Multi selection and multi edit

Alan Kilborn

I presume OP has this, where the inverted text is the product of “multi-select”:

and then has this in the clipboard:

Peter
Guy
Claudia
Scott
Alan
Terry
Michael

And wants to end up with this text after replacement:

Note that I styled the text in the cyan color myself, just so the replacements could be easier to see.

Of course I could be totally wrong about what the OP has and wants. :-)

Oops, it appears I’ve turned Guy into a philandering filmmaker, Scott into an infidel, and Michael into an encourager of adultery. Sorry, all! :-)

but her in notepad++ every word replaced by the 6 words that in clipboard that makes me crazy

As I understand you comment, I think you missed an important condition to get what you want - in order to distribute replacements over a multiselection, you must copy the replacement strings as a rectangular selection, not a normal one.

Hope this helps.

@guy038 you are amazing, thank you very much
i was selecting the 6 word by ctrl+A
thats why it replace every word by the 6 words i have selected and copied in clipboard

I released a Notepad++ bundle where the multi selection is already installed, so you can simply test it:
https://github.com/bitagoras/PyPadPlusPlus/releases
It’s actually a portable version that includes a Python environment. But you don’t need this for mult selection.

Below you can see how this looks like. The only non-standard edit command I used here is <Strg> + <D>.

<Strg> + <D> ??
What does that mean?

Sorry, I use a German keyboard. I wanted to write <Ctrl> + <D> ;-)
