    Hello,

    Otherwise, does Notepad++ 4.0.2 support the following syntax for regular expression: test(.){5} in order to find the word test followed by exactly 5 characters.

    Thanks and have a nice day.

    Lolo.

      Hello,

      Thanks for your answer.
      You are absolutely right. It works.
      But in my case, I need to find the following string:
      ^(.){41}TEST(.){48}TEST(.){22}TEST

      You can easily understand why it would be nice if Notepad++ could fully support regular expression syntax ;-)

      Do you know if it is planned for a next release?

      No, but this will do your requested example:
      test.....

      Best Regards
