Potentially, although this is more of a data manipulation issue than a Notepad++ discussion point…

Perhaps if you share a sample of your data someone will be able to give you some pointers on how to process it, either via Notepad++ or some other way…

Yes, it is possible to run the 32 bit version also on a win 64 OS version.

If your line numbers are the first thing on the line, and they aren’t referenced anywhere in the code (no GOTO type statements) then you could whack all the line numbers with a regular expression in the search/replace box with ^\d+ in the “find” box and nothing in the replace box. When you’re ready to number the lines again, you can go to the menu and do
Edit->Column Editor->Number to Insert
input your starting number, increment, and repeat parameters and NPP will insert your line numbers for you.

If you’re going to be doing this kind of thing a lot, Mikhail’s method and workflow is probably better, but this will do in a pinch.

With current N++ versions yes.
You may read https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/issues/80 on that. To install it manually take https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/releases/tag/v1.4.11 (for 32bit PluginManager_v1.4.11_UNI.zip) and see https://bruderste.in/npp/pm/#install.

wow! thank you very much!
It works perfectly with scott-sumner’s solution.
guy038’s only finds the first (of two) table I’m looking for in the file.

But your explains are great and help me understand better regexp!

Thank you very much.

i give you the solution
search (word1)|(word2) replace (?1word3)(?2word4) (regular expression)

mean word1 if found is replace by word3, and word2 if found by word4

but not tested with a lot of words

How to do like the link gif Image by notepad++'s shortcut key. Any help would be appreciated.

Your spec is rather ambiguous, but I think this will do what you asked for (in that it mimics the output):

Find what : (?-s)^(.*$\R)^(EN)$ Replace with : $1New text $1$2 ☑ Regular Expression Make sure you’re on the Find in Files tab

Find details:

(?-s) = make sure . does not match EOL characters (this will ensure that the next parenthetical will only match one line’s worth () = Everything inside parentheses gets put into the next $# variable ^ = matches the beginning of a line $ = matches the end of a line \R = matches the EOL character sequence (whether it’s a linux LF or windows CR+LF or old mac CR) ^(.*$\R) = combining concepts above: match all the text between the start and end of line, plus the EOL sequence, and store it all in $1 ^(EN)$ = match the entire line matching EN, and store EN in $2

Replace details:

$1: quote the values in $1, so it will be the fifth line and its new-line sequence new text $1: add “New text”, followed by a space and the full contents of the fifth line (including its newline) $2: quote the EN

P.S. :
(paraphrasing @guy038, the forum’s regex guru, who compiled these great regex resources, but hasn’t shared them in this thread yet):

Here is a good starting point for NPP users unfamiliar with regular expression concepts and syntax:

http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Regular_Expressions

Modern Notepad++ (since v6.0) uses the Boost C++ Regex library, v1.55.0 (similar to the Perl Regular Common Expressions (PRCE), v5.8):

search syntax: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html replace syntax: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/format/boost_format_syntax.html

@Savio-Tamara-Lobo you didn’t post anything?

Consider these statements as Laws :

32-bit plugins are not compatible with 64-bit executables 64-bit plugins are not compatible with 32-bit executables

Either go with:

32-bit executable (notepad++.exe) and 32-bit plugins
or 64-bit executable (notepad++.exe) and 64-bit plugins

Note: x86 is another term for 32-bit (means the same thing, in this context at least)
