Hi Andrew, Thanks for this. This is really interesting to know. I am lucky though, because in this case...the length of the characters that I want deleted is certainly less than 5000. ________________________________ From: Andrew Hood <[email protected]> To: General NEdit discussion list <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2009 12:04:34 AM Subject: Re: Need help please Offer Kaye wrote: > On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 3:03 PM, marvin carandang wrote: > >>Hello Nedit Experts, >> >>I have a long list of digital pattern and would like to delete certain groups of texts in between.

Of course you need to check the "Regular > Expression" checkbox before hitting the "Window" button. One caveat. The default maximum length of a search/replace string is possibly not enough. Recent versions of source/nedit.h have: #define SEARCHMAX 5119 If you are happy building your own version you can increase this and recompile. I usually change it to 32767. -- There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes. -- Dr. Who -- NEdit Discuss mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss -- NEdit Discuss mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
