertool"? Do you mean all entries are **exactly** like this or is this an example? — m0skit0, Dec 07 '13 at 15:31
@m0skit0 All of the lines have different tools for a example and need to be mastertool, sorry for making it look derpish just kinda tired after doing this for a hour and not a single bit closer. — user2813035, Dec 07 '13 at 15:34
@user2813035 So do you want to replace `"craftgroup": WHATEVER` with the **exact** string `"craftgroup": [ "mastertool" ]`? Is "mastertool" a keyword for something or is that the REAL string in ALL instances? — h2ooooooo, Dec 07 '13 at 15:36
Yup, all just need to be replaced to "craftgroup": [ "mastertool" ] — user2813035, Dec 07 '13 at 15:38

Your question is not very clear. I understand that you only want to replace lines that have craftgroup.

Find: "craftgroup" : \[(.*?)\]

Replace: "craftgroup" : \[ "mastertool" \]

Note: Notepad++ 6.5
