Is there a nice, elegant regular expression that matches all the following line numbers. They all start as the first character on a new line and the one without the 'E have a space in front of them.
Code: Select all
000000
25
30
100
500000
E700000
999999

Is this what you need?
Find what: ^( +|E)[0-9]+
[X] Regular expression
It assumes you are using Posix regular expression syntax:
Configure | Preferences | Editor
[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax

Thanks Ben, that works great as always.
In this case it's something closer to PCRE.

Here is another solution also:
Search for: ^.{7}

Thanks Bob. That would also match the first 7 characters of comments, which can also occupy the same space as statement numbers. I didn't say that though, so your suggestion would work on the example I provided.
