-

so as u see i want to find all the "B"s that between them 9 lines ,im new to regex search
and i want to know how can i do it in another situation where there is longer lines with alot of numbers and special characters

This regex might work:
B\n[^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n[^\n]*\nB
Bis the letter B
[^\n]*is any amount of anything that isn’t a newline
\nis a newline
Thus, this will find two Bs with exactly 9 newlines in the text between them, no more or less.
This will also find Bs that have other Bs between them in these 9 lines. To fix that, change[^\n]*to[^B\n]*so that any of the lines between the two Bs cannot contain B. -
@saiapatsu thank you for fast replaying , it didnt work i tried also B\n[^\n]*\nB means one line between them right? it didnt work neither
-
@saiapatsu i guess there is somthing missing in the start of your regex

@saiapatsu said in how can i find 2 char with a specific number of line between them please see the screen shoot:
B\n[^\n]*\n
i got it at the start [B\n[^\n]\n… i had to remove the \n so it looks like this [B[^\n]\n…
thank you very much

@qishq-42
im wondering how can i find it in this situation

-
If you had 5 lines between the ones that started with the
Bs, you could use this:(?-s)^B(.*\R){6}BNote that the
6relates to the 5 you want – it is one more than the desired. -
@alan-kilborn it is working! Impressive! thank you man
-
@alan-kilborn one question how can i exclude the B from being in one of those 5 lines?

I suppose you then want this?:
(?-s)^B([^B]*\R){6}BSuggest you read about regex and Notepad++ starting with references HERE.
