      Since there are so many levels, and you’re working with a temporary file anyway, we could make this less tricky. At @PeterJones’ suggestion, here we use an exclamation point to distinguish between forward and reversed domain names.

      Enter:

      Find what : ([^.\s]+)\.([^!\s]+)
      Replace with : \2!\1

      Replace All repeatedly until it says 0 occurrences were replaced, then sort the file.

      If you need to change back to normal domain names after the sort, use:

      Find what : ([^!\s]+)!([^.\s]+)
      Replace with : \2.\1

      and Replace All repeatedly until it says 0 occurrences were replaced.


      The steps above will sort first by the top-level domain (.com, .net, etc.). If you need to have, say, whatever.com and whatever.net and whatever.co.uk sort together, then after reversing the domain names, use something like:

      Find what : ^([a-z]{2}![a-z]{2}|[^!]+)!(\S+)
      Replace with : \2 \1

      and Replace All once before sorting. (This is not guaranteed to be correct for every case of two-letter top level domains, but it should get the common ones right.)

      To reverse, after sorting, use:

      Find what : ^(\S+) (\S+)
      Replace with : \2!\1

        Hi, @mohammad-al-thobiti, @peterjones, @coises and All,

        Ah, ah ah… I’m very happy to announce that I’ve found out a general regex which can handle any number of sections ;-))


        So, let’s begin with this simple INPUT text containing from 2 to 13 sections ( one of each ), pasted in a new tab :

        abc.def
        abc.def.ghi
        abc.def.ghi.jkl
        abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno
        abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr
        abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu
        abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx
        abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0
        abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0.123
        abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0.123.456
        abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0.123.456.789
        abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0.123.456.789.€±¶
        abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0.123.456.789.€±¶.Ø÷ß
        
        • Move to the very beginning of the file ( Ctrl + Home )

        First, we add the |. string at the beginning of every line, with the following regex S/R :

        • SEARCH (?x-s) ^ (?= . )

        • REPLACE |.

        Thus, we get :

        |.abc.def
        |.abc.def.ghi
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0.123
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0.123.456
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0.123.456.789
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0.123.456.789.€±¶
        |.abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.pqr.stu.vwx.yz0.123.456.789.€±¶.Ø÷ß
        
        • Move to the very beginning of the file ( Ctrl + Home )

        Now, this is the main regex S/R :

        • SEARCH (?x-s) ^ ( .* \| ) ( (?: \. (?: (?! \| ) \S )+ )+ ) ( \. (?: (?! \. ) \S )+ )

        • REPLACE \1\3|\2

        • Click 14th times on the Replace All button, till you get the message Replace All: 0 occurrences were replaced from caret to end-of-file

        => You should get the temporary text :

        |.def|.abc
        |.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.mno|.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.pqr|.mno|.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.stu|.pqr|.mno|.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.vwx|.stu|.pqr|.mno|.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.yz0|.vwx|.stu|.pqr|.mno|.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.123|.yz0|.vwx|.stu|.pqr|.mno|.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.456|.123|.yz0|.vwx|.stu|.pqr|.mno|.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.789|.456|.123|.yz0|.vwx|.stu|.pqr|.mno|.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.€±¶|.789|.456|.123|.yz0|.vwx|.stu|.pqr|.mno|.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        |.Ø÷ß|.€±¶|.789|.456|.123|.yz0|.vwx|.stu|.pqr|.mno|.jkl|.ghi|.def|.abc
        
        • Move to the very beginning of the file ( Ctrl + Home )

        Now, we just to get rid of all the | chars as well as the FIRST dot of each line, with the regex S/R :

        SEARCH (?x) ^ \| \. | \|

        REPLACE Leave EMPTY

        And we get our expected OUTPUT text :

        def.abc
        ghi.def.abc
        jkl.ghi.def.abc
        mno.jkl.ghi.def.abc
        pqr.mno.jkl.ghi.def.abc
        stu.pqr.mno.jkl.ghi.def.abc
        vwx.stu.pqr.mno.jkl.ghi.def.abc
        yz0.vwx.stu.pqr.mno.jkl.ghi.def.abc
        123.yz0.vwx.stu.pqr.mno.jkl.ghi.def.abc
        456.123.yz0.vwx.stu.pqr.mno.jkl.ghi.def.abc
        789.456.123.yz0.vwx.stu.pqr.mno.jkl.ghi.def.abc
        €±¶.789.456.123.yz0.vwx.stu.pqr.mno.jkl.ghi.def.abc
        Ø÷ß.€±¶.789.456.123.yz0.vwx.stu.pqr.mno.jkl.ghi.def.abc
        

