RegExp full syntax

[trumpeta]

Hi
where do I find full RegExp syntax N++ uses? I need to do S&R with sequential numbering in replacements.

Thanks for quick response. So NPP uses no internal replacement counter?

Well, I guess I could comment on that if I knew what you meant by “internal replacement counter”…

Ah, okay, I see from your first posting what you mean. No, Notepad++ has no built-in way of doing that. However, it is doable with a bit of prep work. These threads will show how:
