# Transform Docusaurus Frontmatter

Today i wanted to move all the...

Since i had a lot of files to transform, i wanted to use "Search & Replace". I came up with the following Search Pattern in VS-Code:

---
title: (.*)
((.*\r?\n)+?)---
---
$2---

# $1

Add new field to existing sidebar_custom_props​

Search:

((.*\r?\n)+?)?sidebar_custom_props:
(  .+\r?\n)+?((.*\r?\n)+?)?---

Replace:

---
$1sidebar_custom_props:
$3  foo: bar
