    hi as the title, I would like to modify a series of phrases and codes open with notepad ++, and keep the list only those phrases or codes greater than 9 characters.

    I found the “Replace” function, and this command:

    ^ [1-8] {1} $

    question:
    1-This does not work with all numbers why?
    2-To also erase the court that command phrases I have to give? Thanks?

        @Raccolta-Giochi-Pc-Profilo If you would show an example of the text as it is and as it should look after the change, I’m sure @guy038 will show you how to do it with a proper regular expression! :-)

          Assuming each of the phrases/codes is on its own line in N++ with no leading or trailing spaces, this should find all those from one to eight characters:

          ^.{1,8}$

          The “.” means “any character” and the “{1,8}” means “anywhere from one to eight times.”

          If there are leading or trailing spaces, this might work as an alternative:

          \b.{1,8}\b

            Hello Raccolta Giochi Pc Profilo

            To delete any line of a file, included empty lines, which is smaller than 10 characters, just follow the few steps, below :

            • Move back to the very beginning of your file ( CTRL + Origin )

            • Open the Replace dialog ( CTRL + F )

            • Uncheck the . matches newline option , if necessary

            • Set the Regular expression search mode

            • In the Find what zone, type in ^.{0,9}\R

            • Leave the Replace with zone EMPTY

            • Click on the Replace All button

            Et voilà !

            Notes :

            • The dot . represent any standard character, different of End of Line character(s)

            • The {0,9} is a quantifier that means from 0 to 9 times the previous character ( the dot )

            • The \R syntax stands for any kind of End of Line character(s), that is to say :

              • The two Windows “End of Line” characters \r\n

              • The Unix “End of Line” character \n

              • The Old Mac “End of Line” character \r

            Best Regards,

            guy038

            P.S. :

            You’ll find good documentation, about the new Boost C++ Regex library, v1.55.0 ( similar to the PERL Regular Common Expressions, v1.48.0 ), used by Notepad++, since its 6.0 version, at the TWO addresses below :

            http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html

            http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/format/boost_format_syntax.html

            • The FIRST link explains the syntax, of regular expressions, in the SEARCH part

            • The SECOND link explains the syntax, of regular expressions, in the REPLACEMENT part

            You may, either, look for valuable informations, on the sites, below :

            http://www.regular-expressions.info

            http://www.rexegg.com

              To practice regular expressions go to http://www.regex101.com. You can sign up and store the regex you create, or store them in a public library visible to all users. It’s really neat! It explains every part of the regex for you and has a nice help facility. So it’s great for beginners and advanced regexers.