        So, @mohammad-al-thobiti :

        • Apply all the above steps against your real file

        • Run the Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending option ( No [rectangular] selection is needed as you just keep the addresses )

        • Possibly, add back the 127.0.0.1 IPV4 address, followed with two space chars with the regex S/R :

          • SEARCH (?x-s) ^ (?= . )

          • REPLACE (127.0.0.1 )

        Best Regards,

        guy038

        P.S. :

        I’ve just seen the @coises’s solution. I’m going to have a look at its solution which could be more simple than my regex solution !

          Hi, @mohammad-al-thobiti, @peterjones, @coises and All,

          @mohammad-al-thobiti, you should use the @coises’s approach, which works much better than mine !!

          In addition, in my previous post, I omitted to add the reverse regex to use, once your sort would be done :-((

          While the @coise’s method avoids any additional S/R and correctly mentions the reverse regex to run after the sort operation

          Note that I slightly Modified the first two @coises’s regexes to get more rigorous ones ( See, at the end of this post the reason for these changes )


          Thus, I would propose this road map :

          • First, from the @coises’s post, I would use this alternate regex formulation :

            • SEARCH (?x) ( [^.\r\n]+ ) \. ( [^!\r\n]+ )

            • REPLACE \2!\1

            • Click 14th times on the Replace All button

          • Run the Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending option ( No [rectangular] selection is needed as you just keep the addresses )

          • Thirdly, once the sort done, from the @coises’s post, use the alternate reverse regex S/R :

            • SEARCH (?x) ( [^!\r\n]+ ) ! ( [^.\r\n]+ )

            • REPLACE \2.\1

            • Click 14th times on the Replace All button

          => You should get all your addresses back, in the right order

          Best Regards,

          guy038

          P.S. :

          @coises uses the \s class of characters, which is equivalent to any of the 25 characters, below, with the regex :

          (?x) \t | \n | \x{000B} | \x{000C} | \r | \x{0020} | \x{0085} | \x{00A0} | x{1680} | [\x{2000}-\x{200B}] |\x{2028} | \x{2029} | \x{202F} | \x{3000}

          In the highly unlikely event that one of these characters is included in some addresses, I preferred to use the [\r\n] regex, which ONLY avoids these 2 EOL chars in addresses, instead of using the \s regex !

            Thank you for your efforts, my friends.
            I would like to tell you that the result is excellent.
            H5.png
            But an idea came to me: why not just delete the subdomain and keep only the main domain and then delete the similar ones?
            Is there a way to delete long link extensions? And keep the main domain?

            Example:

                Hi, @mohammad-al-thobiti and All,

                May I rephrase your question ? Let’s see if we mean the same goal !

                So, for example, from the INPUT text, below :

                abc.def.ghi.jkl.example.com
                all.net
                abc.def.example.com
                abc.my_site.com
                abc.def.ghi.all.net
                my_site.com
                abc.def.all.net
                abc.def.ghi.jkl.mno.opq.my_site.com
                example.com
                

                With the following regex S/R :

                SEARCH (?x) ^ (?: [\w-]+ \. )* ( [\w-]+ \. [\w-]+ ) $

                REPLACE \1

                We would get that text :

                example.com
                all.net
                example.com
                my_site.com
                all.net
                my_site.com
                all.net
                my_site.com
                example.com
                

                Then, using the Edit > Line Operations > Remove Duplicates Lines option, we would end up with this OUTPUT :

                example.com
                all.net
                my_site.com
                

                If this is exactly what you expect to, just go ahead !

                BR

                  I would like to thank you for your useful information and those who contributed to this topic.

                  This article has become my reference. It works nicely. Yes, we mean the same goal !

