    @guy038

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

    349843b9-20c3-4b6a-882d-13d61776696b-image.png

    and then has this in the clipboard:

    Peter
    Guy
    Claudia
    Scott
    Alan
    Terry
    Michael
    

    And wants to end up with this text after replacement:

    879ea221-1581-4cf5-89bf-b6d763b5f794-image.png

    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.

                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>.

                alt text

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

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

                      FYI: This feature is implemented in Notepad++ core and it’ll be available in the next release.
                      You may want to check the PR to see if it meets your need:
