      @Mohammad-Al-Thobiti said in I would like to group all similar domains, not by alphabet.:

      Thank you. I will clarify the issue.

      Using the method I suggested, if you start with:

      zindova.net
      zindova.net
      zinfandelreviews.net
      zinfandelreviews.net
      zingardi.net
      zingcoach.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      zinoiosijek031.net
      ziobaweek.net
      ziomik.net
      zioninfosystems.net
      zioninfosystems.net
      zip-archive.net
      

      and do the repeated Replace Alls, then sort, you’ll get:

      !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!zinoiosijek031.net
      !zindova.net
      !zinfandelreviews.net
      !zioninfosystems.net
      zingardi.net
      zingcoach.net
      ziobaweek.net
      ziomik.net
      zip-archive.net
      

      The first line represents 25 occurrences — there are 24 leading exclamation points. Each of the next three lines represent two occurrences (one leading exclamation point). The remaining lines occurred only once.

      Is that not what you needed to accomplish?

        Hello, @mohammad-al-thobiti, @peterjones, @coises and All,

        Oh, @coises, your method of finding out how many times each address occurs, is very elegant and really clever ! I’d never have thought of such sophistication on my own :-((


        So, @mohammad-al-thobiti, starting with this INPUT file :

        zindova.net
        zindova.net
        zinfandelreviews.net
        zinfandelreviews.net
        zingardi.net
        zingcoach.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        zinoiosijek031.net
        ziobaweek.net
        ziomik.net
        zioninfosystems.net
        zioninfosystems.net
        zip-archive.net
        zip-archive.net
        zip.net
        zip.net
        zip.net
        zipaphoto.net
        zipbah.net
        zipexpose.net
        ziph.next
        ziph.next
        

        I’m using the @coises’s regex, that I slightly modified :

        SEARCH (?x-s) ^ ( !* ( .+ ) ) \R ( !* ) \2 $

        REPLACE !\3\1

        • Run it several times, in order tp get the message Replace All: 0 occurrences were replaced

        => You should get this text :

        !zindova.net
        !zinfandelreviews.net
        zingardi.net
        zingcoach.net
        !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!zinoiosijek031.net
        ziobaweek.net
        ziomik.net
        !zioninfosystems.net
        !zip-archive.net
        !!zip.net
        zipaphoto.net
        zipbah.net
        zipexpose.net
        !ziph.next
        

        Now, we just add one ! character to get the exact number of occurrences of each address

        SEARCH (?x-s) ^ (?= . )

        REPLACE !

        !!zindova.net
        !!zinfandelreviews.net
        !zingardi.net
        !zingcoach.net
        !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!zinoiosijek031.net
        !ziobaweek.net
        !ziomik.net
        !!zioninfosystems.net
        !!zip-archive.net
        !!!zip.net
        !zipaphoto.net
        !zipbah.net
        !zipexpose.net
        !!ziph.next
        
        • Then, run the Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending

        => We get this sorted text :

        !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!zinoiosijek031.net
        !!!zip.net
        !!zindova.net
        !!zinfandelreviews.net
        !!zioninfosystems.net
        !!zip-archive.net
        !!ziph.next
        !zingardi.net
        !zingcoach.net
        !ziobaweek.net
        !ziomik.net
        !zipaphoto.net
        !zipbah.net
        !zipexpose.net
        

        Finally, runing the four regex S/R, below :

        SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !                         (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   1\t
        SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!                        (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   2\t
        SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!!                       (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   3\t
        SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE  25\t
        

        => You should end up with this OUTPUT text :

        25	zinoiosijek031.net
        3	zip.net
        2	zindova.net
        2	zinfandelreviews.net
        2	zioninfosystems.net
        2	zip-archive.net
        2	ziph.next
        1	zingardi.net
        1	zingcoach.net
        1	ziobaweek.net
        1	ziomik.net
        1	zipaphoto.net
        1	zipbah.net
        1	zipexpose.net
        

        Which should be a practical document to exploit !

          @ guy038 and All,

          Thank you my friends for the amazing results.

          We have received the correct information. The most commonly used domains cleverly.

          In any case, as you can see in the picture, the outcome is wonderful.

          H8.png

          How do I write the code like this that you mentioned:

          SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !                         (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   1\t
          SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!                        (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   2\t
          SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!!                       (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE   3\t
          SEARCH  (?x-s) ^ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (?= [^!\r\n]+ )        REPLACE  25\t
          

          Did I write until I reached Col: 6,597? I think it is difficult and takes a lot of time. And I want to thank all of you for all your efforts on this fascinating topic.

