Help me Please ...

- I have a text file.
- I selected a portion of text in column selection mode
- I tried to Replace(Ctrl+H) some text in selection but “in selection” check box was in active or not enable there.

- Kindly reply as soon as possible.
Thank you

It can’t be done in current Notepad++ software (8.3.3).

In case you want a workaround, change to the following procedure:
- I have a text file.
- I selected a portion of text in column selection mode
- Copy (Ctrl+C)
- Create a new tab (Ctrl+N)
- Paste (Ctrl+V)
- Replace(Ctrl+H) some text in the new tab, so you no longer need “in selection” , making sure to keep the length of each line consistent
- Column-select from the new tab
- Copy (Ctrl+C)
- Go back to original tab; if you didn’t do extra clicks, the original column from the original file will still be selected
- Paste (Ctrl+V)
et voila
- Kindly reply as soon as possible.
Sorry, you don’t get to decide how long it takes us to respond. We are all just fellow users, not paid support staff, and we just like discussing Notepad++ and helping fellow Notepad++ users get the best experience they can. You will get an answer when anyone reading the forum has the interest and ability to answer your question. That’s the way that such discussion forums work. Then again, I guess that is the practical definition of “as soon as possible”. It is just that when you demand that it be done ASAP, it makes it seem like you think you deserve an immediate response.

Is it not the case that what they want to do can be done with the PythonScript add-on and the script you provided here?

Yes, I usually point that out when questions such as this come up. I must have been distracted and forgot to do it with my earlier reply here.
