Is there a way to search a record by column numbers?

Hi.

Just want to know if this is possible in textpad. Searching by column number?


FILE
A2334
B1245
C2134

Search file for column 5 = "4"
A2334
C2134

TIA!

^....4
or
^.{4}4

The second of these assumes you are using Posix regular expression syntax:

Configure | Preferences | Editor

[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax

This worked! Thanks a lot!
