Below that, I've got my list of files it touched. Compare two files in Notepad++ Goto Menu -> Plugin ->Show Plugin Manager Under Plugin Manager Available tab, look for Compare, Select Compare. Then I can name that file regex_whatever_search.txt and at the top of it include the regex used for the search and replace.

In Notepad++'s search results pane, I can do a right click and copy, but that includes all the line #s and code which is just too much noise, especially when you're getting hundreds of matches.Īnyone know how I can get these results to just the file name/paths? I'm after something like: /about/foo.html The # of hits in each file would be a nice addition, but really it's just a list of file names/paths that I'm after. After that, click on the Accessories menu, choose the Compare option, and then click the Compare in the submenu. Note: You can also just drag Y release files to Notepad++ to open them. You can do it by clicking the Proceedings menu and selecting the Open and then select the files you want to open. What I really want is a separate text file of the file names/paths. Compare files and return only the differences using Notepad++. Now open two files that you want to compare. It also gives me the line #s which I don't really care that much about. I can do my regular expression searches in Notepad++ and it gives me file names/paths and number of hits in each file. Set As First to Compare - Shortcut Ctrl + Alt +1 It sets the foreground file as the first file and the background file.

I'm looking to build an audit trail so I at least know what files were touched by what searches/replaces. I need to do quite a few regular expression search/replaces throughout hundreds and hundreds of static files.
