    Jnotepad - 2009-02-04

    Want to know how to cut and paste results when doing following:

    Open file in Notepad++

    Click on Search

    Click on  Find in files tab

    Enter what you want to find in "Find what: " field

    Click on Find them all

    Window opens in Notepad++ named: Find results - ### files

    I want to cut and paste results into another file

    Or if i could save results to another file that would be ok too...

    Goal is i need results and cannot cut or extract so results can be used else where.

    Thanks for any and all help

      select all with "ctrl+a", then right click and choose "copy"
      ("ctrl+c" does not seem to work in 5.1.4)
      now you can paste it anywhere

        If you are trying to isolate a section of code or tags (XML) as in my case, you can copy the selection you need to paste.

        Go to 'TextFX'

        Go to 'TextFX VIZ'

        Select Hide lines without clipboard text

        This will display only the highlighted text.

        Then select all, copy, and paste to another file or application.

        Hope this helps.

        BTW, I'm using v5.0.3 so I'm not sure if your version works the same.

      In the next Npp release you can just select the text that you want, copy using Ctrl+C, and paste to a new document as usual.

        Is there a timeline on the next release date or should I just stick w/ 5.0.3 for now?

          I think it's gonna be in the next few days, but you'll have to ask Don about it I guess.
