Hide text

[Filip Lauwyck]

Hello all,

I would like to set up notepad++ to handle java log files in a specific way, but I can not figure out how to set/configure the options that I want:

1. Collapse text between brackets, example
   Mar 24, 2023 09:30:30.589 [colocated-10-S1] [ TEST/Synchronize/187127ee9c7$-479a/187127ee9c7$-479a ] Initializing simple paged access, pagesize=50*
   Showing up as
   Mar 24, 2023 09:30:30.589 [ ... ] [ ... ] Initializing simple paged access, pagesize=50. I know that collapsing over different lines works, but how to do it when all information is on 1 line?
2. Show only the lines containing specific text, example search on TEST/Synchronize
   All other lines are hidden.
   But both without changing the file, only applying this on the displayed information.
   Is there a way to configure this?

Thanks,
Filip.

Not currently (N++ v8.5.1) possible.

Not currently possible. (Even my results from scripting such capability were not ideal.)
