      @Alan-Kilborn Oh. I really have no experience in this matter. Because I thought, if there is any simple formula to shorten my time based on it. This question is really hard for me. I’m just worried you guys think that I am abusing it to make it difficult for you. I totally did not mean that.
      Can you post my answer to this problem? Thanks

        So that’s a cop out. :-)
        What if you have to do something similar next week?

        We’ll get you started:

        So, you could match the paired data items you are interested in with:

        ([0-9a-f]{32})</div><div class="ellipsis">(\w+)

          @Alan-Kilborn I really don’t understand what you’re talking about. But I am very grateful that you have been interested and answered my questions early.
          I have tried to apply your command but this did not help me. I also do not know how to manipulate. I don’t really know much about Notepad ++ commands
          How to upload images? I want to take a screenshot of my screen to show you my problem

              It’s not a bad start. :-)
              Of course, we haven’t gotten to “replace” yet.

              Are you using different data than you first provided? If I switch over to the Mark tab and mark the matches, I get this, as expected:

              2fba7612-3d0c-464b-abe7-de178ee2c3d9-image.png

              Can you see how the red marking covers the 2 pieces of data in each line that you are interested in? Try to duplicate this result.

                @Alan-Kilborn If that is difficult, is there any way to get this result:

                Hash code, I’ll probably copy it by hand. It must be like that. Because the script fails, I have no other way

                  @Alan-Kilborn If that is the result I get it would be great. Because at that time I only used instead </div> <div class = “ellipsis”> = accents: then I had the result I wanted. However, after marking the data as your image has uploaded, how to copy it?

                    @Fake-Trum ,

                    First, you need to actually read what Alan is writing to you. He’s helping you through step-by-step, not just giving you the final solution, because he wants you to learn how to do this yourself.

                    Second, and this one is much more important to me, you better have a pretty good explanation why you are having us help you harvest passwords from a page of MD5-hash / password pairs, and why this isn’t helping you get a list of passwords that you can try to break into accounts with. If you don’t have a good explanation for that, I will downvote every one of your posts right quick, because we do not help people steal passwords or break into accounts on this site.

                      @PeterJones Without hiding anyone, I am using a Hash decode script, but the script fails resulting in such results. I can’t check it manually, because the data I have is over 10,000 lines. If you have other methods, can you suggest to help me overcome this problem?
                      @Alan-Kilborn Sorry, because you gave the command so succinct, I do not know how to operate: Replace or Search. Resulting in incorrect results.

                        I don’t know why I did the same thing you did, but it only highlighted one result. I am very thankful for your help. Alright, maybe it bothers you too much. I found another way. You do not help me anymore. Thanks.Untitled.png

                          Yea, @PeterJones raises a good point.
                          We can’t know for sure that we aren’t aiding nefarious purposes.
                          However, the pieces are all there, if they can be put together.
                          I think it is best for me to bow out at this point.
                          Sorry.

                            Hi @Alan-Kilborn, @PeterJones, All

                            I was about to answer this question when I noticed where it had led. Therefore, as a matter of prudence, I will not post my solution. Instead, I’ll describe it, because while it’s not original, it’s different from Alan’s.

                            It is a destructive method based on a logical disjunction, so it is suggested, obviously, to process a copy of the document. The regex reads line by line from the beginning of the document and if the line responds to the desired pattern -let’s say it contains the word ellipsis-, then the regex processes it and loads the desired data into two different groups, and if the line is not compatible then the regex ignores it, meaning that it will not be included into the replacement expression.

                            Consequently, after making a Replace All -just one mouse click-, only the 20 lines indicated by OP will remain in the document.

                            Have fun!

                              with the Wrap around option ticked and the Regular expression search mode selected and a click on the Replace All button would give your expected text :

                                Hi @guy038, All:

                                I think so, as both approaches are destructive. Yours looks nicer, mine seems simpler in the sense that the techniques used are more basic -no look-arounds or POSIX character classes, for example- and also in terms of the logical structure, since the alternation has only two members, A|B. A describes the line to match, taking care to capture via negative classes both the hash and the password -so if it is only wanted the last one it is easy to deliver it-, and B deals with the unwanted lines, it’s a basic ^.*\R.

                                The replacement expression is, as you surely guessed, ?1$1\:$2\n.

                                Best Regards.

                                  I think something is being missed here. First, should we truly be helping out the OP when we suspect we might only be aiding evil purposes? This is directed more to @guy038 because @astrosofista already acknowledged this.

                                  Second, before it dawned on me (by @PeterJones hitting me over the head with it) that we might have a bad situation brewing, I already gave the answer for anyone that cared to follow it:

                                  • reference the other thread I linked early on, where @guy038 provided the general solution
                                  • use the regex I linked earlier in this thread which even included the capturing groups needed for the eventual (specific) solution!

