Find record(s) with a different length than

[NineIron]

Most of the records in my file have a length of 251. How can I identify the few with a smaller record length?

Find what: ^.{0,250}$

[X] Regular expression

This assumes you are using Posix regular expression syntax:

Configure | Preferences | Editor

[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax

I get a message "Cannot find regular expression: '^.{0,250}$'

[ben_josephs]

Either there are no lines shorter than 251 characters or you're not using Posix regular expression syntax.

What will TextPad do to "find" the rows? Will they be highlighted?
I did have to switch to Posix expression.

If you select Find Next it will highlight the next string that matches the search expression. If you select Mark All it will bookmark all lines that match the search expression.
