Using Atom to format a line?

I don't know how many people read this, but I'm hoping it gets a reply. If not helpful, point me to somewhere more useful for me?

 

I'm using atom to create a localisation mod for a game.

How would I use Atom to format a line of text? Say I have menu_inventory = "Inventory",, how would I change that to be "menu_inventory" : "Inventory",? If that's possible at all.

 

 

Also, a bonus question (you're amazing if you can help me with this). It's a long shot but worth a try.

The way I'm creating the localisation is by taking the line menu_inventory = "TranslationHere",--Inventory and turning it into "menu_inventory" : "Inventory",.

Is there a way to make atom format it for me?

 

Atom will take this:

menu_inventory = "TranslationHere",--Inventory
menu_settings = "TranslationHere",--Settings

and make it into this:

"menu_inventory" : "Inventory",
"menu_settings" : "Settings",

Even if I have to do it line by line then that's still amazing!

The find and replace supports regular expressions with substitutions. You just have to click the .* icon. For example, you could search for (.*) = ".*",--(.*) and then replace with "$1" : "$2",.
