        Sorry, but is not understandable to me. Can you provide an example?

            I assume that the first 10 characters are always digits and can be any combination?

                Is it important that we keep the lines as it is or can we sort the document first?

                  The document is sorted by the first 10 characters.
                  I want to mark the lines first to check them, and then delete

                    what about this?

                    find:(.{10}).*\R\1

                    Checking regular expression.

                      (.{10}).*\R\1

                      Thank you very much. It works.
                      Last question: How could I delete the line duplicated ? For example just the line 4

                        if it is not important which line gets deleted we could use

                        find what:(.{10}).*\R(?=\1)
                        replace with is empty

                            If there are more two lines duplicated, can I use this regex ?

                              1234567890;Example1;100

                              1234 ;Example2;200

                              1233334554;Example3;300

                              1234567890;Example7;700

                              I need to mark the line 1 and 4.

                              The document is sorted by the first 10 characters.

                              Hmmm, not seeing the document as being sorted… what am I missing?

                                Yes, I guess so.

                                  maybe just a copy/paste before the sorting took place.
