Copy marked text sections

[Dumpling Dumpling]

I need to copy text sections

How can I do that?

Example:
[https://postimg.org/image/yxg1sjwlh/](need to copy all red marks)

The best method I’ve found is by using a Pythonscript. See this thread: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/12710/marked-text-manipulation

Hello @dumpling-dumpling and All,

An alternative to the Scott’s Python script could be a regex S/R, built that way :

SEARCH : (?s).*?(Your Regex)|.*

REPLACE \1\r\n

In your case, the correct regex S/R would be :

SEARCH (?s).*?('.')|.*

REPLACE \1\r\n

• First, copy your file in a new tab

• Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

• Enter the Search and Replace regexex

• Tick the Wrap around option

• Click on the Replace All button

Et voilà !

So, with the given text, below :

<name = 'A' level = '1'>
<name = 'b' level = '2'>
<name = 'C' level = '3'>
<name = 'D' level = '4'>
<name = 'E' level = '5'>

You would obtain :

'A'
'1'
'b'
'2'
'C'
'3'
'D'
'4'
'E'
'5'

Can confirm this works without modification in May 2022. Thanks @guy038 for the easy copy and paste!

Well, now there’s a better way to copy marked text:

The Copy Marked Text command button didn’t exist when this thread was created.
