      A text file contains lots of file names with leading pathes e.g.

      D:\aaa\bbb\ccc\myfile.doc

      I want to search now the next path (except filename) starting at the left in column 1.
      In the past I used therefore a regexp

      (?-s)^,+\

      This should find D:\aaa\bbb\ccc\ from sample above

      But when I enter this RegExp in NP++ Find dialog it does not find any of the hundreds path+filenames.

      Why not?

      Yes, I enabled Regular Expression Search mode at the bottom

        I assume it should be (?-s)^.+\ (note the dot instead of the comma.)

          Hello, @claudia-svenson, @ekopalypse and All,

          Eko, just a typo; the correct regex is :

          SEARCH / MARK (?-s)^.+\\

          BR

            It works.
            Thank you