                  Right now. If you can sort or collect them from the most similar domains, please let me know.

                  There are too many lines, starting with the most similar domain.

                  Reason: To find the most “worried” domains because it takes many lines. I will delete them later, as you told us. However, the goal is to discover more domains with many characters or long URLs and I will block them in other programs.

                  How can this be done?

                    If you can sort or collect them from the most similar domains, please let me know.

                    Here’s a way; enter:

                    Find what : ^(!*([^\r\n]+))\R(!*)\2$
                    Replace with : !\3\1

                    and Replace All repeatedly until there are no more changes.

                    Each line in the result will have an exclamation point at the beginning for each additional occurrence of the following text; so:

                    argh.com
                    argh.com
                    asdf.net
                    asdf.net
                    asdf.net
                    asdf.net
                    ef.org
                    ef.org
                    ef.org
                    ef.org
                    ef.org
                    fasde.com
                    fasde.com
                    fasde.com
                    fasde.com
                    gorch.net
                    gorch.net
                    gorch.net
                    

                    would become:

                    !argh.com
                    !!!asdf.net
                    !!!!ef.org
                    !!!fasde.com
                    !!gorch.net
                    

                    You can then sort that to put them in order by the number of exclamation points at the beginning.

                        and do the repeated Replace Alls, then sort, you’ll get:

                        !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!zinoiosijek031.net
                        !zindova.net

                        zip-archive.net
                        

                        The first line represents 25 occurrences — there are 24 leading exclamation points. Each of the next three lines represent two occurrences (one leading exclamation point). The remaining lines occurred only once.

                        Is that not what you needed to accomplish?

                          Hello, @mohammad-al-thobiti, @peterjones, @coises and All,

                          Oh, @coises, your method of finding out how many times each address occurs, is very elegant and really clever ! I’d never have thought of such sophistication on my own :-((


                          So, @mohammad-al-thobiti, starting with this INPUT file :

                          I’m using the @coises’s regex, that I slightly modified :

                          SEARCH (?x-s) ^ ( !* ( .+ ) ) \R ( !* ) \2 $

                          REPLACE !\3\1

                          • Run it several times, in order tp get the message Replace All: 0 occurrences were replaced

                          => You should get this text :

                          Now, we just add one ! character to get the exact number of occurrences of each address

                          SEARCH (?x-s) ^ (?= . )

                          REPLACE !

                          Finally, runing the four regex S/R, below :

                          SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !                         (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   1\t
                          SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!                        (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   2\t
                          SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!!                       (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   3\t
                          SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE  25\t
                          

                          => You should end up with this OUTPUT text :

                            @ guy038 and All,

                            Thank you my friends for the amazing results.

                            We have received the correct information. The most commonly used domains cleverly.

                            In any case, as you can see in the picture, the outcome is wonderful.

                            H8.png

                            How do I write the code like this that you mentioned:

                            SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !                         (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   1\t
                            SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!                        (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   2\t
                            SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!!                       (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   3\t
                            SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE  25\t
                            

                            Did I write until I reached Col: 6,597? I think it is difficult and takes a lot of time. And I want to thank all of you for all your efforts on this fascinating topic.

                              @guy038 OK, I’ll take the bait… If you really want to count exclamation points:

                              Add the missing exclamation point, but also add a separator:

                              Find what : ^(!*)
                              Replace with : $1!/\t

                              Now, group by tens:

                              Find what : (!{10})+
                              Replace with : $0/

                              followed by:

                              Find what : !{10}
                              Replace with : !

                              Repeat the above two steps until the first step finds nothing.

                              Now, count the exclamation points in each digit and remove the forward slashes:

                              Find what : (?:(!{9})|(!{8})|(!{7})|(!{6})|(!{5})|(!{4})|(!{3})|(!{2})|(!{1})|())/
                              Replace with : (?{1}9)(?{2}8)(?{3}7)(?{4}6)(?{5}5)(?{6}4)(?{7}3)(?{8}2)(?{9}1)(?{10}0)

                              This assumes there are no exclamation points or forward slashes elsewhere in the text. Of course, the forward slash (/) can be replaced with any character that is not in use.