            @guy038 OK, I’ll take the bait… If you really want to count exclamation points:

            Add the missing exclamation point, but also add a separator:

            Find what : ^(!*)
            Replace with : $1!/\t

            Now, group by tens:

            Find what : (!{10})+
            Replace with : $0/

            followed by:

            Find what : !{10}
            Replace with : !

            Repeat the above two steps until the first step finds nothing.

            Now, count the exclamation points in each digit and remove the forward slashes:

            Find what : (?:(!{9})|(!{8})|(!{7})|(!{6})|(!{5})|(!{4})|(!{3})|(!{2})|(!{1})|())/
            Replace with : (?{1}9)(?{2}8)(?{3}7)(?{4}6)(?{5}5)(?{6}4)(?{7}3)(?{8}2)(?{9}1)(?{10}0)

            This assumes there are no exclamation points or forward slashes elsewhere in the text. Of course, the forward slash (/) can be replaced with any character that is not in use.

              Hi, @mohammad-al-thobiti and All,

              Let’s recapitulate from the very beginning !


              If we start with this kind of INPUT text :

              127.0.0.1   a.z.xy.dummy-hyphen.org
              127.0.0.1   a.example.com
              127.0.0.1   cdef.x.example.com
              127.0.0.1   my_site.net
              127.0.0.1   b.dummy-hyphen.org
              127.0.0.1   b.cde.fgh.example.com
              127.0.0.1   abc.defgji.kkkkk.my_site.net
              127.0.0.1   cd.xyztuv.ab-cd.4567.example.com
              127.0.0.1   dummy-hyphen.org
              127.0.0.1   example.com
              

              With the following regex S/R :

              SEARCH (?x) ^ \Q127.0.0.1 \E \h+ (?: [\w-]+ \. )* ( [\w-]+ \. [\w-]+ ) $

              REPLACE \1

              => We just keep the main domain ;

              dummy-hyphen.org
              example.com
              example.com
              my_site.net
              dummy-hyphen.org
              example.com
              my_site.net
              example.com
              dummy-hyphen.org
              example.com
              

              Of course, your present file deals with about 181,170 lines !

              So, instead of using the last @coises’s method to find out the different occurrences of each line ( again, a very clever method ! ), I will simplify the goal by using a Python script to get the job done more quickly !

              This script is an adaptation from a @alan-kilborn’s script. I named this script Count_Strings_Occurences.py

              # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
              
              '''
              
              Adapted from :  https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/20598/show-a-list-of-same-word-before-replacement/2  and  .../20
              
              
              By DEFAULT, this script PASTES, in a NEW tab,   a SORTED list of ALL the STRINGS of the CURRENT file, with their NUMBER of occurrences
              
              IF a NORMAL selection EXISTS, the script PASTES a SORTED list of ALL the STRINGS of the SELECTION,    with their NUMBER of occurrences
              
              
              NOTES : 
              
              - The CURRENT file processed DO NOT need to be SORTED, in any way !
              
              - If you want a SORTED list of ALL the LINES  with their NUMBER of occurrences, don't FORGET to INCLUDE all the POSSIBLE chars of the lines in the REGEX !
              
                  For example, if file may contain the line 'zip-archive.net', the REGEX, after editor.research, should be  r'[\w.-]+', which includes the DOT and the DASH !
              
              '''
              
              from Npp import editor
              
              sel_start = 0
              sel_end = editor.getLength()

                  else:
                      histogram_dict[word] += 1
              
              output_list = []
              
              for k in histogram_dict: output_list.append('{0:.<50} {1}'.format(k, histogram_dict[k]))
              
              #for k in histogram_dict: output_list.append('{}={}'.format(k, histogram_dict[k]))   # INITIAl format of Alan Kilborn

              # https://doc.python.org/2.7/library/string.html#format-examples
              
              output_list.sort()
              editor.copyText('\r\n'.join(output_list))
              
              notepad.new()
              editor.paste()
              
              # console.clear() ; editor.research (r'\w+', lambda m: console.write (m.group(0) + '\n'))
              

              • So, select the random list of 168 lines, below.

              Note that I suppose that the IPV4 addresses and the sub-domains were previously deleted

              • Run the Plugins > Python Script > Scripts > Count_Strings_Occurrences.py Python script

              => At once, a new tab will open with all the results :

              zindova.net....................................... 26
              zinfandelreviews.net.............................. 24
              zingardi.net...................................... 11
              zingcoach.net..................................... 7

              ziph.net.......................................... 16
              

              Note that the entries are sorted by the line contents, to easily access any of these !

