I believe the following demonstrates a quirk in the operation of the matching function for a paren.

I have found no issues yet if the ^continuation character is NOT used.

Basically you need to see here. And you need to show examples of what you are starting with and what you want to achieve for the different cases you are talking about. Nobody is going to read your mind in order to provide help in answering your questions.

…between <dict> and </dict> in this case or sth else

If your use of sth here is meant to be the word something then I think we can see that you want to put zero effort into asking your questions, so don’t be surprised if nobody wants to put more-than-zero effort in to answer. Don’t treat this site like you are texting.
If this is off-base, then apologies…

I agree. Keyboard shortcuts are not only useful for power users like us, but for people with disabilities who are unable to use the mouse. While users are able to use the tab key, that too is more cumbersome and keyboard shortcuts are widely considered an accessibility standard.

Hello, Happy New Year 2020 ! @guy038 and All,

Thank you for Replay your both solution are work successfully for me.

@yuly-pmem

I would be tempted to search (in regular expression search mode) for (?-is)^https://.+/ and replace with nothing.

I appreciate the suggestion. I did try that plugin, and while it’s nice to be able to filter the open files by name, it doesn’t allow rearranging (reordering) the list as far as I can tell.
The name filter has very limited helpfulness when you work with so many files, because remembering many file names and typing them is really not practical. Come to think of it, the Doc panel, the Windows panel, and the “Navigate To” panel all suffer from the same issue - the list can’t be reordered. That’s really the issue.

When I add say another 20 files to the already 100 opened files, I’d like to move those last 20 somewhere up in the list…

This is getting old…fast.

@Aidan-Garcia This means that you do not know where to use your notepad++, and open non-text documents in it!

Hello, @toti-chalo and All,

As your file is a colon delimited file, here is a possible solution :

Open the Replace dialoag ( Ctrl + H )

SEARCH (?-s)^.+?:(.+?:)(.+?:){2}(.+?)(:.*)?(?=\R|\z)

REPLACE \1\3

Tick the Wrap around option, if necessary

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click once on the Replace All button or several times on the Replace button

Notes :

The first part (?-s) ensures that the regex char . will match a single standard character, only ( not EOL ones )

Then the next part ^.+?: searches the shortest range of standard chars, from beginning of line till a colon character ( the 1st column )

Now, the part (.+?:) represents again the shortest range of standard chars till the next colon character ( the 2nd column), which is stored as group 1, due to the parentheses

Next, comes the part (.+?:){2}, which matches the next two columns 3rd and 4th with their ending colon chars

Finally, the part (.+?)(:.*)? represents the shortest range of chars, stored as group 2, optionally followed with a colon char and other columns :.* , till a line-break or the very end of the file, due to the look-ahead condition (?=\R|\z), which is not part of the overall match

In replacement, we simply rewrite the 1st and 3rd groups, standing for the 2nd and 5th columns of your table

thanks very much

Hello, @kikenetxy-giga, and All,

Elementary !

Open The Replace dialoag ( Ctrl + H )

SEARCH :\R

REPLACE :

Tick the Wrap around option, if necessary

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click once on the Replace All button or several times on the Replace button

Notes :

The \R regex syntax search any kind of Line-Break ( \r\n in Windows files, \n in Unix files and \r in Mac files )

So the search regex looks for a colon :, ending a line

Hello, @chalo-net, and All,

Easy with regular expressions !

Open The Replace dialoag ( Ctrl + H )

SEARCH (?-s)(^.+:[[:xdigit:]]{32}).+

REPLACE \1

Tick the Wrap around option, if necessary

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click once on the Replace All button or several times on the Replace button

Notes :

The first part (?-s) ensures that the regex char . will match a single standard character, only

Then the part ^.+: searches for the longest zone ending with a : character

Now, the part [[:xdigit:]]{32} simply selects 32 hexadecimal characters

As the part ^.+:[[:xdigit:]]{32} is embedded in parentheses , its present value is stored as group 1, which will be rewritten, during replacement

The final part .+, searching for the remainder of each line, is deleted, during replacement, as not stored in a group

Best Regards,
