use notepad ++ to modify a wordlist

Raccolta Giochi Pc Profilo

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

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

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 :

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

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.
