    [RegEx] [Notepad++] Delete all similar 1st 3 characters string lines


    Hello guys!

    I am trying to delete lines with similar first 3 characters using RegEx

    I figured out this:

    ((?<=\n)|^)([^\n]{3})([^\n]\n)(.\n)?\2[^\n]*($|\n)

    However, it marks only 1 duplicate.

    How to let it mark all the other duplicates?

    Can somebody please fix the RegEx?

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards,


    :)

    Windows 10 Character Map and Notepad


    Well I found the answer to my question. I should have thought through this a little longer.

    Notepad is native in ANSI mode.
    However Wordpad can work in UTF-8 mode.
    I found steps to make Notepad usable in UTF-8 mode but there are a lot of steps and once again there has to be a registry hack to make it work.
    Now how do I make Workpad be listed in the most used application through the Start Menu?

    Notepad in Windows 10 doesn't display Chinese character

    Hello everyone!

    The Notepad in my Surface Pro 3 using Windows 10 doesn't display Chinese characters correctly, it shows strings of strange characters instead of Chinese. I would appreciate very much if anyone could help me solve this problem.

    Regards,

    [RegEx] [Notepad++] Delete all similar 1st 3 characters string lines

    Deleting Lines in a Text File Given Strings From Another File Using Set-String (Powershell)

    Basically what's happening is that I have two files, one with a list of allowed users and another list of users that are actually on the desktop. What I'm trying to do is use a for loop to grab each name in the AllowedUsers.txt file, and use Select-String
    to find any names that match and delete them from the original Users.txt (with the list of users actually on the desktop). The end goal is to have a list of users that aren't allowed on the desktop left in the Users.txt file, where I can then for loop through
    once again and simply delete those users through command line.

    Unfortunately, I have been unable to get this to work as I don't fully grasp how Select-String or for loops work, but any help writing the script would be greatly appreciated.
