How do I find and extract two lines in Notepad++












2















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.
