Show a list of same words before replacement

what about the order from highest count?
also, the text has numbers 000 connected to some words, is it possible to exclude them?

It appears you are running this against a file that truly isn’t text.
That wasn’t in my original plans for it.
I don’t know that I really want to support that (with changes) and all that it could mean.
But of course you are free to figure out how to do it.

I have concerns about a lot of things, but these lines in your output are especially concerning:

=18
 =2
"=1

These should not occur (unless there is something “unseen” going on, because my search expression in the script requested that “word characters only” be searched for.

Thats fine, but somebody definitely should create a nice advanced addition to notepad++, its very useful.

My friend already coded all I need (in 20mins) and works perfectly, its compiled separately, but works great. (not in python)

Sounds like a job for a plugin.
But just for that simple function, a little script serves well.
But if a potential plugin added a bunch of analysis features, of which a histogram is just one…well, that would be valuable.

Sounds like overkill, but when one has to sponge off of a friend’s good will, you get what you get.
