find-and-replace

Is there a way in Notepad++ to retain on or more entire strings, and place them somewhere else?

To Clarify, what I want to do is search for a sentence such as

QuestionAnswers[qnumber 35]="Fruit", "Plants"

and replace with

NewFormatQuestion = [FirstAnswer="Fruit", SecondAnswer="Plants"]

This isn't the actual code, but it represents what I want to do.