                                Hi, @mohammad-al-thobiti and All,

                                Let’s recapitulate from the very beginning !


                                If we start with this kind of INPUT text :

                                127.0.0.1   a.z.xy.dummy-hyphen.org
                                127.0.0.1   a.example.com
                                127.0.0.1   cdef.x.example.com
                                127.0.0.1   my_site.net
                                127.0.0.1   b.dummy-hyphen.org
                                127.0.0.1   b.cde.fgh.example.com
                                127.0.0.1   abc.defgji.kkkkk.my_site.net
                                127.0.0.1   cd.xyztuv.ab-cd.4567.example.com
                                127.0.0.1   dummy-hyphen.org
                                127.0.0.1   example.com
                                

                                With the following regex S/R :

                                SEARCH (?x) ^ \Q127.0.0.1 \E \h+ (?: [\w-]+ \. )* ( [\w-]+ \. [\w-]+ ) $

                                REPLACE \1

                                => We just keep the main domain ;

                                dummy-hyphen.org
                                example.com
                                example.com

                                Of course, your present file deals with about 181,170 lines !

                                So, instead of using the last @coises’s method to find out the different occurrences of each line ( again, a very clever method ! ), I will simplify the goal by using a Python script to get the job done more quickly !

                                This script is an adaptation from a @alan-kilborn’s script. I named this script Count_Strings_Occurences.py

                                # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
                                
                                '''
                                
                                Adapted from :  https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/20598/show-a-list-of-same-word-before-replacement/2  and  .../20
                                
                                
                                By DEFAULT, this script PASTES, in a NEW tab,   a SORTED list of ALL the STRINGS of the CURRENT file, with their NUMBER of occurrences
                                
                                IF a NORMAL selection EXISTS, the script PASTES a SORTED list of ALL the STRINGS of the SELECTION,    with their NUMBER of occurrences
                                
                                
                                NOTES : 
                                
                                - The CURRENT file processed DO NOT need to be SORTED, in any way !
                                
                                - If you want a SORTED list of ALL the LINES  with their NUMBER of occurrences, don't FORGET to INCLUDE all the POSSIBLE chars of the lines in the REGEX !
                                
                                    For example, if file may contain the line 'zip-archive.net', the REGEX, after editor.research, should be  r'[\w.-]+', which includes the DOT and the DASH !

                                • Run the Plugins > Python Script > Scripts > Count_Strings_Occurrences.py Python script

                                => At once, a new tab will open with all the results :

                                zindova.net....................................... 26

                                Note that the entries are sorted by the line contents, to easily access any of these !

                                • Thus, do a zero-length RECTANGULAR selection of all the numbers of this new tab, at column 52

                                • Run the Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines As Integers Descending option

                                => You should get your expected OUTPUT :

                                Here you are !


                                • Proceed, in the same way, with your present file

                                • Switch to your file tab ( selection and sort are not required )

                                • Run again the Plugins > Python Script > Scripts > Count_Strings_Occurrences.py Python script

                                • In the opened new tab, do a zero-length RECTANGULAR selection of all the numbers, at column 52

                                • Run the Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines As Integers Descending option

                                Bingo !

                                  as you can see
                                  5c203023-6172-4dfa-ad8b-8e404222160d-image.png
                                  this is the code:

                                  \.real-news-online.com, myvnc.com, 1example.com, 2example.com\s
                                  

                                  is this the correct method?

                                            @Mohammad-Al-Thobiti said in I would like to group all similar domains, not by alphabet.:

                                            How can I do this?

                                            At some point, you need to take the lessons you’ve been taught through the dozens of regexes that people have handed you throughout this discussion, and try to figure it out yourself.

If you are new to the Forum, and new to regular expressions, we will often give help on the first one or two data-transformation questions, especially if they are well-asked and you show a willingness to learn; and we will point you to the documentation where you can learn how to do the data transformations for yourself in the future. But if you repeatedly ask us to do your work for you, you will find that the patience of usually-helpful Community members wears thin. The best way to learn regular expressions is by experimenting with them yourself, and getting a feel for how they work; having us spoon-feed you the answers without you putting in the effort doesn’t help you in the long term and is uninteresting and annoying for us.
