    Is it possible to permanently save a find expression used for counting? If not, could this be added?

    Thanks.

      Yes, record your counting action as a macro, give it a name, and it will appear on the Macro menu for future use.

        How do I get the count results out of the macro? There appears to be no feedback / output.

        Thanks.

          The output appears on the status bar of the Find window.
          It’s a downside, you have to have that window open when doing this.

            Oh, I see. Well, that’s better than nothing. Thank you.

            I don’t know if this is the correct place to suggest it but, in any case, perhaps Notepad++ could be updated to automatically open the find window and inject the search string to make the whole thing more intuitive.
