<p dir="auto">A way to do it would be to copy all of your original data into a new tab, and then act on that tab with the following (as the suggestion will be a <em>destructive</em> replacement).</p>
<p dir="auto">Step 1:  Add a line at the top of the is new tab, containing <code>2222</code> only and then press Enter to add a line-ending to this line</p>
<p dir="auto">Step 2:  Add a line at the bottom of the is new tab, containing <code>1111</code> only and then press Enter to add a line-ending to this line</p>
<p dir="auto">Step 3: Perform this Replacement action:</p>
<p dir="auto">Invoke the <strong>Replace</strong> dialog (default key: ctrl+h)<br />
<strong>Find what</strong> zone: <code>^2222\R(?s).*?^1111\R</code><br />
<strong>Replace with</strong> zone: make sure this is EMPTY<br />
<strong>Wrap around</strong> checkbox: ticked<br />
<strong>Search mode</strong> selection: <em>Regular expression</em><br />
Action: Press <strong>Replace All</strong> button</p>

<p dir="auto">What is your definition of a “paragraph”.  Notepad++ has no such term so we need to know what you think it means.</p>
<p dir="auto">You can do a <strong>Find Next</strong>, then <strong>Copy</strong>, then paste somewhere else, then another cycle (<strong>FInd Next</strong>, <strong>Copy</strong>, paste), then another…and another…  What I’m saying is you can’t “select all results and copy it” somewhere else…UNLESS your results contain complete lines (in which case you can do it by copying the <strong>Find results</strong> panel after you do a <strong>Find All in Current Document</strong>.  Your situation sounds like it might be a candidate for this.</p>
