How to search for multiple, independant, lines in Notepad++

69 Views Asked by At

I have 2 text files, one is the old txt file containing hashes with numbers after the ":", the other newer one consists of more different lines of hashes, without numbers after the ":"

I'm trying to compare the two files, to link the numbers after the ":" on the old file to the lines on the new file (after the ":")

The old text file is something like this:

  • 326e3e78:50002010200392
  • 473e9a83:83928372818828
  • 892d8s28:37263826738273
  • 893g7k19:23623283723617

Whilst the new text file is like this: 326e3e78: <- This line is there on the old file, and includes numbers after the ":"

  • 563g4e26: <- This line isn't there on the old file

  • 892d8s28: <- This line is there on the old file, and includes numbers after the ":"

  • 893g7k19: <- This line is there on the old file, and includes numbers after the ":"

I've tried using npptoolbucket, as the built-in search function of np++ doesn't support multi-line searching. However, everytime I try to search one of these hashes, the toolbucket isn't able to find any of them.

Could anyone help me out? thanks in advance!

p.s: explanation might be unclear, I'm happy to add some things.
