VS code shortcut to wrap multiple lines of text in same tag?


I have a text file containing 100 lines of words. Need to wrap them all in li tags to display as bullet points on a website. How to do so fast in VS code using some shortcut? If I paste the text in VS code, it takes up 100 lines with one word on each line.


Solution

    1. Hit Ctrl + H
    2. Enable Regular Expression
    3. Enter ^(.*)$ in Find
    4. Enter <li>$1</li> in Replace
    5. Profit
    foo
    bar
    baz asdad
    foo bar baz 123
    

    Becomes

    <li>foo</li>
    <li>bar</li>
    <li>baz asdad</li>
    <li>foo bar baz 123</li>
