@mkupper said in How to bookmark lines around a line containing a specific expression 'XXX' ?:

(?-i)^(?: +*+ [A-Z][A-Z0-9 ]+ *+\R)(?:.*\R){1,25}(?: +*{4} WARNING - THE REMAINING +[0-9]+ INCREMENT(S) OF THE LOAD STEP WILL BE IGNORED)$

This did the wonder, thanks for the help man on my own i would never been able to figure this out. I am new to notepad++ will appreciate if you can share some learning material to start from basics.

Thanks a Lot.

(?i-s)(.*\R){12}^.ignored.\R

The screenshot looks fuzzy but i had entered the same equation that was been mentioned by @guy038.

Will go through the FAQs for sharing data and will understand how to post on this.

I tried the final Regex :

(?i-s)(.*\R){12}^.*ignored.*\R

Thanks for actively resolving the issue i was facing, will appreciate if u can share some learning material to start from the basics.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello, @sam-rathod, @peterjones, @mkupper, @alan-kilborn and All,

I suppose that dealing with files with important size may lead to this regex message, even if this regex does work properly with small files :-((

So, @sam-rathod, could you try with this new regex version :

SEARCH/MARK (?-is)^(?:.*\R){12}.*IGNORED.*\R

Hello,

If i have range of text for example

"This is the specific text in the document that i will search"
Line1 that dont want marked
Line2 that dont want marked

Line3 that dont want marked

Line 1 want to mark
Line 2 want to mark
Line 3 want to mark
Line 4 want to mark
Line 5 want to mark

""This is the specific text in the document that i will search"
Line1 that dont want marked
Line2 that dont want marked

Line3 that dont want marked

Line 6 want to mark
Line 7 want to mark
Line 8 want to mark
Line 9 want to mark
Line 10 want to mark

The output i am expecting

Line 1 want to mark
Line 2 want to mark
Line 3 want to mark
Line 4 want to mark
Line 5 want to mark
Line 6 want to mark
Line 7 want to mark
Line 8 want to mark
Line 9 want to mark
Line 10 want to mark

^.*This is the specific text in the document that i will search.*\R(?:.*\R){5}((?:.*\R){5})

Tried various option but unable to skip the lines as everything after specific text is getting marked.

Hi, @sam-rathod and All,

I do not understand clearly what you want to achiveve !

Given this INPUT text, below :

"This is the specific text in the document that i will search"
Line1 that dont want marked
Line2 that dont want marked

Line3 that dont want marked

Line 1 want to mark
Line 2 want to mark
Line 3 want to mark
Line 4 want to mark
Line 5 want to mark

""This is the specific text in the document that i will search"
Line1 that dont want marked
Line2 that dont want marked

Line3 that dont want marked

Line 6 want to mark
Line 7 want to mark
Line 8 want to mark
Line 9 want to mark
Line 10 want to mark

And let’s suppose that you’ve previously bookmarked all the lines with the Line #..# want to mark syntax

Then just use the Search > Bookmark > Remove Unmarked lines option and you’re left with the following expected OUTPUT text :

Line 1 want to mark
Line 2 want to mark
Line 3 want to mark
Line 4 want to mark
Line 5 want to mark
Line 6 want to mark
Line 7 want to mark
Line 8 want to mark
Line 9 want to mark
Line 10 want to mark

No i am not able to bookmark only the specific line that i want mark.

Basically i want to find a specific text , ignore 4 lines after it and mark& select 5 line after the specific text & 4 lines.

Sample of data i am trying to figure out.

Hello, @sam-rathod and All,

Ah, OK. Now, I understand all the story !

Just note that you should have put your text as raw text, using the </> indication when replying and not pasting an image. Indeed, even with a OCR plugin, within my favorite graphic viewer, I was not able to convert the letters of your image into raw text :-(( This explains the delay of my reply !

So, with this kind of INPUT text :


 SACS CONNECT Edition V(15.1) - CL                                                        Company: .
             *********** SACS IX SEASTATE PROGRAM ***********               DATE 23-OCT-2024  TIME 07:31:44   SEA PAGE   208
                                     ***** SEASTATE COMBINED LOAD CASE SUMMARY *****
                                              RELATIVE TO MUDLINE ELEVATION
   LOAD  LOAD              FX           FY           FZ           MX           MY           MZ
   CASE  LABEL
                          (KN)         (KN)         (KN)       (KN-M)       (KN-M)       (KN-M)
                         
   127  7119             -125.62      -190.83     -4342.63       4582.3      -3032.8      -1382.1
   128  7120                0.54      -212.18     -4388.18       5164.0        863.9      -1432.1
   129  7121              111.01      -159.93     -4333.70       3602.5       4267.7      -1399.5
   130  7122              202.80       -78.61     -4340.74       1053.9       7076.4      -1374.5
   131  7131              264.55       -39.54     -4341.04       1111.7       8733.7      -1299.3

Just use the search regex, below, in order to mark the expected lines :

SEARCH / MARK (?-is)^.+SEASTATE COMBINED LOAD CASE SUMMARY.+\R(?:.+\R){5}\K(?:.+\R){5}

---

Notes :

• Note that I use non-capturing groups (?:.......), instead of capturings ones (.......), for each block of five lines.

• Now, after the complete line containing the string SEASTATE COMBINED LOAD CASE SUMMARY, with this exact case

• And the five lines that follow,

• The \K syntax cancel any previous search, so far

• So, the next five lines are only taken in account by the regex engine and marked

---

Method :

• Open the Mark dialog ( Ctrl + M )

• Uncheck all box options

• SEARCH / MARK (?-is)^.+SEASTATE COMBINED LOAD CASE SUMMARY.+\R(?:.+\R){5}\K(?:.+\R){5}

• Just check the Bookmark line, Purge for each search and Wrap around box options

• Select the Regular expression search mode

• Click on the Mark All button

• Now, you may either :

  • Copy all these bookmarked lines in an other new tab with the Search > Bookmark > Copy Bookmarked Lines option

  • Click on the Copy Marked Text button and paste the clipboard contents in an other tab
