Hello, Guy,
In a reply of about a montha ago, you wrote “Be aware that, UNLIKE script languages, as Python, or Lua, regexes CANNOT store all successive values of the groups !”.
The good news is now that I have a set of working regexes for some sorts of indexes. I would go further now, but It turned out, that the amount of characters that a regex can handle is too small for my goal. So I think I have to use python to do the trick. I know a bit of programming (I learned the basics of algol and fortran some 50 years ago), but I did not do that job for years, so I fear that it will take some time before I am able to make working python-scripts. Therefor, I would like to ask you some questions so I don’t have to read lots of documentaries and forum-discussions which might be irrelevant for my limited goal.

Can named groups from a regex used in write-statements? If Yes, could you give an clarifying example? does python have limitations in the amount of characters in regexes?

Thanks in advance, best regards, Jos

It is an XML file. It is actually a report generated by a disk usage tool, which I run on a folder having about 80.000 files, and it lists each file with full path, size, etc.
This report has a size of “only” 18 MB, but Notepad++ uses 67 MB to load it.
