    Hi,
    I am facing some problem understanding the Bookmark -> “Remove Unmarked Lines” option.

    The debug info from my notepad++.

    Notepad++ v8.1.4 (64-bit)
    Build time : Aug 21 2021 - 13:04:59
    Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
    Command Line :
    Admin mode : OFF
    Local Conf mode : OFF
    Cloud Config : OFF
    OS Name : Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit)
    OS Version : 1909
    OS Build : 18363.1801
    Current ANSI codepage : 1252
    Plugins : LocationNavigate.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll

    I have 3 lines in text window, I searched for one line and marked it. Then I selected the Bookmark -> “Remove Unmarked Lines” option to remove the unmarked lines, but surprisingly all the lines were removed. Note this is an example only, I am facing same problem with a text content of production error lines which I cannot share here.

    3 lines with one marked using regex ^one$

    chose option to remove unmarked lines.

    All lines are removed.

    Could you please help to understand how to remove lines which are not marked?

    Thanks,
    Prem

      @premkumar-bhaskal ,

      You have confused “Marks” with “Bookmarks” – they are similarly named, so it’s understandable.

      If you added the “Bookmark line” checkbox in the Mark Dialog, and Mark All, then it will add a circle ⚫ to the left of any lines that have a Mark (which is indicated by the change in color on the specific text); this ⚫ is the Bookmark.

      After adding those Bookmarks, now Search > Bookmark > Remove Unmarked Lines will keep the one line.

      There’s a (relatively new) section in the online usermanual that compares Bookmarks vs Marks
