It can be invoked directly with Search > Find or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F. This dialog box has one tab for each of the following features:įind tab: Gives access to searching and counting. You can see the active shortcut for any menu item in the menu entry, or in the Shortcut Mapper. There are three main built-in search mechanisms: the standard (dialog-based) Find / Replace / Find In Files / Mark, the dialog-free Next / Previous search-navigation, and the Incremental Search.Īll keyboard shortcuts mentioned below are the default values, but are configurable in the Shortcut Mapper. Generating a count of matches is also possible. You can also mark search results with a bookmark on their lines, or highlight the textual results themselves. I tried with no luck in notepad++.There are multiple methods to search (and replace) text in files. I know mod_rewrite used “$1” to print what was found be the prior regex. I am really a regex noob having only used them a few times in PHP, Perl and Apache mod_rewrite so this was all new to me. The problem came when I wanted to do the replacement. I drafted a regular expression that would find only what I was looking for. Fortunately all the the “PC” prefixes were intact but the number only entries were not (that data was collected into an Excel file with cells set to the “number” format instead of “text”). First, I knew that the correct format should be something like this: 0# or pc0#. Rather than scripting the fix I figured notepad++ would do the trick. The problem was that this format was not ready to be inserted into our database. The data was a list of our internal PCs and their serial number. I was working with tabular data that looked something like this: From time to time I would use a regex to search and then replacing everything that was found. When using find and replace in the past I stuck mostly to the basics. I have been using if for years but just recently have come to love the program even more. It’s easy to use, includes syntax coloring for just about anything, folds code nicely and even supports regular expression find and replace features. When scripting or manipulating text data I prefer using notepad++.
