If you for example rectangular select the middle 'column' in the following in Nedit: (eg: in the first line it would be 'blah.')
fred.blah.pl mary.john.pl fred.blah.pl mary.john.pl fred.blah.pl mary.john.pl fred.blah.pl
You can then press <Ctrl>9 a few times and quickly get this:
blah.fred.pl john.mary.pl blah.fred.pl john.mary.pl blah.fred.pl john.mary.pl blah.fred.pl
In what I do I am often fiddling about with such blocks of filenames and code.
I'm afraid I don't know of any way how to do it right now (please correct me when I'm wrong) and I'm not sure whether this feature is useful to be part of Geany's main distribution.
I actually think this would be an awesome improvement and could go into Geany but it still needs someone to write it. So, patches are welcome.
In the meantime, Frank's alternative suggestions still apply.
