      Any way to incorporate a list into with the “replace with” function so for example a list in another document is formatted like a list and I want to find a single word in another document and I want to replace that word with that entire list for each line without it showing the entire list for each “character” I replace all at once.
      LIST
      “Z”
      “X”
      “C”
      “V”
      “B”

      Find what: ''Character"
      Replace with: “Z” “X” “C” “V” “B”

      “Character”>“Z”
      “Character”>“X”
      “Character”>“C”
      “Character”>“V”
      “Character”>“B”

      Any help would be appreciated I am just getting started in learning how notepad++ works thanks.

        I am afraid this is not possible with the build-in Replace function.
        You could however install the PythonScript plugin, where you can then script such a replace.
