Notepad++ plugin - LinefilterPosted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 7:27 p

Hello,

I have developed a plugin for Notepad++ using PB

The plugin allows you to filter a text for a search string and as result only lines containing the search string will be displayed.

I'd be interested in opinions about the plugin...bugs..problems..feature ideas

So if someone is interested you can download the plugin here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/109029325/LineFilter2.dll

Just copy it to your Notepad++ plugin folder and you should have an extension "Linefilter2"

Great!, just what I needed!
An option to limit the search to a column range would be nice.

Just today I have add RegEx support, so maybe you could use a Regual expression to filter columns

For example if you have this data:
111 222 333
111 222 333
222 111 333
111 333 222
bal bal bla
xxxxxxxxxxxx

If there are 4 spaces between the columns then the following RegEx will find only the "222" in the 2.column:
....222....
(The . stands for single character)

There may be better RegEx patterns for this purpose - you can google for it.

PS:
The plugin is still "beta" so it probably needs some more testing..but I hope that is works for you

Seems to be a bug with a split screen. When I have the cursor on the right pane and search, a new file is opened in the right pane, but the search data is pasted into the front file on the left pane (altering an unrelated file).
