I am new to notepad++. I am used to Textpad which I think provide a great feature for finding string in files. Here is one that I like
a) You are reading a text file and want to find a particular string in files.
b) Use mouse hightlight (or just double click the word) the words, then press Ctrl+F5,
Textpad will pop up a dialog box to show the default/previous search parameters
(such as regular expression, directory to search, file type, etc).
c) A list of matched line, together with its file name, line number, will be listed on a
new text document (read only).
d) Double clicking any of the line will open the respective file and position the cursor to
the line.
The thing that I missed is to highlight the text and press Ctrl+F5. In notepad++, we have to manually type in the text in the search dialog. F5 will find the highlighted text in the current document.
Any similar thing available?