              • Thus, do a zero-length RECTANGULAR selection of all the numbers of this new tab, at column 52

              • Run the Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines As Integers Descending option

              => You should get your expected OUTPUT :

              zinoiosijek031.net................................ 28
              zindova.net....................................... 26
              zinfandelreviews.net.............................. 24
              zip.net........................................... 18
              ziph.net.......................................... 16
              zioninfosystems.net............................... 12
              zingardi.net...................................... 11
              zip-archive.net................................... 11

              zipexpose.net..................................... 2
              zipbah.net........................................ 1
              

              Here you are !


              • Proceed, in the same way, with your present file

              • Switch to your file tab ( selection and sort are not required )

              • Run again the Plugins > Python Script > Scripts > Count_Strings_Occurrences.py Python script

              • In the opened new tab, do a zero-length RECTANGULAR selection of all the numbers, at column 52

              • Run the Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines As Integers Descending option

              Bingo !

                Hello @ guy038 & All

                Thank you. everything is ok, I need to add more than one domine to the Find what:

                as you can see
                5c203023-6172-4dfa-ad8b-8e404222160d-image.png
                this is the code:

                \.real-news-online.com, myvnc.com, 1example.com, 2example.com\s
                

                is this the correct method?
                How can I do this?

                          @Mohammad-Al-Thobiti said in I would like to group all similar domains, not by alphabet.:

                          How can I do this?

                          At some point, you need to take the lessons you’ve been taught through the dozens of regexes that people have handed you throughout this discussion, and try to figure it out yourself.

If you are new to the Forum, and new to regular expressions, we will often give help on the first one or two data-transformation questions, especially if they are well-asked and you show a willingness to learn; and we will point you to the documentation where you can learn how to do the data transformations for yourself in the future. But if you repeatedly ask us to do your work for you, you will find that the patience of usually-helpful Community members wears thin. The best way to learn regular expressions is by experimenting with them yourself, and getting a feel for how they work; having us spoon-feed you the answers without you putting in the effort doesn’t help you in the long term and is uninteresting and annoying for us.

                              Hi, @mohammad-al-thobiti and All,

                              Again, I’m going to simplify the problem, using a Python script, called Replacements_Lists.py, listed below :

                              
                              '''
                              
                              Refer to : https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/19889/
                              
                              
                              - Given TWO files :
                              
                              - A MAIN one, located in the MAIN view, containing a LIST of strings or lines
                              
                              - A SECOND one, located in the SECONDARY view, containing :
                              
                                  - A LIST of strings to REPLACE, EACH followed with a TABULATION and its CORRESPONDING replacement string
                              
                              
                              This script replaces EACH expression of the MAIN file by the CORRESPONDING replacement string, found in the SECONDARY file
                              
                              
                              NOTES :
                              
                              - The REPLACEMENT strings may be ABSENT IF you do NOT write anything AFTER the TABULATION separator. Thus, these SPECIFIC searched strings will be DELETED
                              
                              - The strings of the MAIN file, NOT found in the SECONDARY file, are simply REWRITTEN
                              
                              - The LEADING strings of the SECONDARY file, NOT found in the MAIN file, are simply NOT used
                              
                              - The list of the DIFFeRENT ranges < SEARCHED string > \t < REPLACEMENT string > must END with a FINAL line-break or NOTHING else ( \z )
                              
                              '''
                              
                              from Npp import editor1, editor2
                              
                              replacements = dict(line.split('\t') for line in editor2.getText().splitlines() if line)
                              
                              def replace_with(m):
                                  try:
                                      r = replacements[m.group()]
                                  except KeyError:
                                      r = m.group()
                                  return r
                              
                              editor1.rereplace('(?-s).+', replace_with)
                              

                              So, just follow this road map :

                              • Open your entire file containing all your records ( about 181,170 ) in the main view

                              • Open your file containing the 1.027 lines, whose all the occurrences must be deleted in the main file

                              • Move this file in the secondary view ( IMPORTANT )

                              I suppose that these two files ONLY contains main domain names, one per line

                              Run the Edit > Blank operations > Trim Leading and Trailing Space option for the two files

                              • Now, in the secondary view, use this regex S/R :

                                • SEARCH (?<=.)$

                                • REPLACE \t

                              in order to produce a correct replacement list for some domain’s names by nothing

                              • Move back to your file in the main view

                              • Run the Plugins > Python Script > Scripts > Replacements_List.py option

                              => Immediately, all the lines, of the main view, which match one of the lines of the secondary view, have been replaced with an empty line

                              • Run the Edit > Line Operations > Remove Empty Lines
