You will likely have to resort to some sort of programming language solution to make that happen. Notepad++ supports some scripting languages as plugins which can do it. An example is the Pythonscript plugin, where the classic example of it is found in the documentation:
In your case that code would be changed to be a bit more complicated:
count = 0 def add_1(m): global count count += 1 return ' ' + str(count) editor.rereplace(r'(?<=kamal)(?! \d)', add_1);
Here’s one of your earlier example sections of “BEFORE” text:
hfshfdohoh kamal from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . nscknkjnkjdnjknnkjnjd jnnfdnfn kamal from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . nndnfdoihiofdhoifdhoi dnidihdi nindiididkamal from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . jbffbufb kamal from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . hfhfjfj kamal from whickamal from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . nidididn kamal from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . nnidnid kamal from which build the issue is comming need to check it out .
Here’s what the “AFTER” text looks like after running that script on it:
hfshfdohoh kamal 1 from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . nscknkjnkjdnjknnkjnjd jnnfdnfn kamal 2 from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . nndnfdoihiofdhoifdhoi dnidihdi nindiididkamal 3 from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . jbffbufb kamal 4 from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . hfhfjfj kamal 5 from whickamal 6 from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . nidididn kamal 7 from which build the issue is comming need to check it out . nnidnid kamal 8 from which build the issue is comming need to check it out .

Here are some basic hints for getting a Python script to run:

Once the script is installed, select the text to process and run the script.
Have fun!

select the text to process and run the script.
Actually, the script runs on the currently-active document (the entire text of the document), not the selected text. We could change it slightly to do that, but that wasn’t requested.
-
That’s what I wanted to write, but my fingers were faster !
Anyway, my preference is always to process the selected text or it via the clipboard, not the entire document.
OP, now you know what to do. Go for it !

Wherever Kamal string is there i wants to append some number to it .
Here is an alternative option which ONLY involves regular expressions (and the column editor function).
-
replace all CRLF with @@
Place cursor in the first position of the file. Using the Replace function we have
Find What:\R
Replace With:@@
Search mode is “regular expression”, click on “replace all” -
insert CR & LF before every “kamal” text
Place cursor in the first position of the file. Using the Replace function we have
Find What:(([a-z]+)?kamal)
Replace With:\r\n\1
Search mode is “regular expression”, click on “replace all” -
insert line numbers and move to behind the “kamal” text
Check if the first line has the “kamal” text, if not position the cursor in the first position of the second line (which does have the “kamal” text). Use column editor and use “number to insert”, starting 1, increase 1 and repeat 1, click OK. -
Now to move the number behind the “kamal” text.
Using the Replace function we have
Find What:^(\d+)[a-z]+)
Replace With:\2 \1
-
recreate the original CRLF and remove the previously inserted ones
Using the Replace function we have
Find What:(@@)|\R
Replace With:?1(\r\n)
I’n not proposing that you use this method as it seems you are well on the way to solving it the “pythonscript” way which is far more sensible. I’m showing you another method which is very simple to understand but as a consequence has a few steps to it.
