(?-i)^(?: +*+ [A-Z][A-Z0-9 ]+ *+\R)(?:.*\R){1,25}(?: +*{4} WARNING - THE REMAINING +[0-9]+ INCREMENT(S) OF THE LOAD STEP WILL BE IGNORED)$

This did the wonder, thanks for the help man on my own i would never been able to figure this out. I am new to notepad++ will appreciate if you can share some learning material to start from basics.

Thanks a Lot.

(?i-s)(.*\R){12}^.ignored.\R

The screenshot looks fuzzy but i had entered the same equation that was been mentioned by @guy038.

Will go through the FAQs for sharing data and will understand how to post on this.

I tried the final Regex :

(?i-s)(.*\R){12}^.*ignored.*\R

Thanks for actively resolving the issue i was facing, will appreciate if u can share some learning material to start from the basics.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello, @sam-rathod, @peterjones, @mkupper, @alan-kilborn and All,

I suppose that dealing with files with important size may lead to this regex message, even if this regex does work properly with small files :-((

So, @sam-rathod, could you try with this new regex version :

SEARCH/MARK (?-is)^(?:.*\R){12}.*IGNORED.*\R

Hello,

If i have range of text for example

"This is the specific text in the document that i will search"
Line1 that dont want marked
Line2 that dont want marked

Line3 that dont want marked

Line 1 want to mark
Line 2 want to mark
Line 3 want to mark
Line 4 want to mark
Line 5 want to mark

""This is the specific text in the document that i will search"
Line1 that dont want marked
Line2 that dont want marked

Line3 that dont want marked

Line 6 want to mark
Line 7 want to mark
Line 8 want to mark
Line 9 want to mark
Line 10 want to mark

The output i am expecting

Line 1 want to mark
Line 2 want to mark
Line 3 want to mark
Line 4 want to mark
Line 5 want to mark
Line 6 want to mark
Line 7 want to mark
Line 8 want to mark
Line 9 want to mark
Line 10 want to mark

^.*This is the specific text in the document that i will search.*\R(?:.*\R){5}((?:.*\R){5})

Tried various option but unable to skip the lines as everything after specific text is getting marked.

Hi, @sam-rathod and All,

I do not understand clearly what you want to achiveve !

Given this INPUT text, below :

"This is the specific text in the document that i will search"
Line1 that dont want marked
Line2 that dont want marked

Line3 that dont want marked

Line 1 want to mark
Line 2 want to mark
Line 3 want to mark
Line 4 want to mark
Line 5 want to mark

""This is the specific text in the document that i will search"
Line1 that dont want marked
Line2 that dont want marked

Line3 that dont want marked

Line 6 want to mark
Line 7 want to mark
Line 8 want to mark
Line 9 want to mark
Line 10 want to mark

And let’s suppose that you’ve previously bookmarked all the lines with the Line #..# want to mark syntax

Then just use the Search > Bookmark > Remove Unmarked lines option and you’re left with the following expected OUTPUT text :

Line 1 want to mark
Line 2 want to mark
Line 3 want to mark
Line 4 want to mark
Line 5 want to mark
Line 6 want to mark
Line 7 want to mark
Line 8 want to mark
Line 9 want to mark
Line 10 want to mark

Sample of data i am trying to figure out.

Hello, @sam-rathod and All,

Ah, OK. Now, I understand all the story !

Just note that you should have put your text as raw text, using the </> indication when replying and not pasting an image. Indeed, even with a OCR plugin, within my favorite graphic viewer, I was not able to convert the letters of your image into raw text :-(( This explains the delay of my reply !

So, with this kind of INPUT text :


 SACS CONNECT Edition V(15.1) - CL                                                        Company: .
             *********** SACS IX SEASTATE PROGRAM ***********               DATE 23-OCT-2024  TIME 07:31:44   SEA PAGE   208
                                     ***** SEASTATE COMBINED LOAD CASE SUMMARY *****
                                              RELATIVE TO MUDLINE ELEVATION
   LOAD  LOAD              FX           FY           FZ           MX           MY           MZ
   CASE  LABEL
                          (KN)         (KN)         (KN)       (KN-M)       (KN-M)       (KN-M)
                         
   127  7119             -125.62      -190.83     -4342.63       4582.3      -3032.8      -1382.1
   128  7120                0.54      -212.18     -4388.18       5164.0        863.9      -1432.1
   129  7121              111.01      -159.93     -4333.70       3602.5       4267.7      -1399.5
   130  7122              202.80       -78.61     -4340.74       1053.9       7076.4      -1374.5
   131  7131              264.55       -39.54     -4341.04       1111.7       8733.7      -1299.3

Just use the search regex, below, in order to mark the expected lines :

SEARCH / MARK (?-is)^.+SEASTATE COMBINED LOAD CASE SUMMARY.+\R(?:.+\R){5}\K(?:.+\R){5}

Notes :

Note that I use non-capturing groups (?:.......), instead of capturings ones (.......), for each block of five lines.
Now, after the complete line containing the string SEASTATE COMBINED LOAD CASE SUMMARY, with this exact case
And the five lines that follow,
The \K syntax cancel any previous search, so far
So, the next five lines are only taken in account by the regex engine and marked

Method :

Open the Mark dialog ( Ctrl + M )
Uncheck all box options
SEARCH / MARK (?-is)^.+SEASTATE COMBINED LOAD CASE SUMMARY.+\R(?:.+\R){5}\K(?:.+\R){5}
Just check the Bookmark line, Purge for each search and Wrap around box options
Select the Regular expression search mode
Click on the Mark All button
Now, you may either :
- Copy all these bookmarked lines in an other new tab with the Search > Bookmark > Copy Bookmarked Lines option
- Click on the Copy Marked Text button and paste the clipboard contents in an other tab
