Occurences count

Hi there,

does Notepad++ have a ‘occurences count’ feature?
I mean, if I want to know home many times a word (search) if found in a single file or bunch of files, can this be done?

Best regards,
Giuseppe

Ehhhm,
I’ve used Np++ soooo many times…
and never noticed that the feature I’m looking for is right there … in the Search Tab.

In editors with no support for counting, you might still be able to replace your search phrase with itself (no actual changes to the content) - some editors do report the number of replacements that were carried out. No need for such hacks in NPP though!
