RegExp to find path not working (any more)?

[Claudia Svenson]

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)^.+\\

It works.
Thank you
