@alan-kilborn ,
Thanks Alan, another NPP capability I wasn’t aware of…but that just means my needs haven’t been expansive enough to seek it out, but I’m getting there. :)

@alan-kilborn, look like it’s not finding anything…

@roger-st-onge Still having issue, not able to make it work

@roger-st-onge

It’s because you misrepresented your data.
What you showed originally started in column 1 (well, as far as anyone could tell).
The ^ in the expression means start-of-line must occur there.
Experiment with removing that character from the find expression.
Also a good idea to read up on regular expression searching; see this site’s FAQ page.
