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)

Hello @torkr,

Have a look to that thread :

And also :

TY!
Works now :)

This capability is not native to Notepad++. However, this thread has some ideas that may be of interest…

I found x64 version, https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-customize/

But this system not allowing me to post or update until someone else write a post.

Now all is OK!
Thank you!

@Emma-Banks

This is not a Notepad++ question. Please confine topics here to discussion about Notepad++. Thanks!

@Rangan-Roy Explore the Settings->Style Configurator dialog box. Note you can change the way various language-specific items appear.

@Randy-Reist You can also mark a small bit of the text, then use the mouse to pull the scroll bar down to where you want to end the selection. Hold down the Shift key and left-click the mouse to extend the selection to wherever your mouse cursor is.

Due to the embedded ad (see NppPluginManager issue #80 for bandwidth needs requiring the ad), Don Ho (the author of Notepad++) has decided to stop bundling the Plugin Manager. As of this mid-January post, he says he’s working on his own embedded plugin manager, but with no estimated ship date.

For now, you can download the Plugin Manager from @bruderstein’s releases page and do a manual installation.

Thank you so much, you are a saviour

@George-Atkins

The short answer is, in general, you can’t do this. Without knowing more details of your scenario, perhaps the best that can be offered up is to cut your column block to a new editor tab, perform your replace operation there (on that entire doc), rectangular-select the new contents, and copy and paste back into the original doc.

Of course, if you provide more detail, perhaps a regular-expression search-and-replace operation could be crafted to do what you need, or possibly the description would allow other solutions to be brought to light…
