How to get search partially instead of exact match?

[LogeshNguhan]

The text file:
3005490
3032390
3053390
3090546
3090452
3090234
If I search for “3090”, the output would be,
3090546
3090452
3090234

But I want results like,
3005490
3032390
3053390
3090546
3090452
3090234

Please help me on this, thanks.

Find: 30\d*?90
Search mode: Regular expression

If your goal is to have N++ highlight only those parts you have shown as bolded, in its Search results window or when you use Find Next, then sorry, you’re not going to get that.

Additional REFerence. And another ONE.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks for the help. It helped to find all the lines with ‘3090’.
But is there any way to find only the lines that start with ‘30’ and end with ‘90’?
(i.e) it should not return result like,
3009056

Yes, there is. Did you have a look at the references I supplied to you in my previous post?

@Alan-Kilborn It took some time to understand. Now I got the answer.

^30\d*90$

Thanks.

If your goal is to have N++ highlight only those parts you have shown as bolded…

This could be achieved by using a suitable regex with a logical or directive and Mark All.

I meant when using the simple regex I supplied.
