Find and Replace first 100 lines that match in editplus or Notepad++

I need to find certain characters and want to replace them only for the first 100 lines. Is there any easy way to do this in Notepad++ or editplus?

Solution

  • In Notepad++ you should be able to just highlight the first 100 lines, and then do a replacement on the selection. For instance, to replace A with a, just highlight your lines and then use:

    Find:    A
Replace: a