                                    Hello, @fake-trum, @alan-kilborn, @peterjones, @astrosofista and All,

                                    Of course, I gave a solution, but you must admit that my post was quite succinct. As we say in France: the minimum trade union discourse ;-))

                                    I mean that I wanted to express my disapproval and say that @fake-trum should have been more patient to fully examine our solutions, before giving up !

                                    Perhaps it would have been better not to provide a solution at all, given that the PO did not want to get involved any further !

                                    But the power and compactness of the regular expression code prevented me from doing so ;-))) So beautiful !

                                    Cheers,

                                    guy038

                                      hitting me over the head with it

                                      Well, I wasn’t trying to be violent to the regulars. I just saw the signs of hash/password pairs, and I couldn’t tell from the downloaded source code whether it was one of the “has my password been hacked” white-hat sites, or “here’s a list of password hashes for infiltrating poorly-written logins” black-hat-sites. The OP’s response wasn’t overly clarifiying.

                                      Unfortunately, I realized last night while trying to fall asleep what regex I should have responded with, rather than my openly-antagonistic lingual response. It wouldn’t have been a solution to the OP’s question, but it might have helped the OP. See if you can figure out what it does before running it on the example data.

                                      • FIND: (?s)(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(.)?(\Z)?
                                      • REPLACE: (?1\x{49})(?2\x{20})(?3\x{57})(?4\x{49})(?5\x{4C})(?6\x{4C})(?7\x{20})(?8\x{4E})(?9\x{4F})(?10\x{54})(?11\x{20})(?12\x{42})(?13\x{52})(?14\x{55})(?15\x{54})(?16\x{45})(?17\x{20})(?18\x{46})(?19\x{4F})(?20\x{52})(?21\x{43})(?22\x{45})(?23\x{20})(?24\x{50})(?25\x{41})(?26\x{53})(?27\x{53})(?28\x{57})(?29\x{4F})(?30\x{52})(?31\x{44})(?32\x{53}\x{0D}\x{0A})(?33\x{0D}\x{0A}\x{0D}\x{0A}\x{2D}\x{2D}\x{20}\x{73}\x{69}\x{67}\x{6E}\x{65}\x{64}\x{2C}\x{20}\x{74}\x{68}\x{65}\x{20}\x{65}\x{78}\x{2D}\x{73}\x{63}\x{72}\x{69}\x{70}\x{74}\x{2D}\x{6B}\x{69}\x{64}\x{64}\x{69}\x{65})

                                        Slight language misinterpretation: I meant it more as me “getting hit by a lightening bolt of realization”…after you made it plain what could be going on.

                                          Hi @Alan-Kilborn, All

                                          What can I say! @guy038’s solution is very interesting and I don’t blame him for posting it. It’s worthy of analysis - at least I learned something - and I think it’s more geared towards the regulars on the list than to OP. As for my answer, it only describes a solution and is understandable only for those who know regular expressions, so I don’t see anything wrong with it.

                                          To be honest, my first reaction was to suggest the direct selection of the passwords by means of Eko’s PS, something that doesn’t take more than a couple of seconds. However, as OP didn’t seem willing to learn anything and it was necessary to guide her/him to install the plugin and the script, I gave up this approach. But in the meantime I had noticed a different solution than yours, I tried it, it worked correctly, but didn’t publish it for the reasons seen.

                                          Well, enough of this for me.

                                          Now I would like to change the subject of the conversation a little, taking advantage of the fact that there are almost no new posts.

                                          I have noticed that often the length of the regular expressions we are using exceeds by far the extension of the search and replacement fields, making it impossible to display the full expression. This limitation makes it difficult to analyze and understand other people’s expressions and to correct one’s own.

                                          Taking into account that there is still some blank space in the Find window, wouldn’t it be a good idea to implement a line wrapping in the search and replacement fields, so that an expression exceeding 36 characters - the maximum displayable in my configuration - continues on the next line and so on until the expression is complete? Even if a limit is set for each field, say 3 lines, these would still give a better picture of the expression than one limited to a single line.

                                          A bonus to facilitate the analysis and construction of regular expressions would be the implementation of a colored syntax to highligth groups and alternations at a glance - by the way, maybe I am not aware and this is currently feasible, you tell me.

                                          Of course, I am aware that it is uncommon for the average user to run searches that go beyond the current length of the find field, let alone use regular expressions, so these features would not directly benefit most users. However I still find them valuables and I think they would be useful additions to Notepad++. Having made this caveat, I would like to hear your opinions. If these topics have been discussed before, I would appreciate links to those discussions.

                                          Sorry for the long post :)

                                            Hi, @astrosofista and All,

                                            Personally, after dragging on the right, with the mouse, the Find dialog to its maximum, I’m able to type in up to 100 characters, with the monospaced search font ;-))

                                            c2bb0b1b-6a01-473a-b384-009c54480ff4-image.png

                                            Best Regards,

                                            guy038
