so i am currently trying to figure out how to use the find feature..
the problem is that notepad++ won't ignore the whitespaces in front of the lines.
i could use the "ignore whitespace" feature in dreamweaver to get the search result that i needed.
is there any similar feature in notepad++ that does that?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

yes, use regular expressions. A whitespace character is represented by \s, so the following all lines starting with "foo", no matter the indentation:
^\s*foo
