    It appears the OP has undergone an identity crisis…no matter…

    OP:

    Firstly, I encourage if not demand you make a complete backup copy of your entire original file set…Whew!, now nothing that follows is my fault! :-)

    So, this could work, if I have a good understanding of the “spec” on what is needed:

    Find what: (?s).+?\RSummary:[^\r\n]+\R(.+)
    Replace with: \1
    Search mode: Regular expression

    Very high-level summary of what happens with the find and replace:
    From the start of file (in a Replace in Files operation) match a string of any characters followed by a line-ending with “Summary:” immediately after; continue matching through (and including) the line-ending of the “Summary:” line. At that point, grab the contents of the remainder of the file and remember it. At replace time, substitute what was remembered (everything after the “Summary:” line) for the contents of the entire file. This effectively deletes the desired lines.

    For the regex experts out there reading this, I DID try some things with the \A anchor (for start-of-file matching), but I recall reading something from @guy038 on a bug with \A in Notepad++'s regex engine, and my testing bore out that there is a problem with it.

    I had the same problem.
    I was running v7.3.3 (64 bit). I uninstalled it and installed v7.3.2 (64 bit). It works fine now. :)

    @Claudia-Frank

    or if there is always a space after the number but not in the case with the calling-station you could do

    find: ^.*(49160\d+)\s.*$ replace: \1

    Earlier I linked to a posting by me in another thread.

    I should have linked to a posting by me in yet another thread: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/77/blank-trim-operations-on-a-text-selection-only

    :-D

    I guess the answer to the OP’s question is that this (a selection-based action acting only upon the single, most recently made selection [when there are multiple selections active]) has been known behavior for a long time.

    @kawinga , question isn’t formulated clearly but I’m guessing from the screenshot that OP gave that he is referring to indenting paragraphs using tab. I believe your answer of multi-selecting a paragraph and hitting tab pretty much answers the thread. Thanks for that, I didn’t even know you can do that. It’s going to make my life alot easier… :)

    @Yongtao-Yang , thanks for your answer, that was actually exactly what I was looking for when I wondered into this thread.

    Hi, @joe-bonifazi, @alan-kilborn, @claudia-frank and All,

    Oh yes, I’m feeling quite silly too ! Joe, it’s just a very simple and clever solution :-D

    Reading the initial Alan’s post, I wanted to point him out to my reply to @yaron , six months ago about :

    https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/2471#issuecomment-255602837

    Now, you may, simply, read this reply just as an additional information on Scintilla commands about caret !!

    Cheers,

    guy038

    @AlexCeed

    To elaborate a bit on @Claudia-Frank 's explanation, here’s some code that shows how to do a replace on only the text in one or more selections:

    find = 'a' replace = 'A' num_selections = editor.getSelections() for sel_nbr in range(num_selections): start_pos = editor.getSelectionNStart(sel_nbr) end_pos = editor.getSelectionNEnd(sel_nbr) editor.replace(find, replace, 0, start_pos, end_pos)

    @Bernard-JY

    because it is a command line function and is not supposed to be used within browser!??
    Nevertheless, you might get better support if you ask such questions in a php specific forum.

    @guy038 your SECOND thought should also be to delete this idiot’s account while removing this inane topic. serious users need not waste their time on such junk.

    thank you,

    @VampireSeraphin

    give it a try with the following (regex and match newline needs to be checked)

    Find what: ^(.*?\r\n)(.*)$ Replace: \1SomeText\r\n\2

    ^ Start from beginning of file and the ? restricts to find as less as possible chars until a \r\n (windows end of line marks) appears
    which basically means the first line. Having enclosed in () means it get captured in variable \1 .
    Next capture group gets the rest of the text until $ end.

    In replace you need to add the text and the eols \r\n together with the matching groups.

    Cheers

    @MuTLY

    I used npp via rdp in the past a lot but did discover that behavior.
    First thing I would try is to run npp bare minimum, without any plugin,
    to see if this is really related to npp or a plugin.

    Cheers
