I want to copy all the lines with 903 in it. Is there a way to do it in notepad++?

Solution

  • You could do:

    • Search > Mark... or Ctrl+M
    • Find what : ^903\b
    • Tick Bookmark line and Regular Expression
    • Mark All : All the lines that begin with 903 are now marked.
    • Copy Marked Text

    After that:

    • goto destination file then Ctrl+V
