How do I find and extract two lines in Notepad++
I have a large text file in which each two rows of data belong to one person.
For example:
RS08CO 000000000 Jane Doe
RW8578789654130000000
I need to be able to search for 'RS08CO' and grab the line beginning with RS08CO AND RW857878 ...
Any gurus out there have a suggestion?

Simply search for:
^RS08CO.*n^.*$
This looks for RS08CO
at the start of a line, then matches everything (.*n
) up to the end-of-line and the whole of the following line (^.*$
). You will need to enable Regular Expressions.
