use notepad ++ to modify a wordlist
-
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? -
This is not the right syntax.This I delete virtually every sentence
^[1-7{qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm}]{1,}$how can I set this array?

@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

Notepad++, since its6.0version, at the TWO addresses below :http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html

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.
