I would like to do this :
If I click on "Martin" all word at the same lines like (Martin luter king) will be select or if I click on "king" all word at the same lines like (The king of the pop) will be select
Martin lutter king
The king of the pop
Tupac was the best one
Almost of the code has been found.
$richtextBox1.SelectionStart = $richtextbox1.GetFirstCharIndexOfCurrentLine()
$richtextBox1.SelectionLength = ??????
I don't know how to find the last character from the current line
I did it after several try one line
Martin lutter king
The king of the pop
Tupac was the best one
$result=$richtextbox1.Lines[$richtextbox1.GetLineFromCharIndex($richtextbox1.GetFirstCharIndexOfCurrentLine())]
write-host $result
When I click on "was" or "tupac" ,this text "Tupac was the best one" has been selected
that's work for other lines

I'm using visual studio code and run into a weird problem. I'm not sure how I got here - I could have accidently pressed a shortcut unknowingly.
I'm trying to select a phrase, link or anything that crosses multiple lines (whether the lines are true lines or due to word wrap). When I select multiple lines, it doesn't automatically select the text at the start and end between the two points. Rather, it just selects the length of text for that line and repeats it in the subsequent lines. See the image below to understand.
Image of issue
As you can see, I am trying to select the words from "the" to the end of "sub". Instead of selecting all the words between the two, it selects the text "the instru" and selects every line with the same amount of characters/length.
In order to show what I am expecting, I have pasted the text into Notepad and done the same thing.
What I am expecting
As you can see, all the words between "the" and "sub" are selected.
If anyone has any idea about how to fix this, I would be greatly appreciative.
Below is a copy of the text if the images don't display.
Follow the instructions below for a click guide to retire and/or add 'School'.
Best practice if there is a change in 'School' structure would be to 'retire' any existing school setup that is no longer required and add the new sub school information. The reason why we don't just edit existing school names (typically) is due to leaving historical data intact.
Try using ctrl+shift+P and typing "Toggle Column Selection Mode"
So I got a body of space separated text and I'm trying to mine names. These names are the first :
Tsuru Stork greeting for a long last life. Unisex
Yama Mountain; Restrainer; Unisex
Yuka A bright Star Unisex
Yumi A beautiful archery bow Unisex
Yuna The archer Unisex
How can I select everything right of the first string in each row?
I figured out how to select the names themselves with this:
(\n+)[A-Z]{1}\w+
But there doesn't seem to be an easy way in word to highlight, copy then paste the selection.
In summary, how do I select elements after the first string in a new line?
If this is done in Microsoft Word then try the following:
*^13
This stands for:
- A space character.
* - Match any sequence of characters.
^13 - Match a newline character (ASCII 13).
If I understood your question correctly, this will highlight all text to the right of the first word in each line. See the below screenshot (don't mind the Dutch pls.):
If you actually need to make sure you select everything after the first multiple space seperation, then maybe use {3,4}*^13:
Again, don't mind the Dutch along with the locale parameter delimiter (semi-colon) in the occurence indicator. This will be a comma if your locale is English.
You can use regex like : (^\w+)
^ start of line
\w+ matches world char one or many times

I have an HTML file that has around 700 of my bookmarks. Each line has link and a tag like the following:
<li>Strunk, William, Jr. 1918. The Elements of Style</li>
The file has multiple lines with the same tags. I want to group the lines with the same tag next to each other. I was trying to do it in vscode. I can select multiple occurrences of the same phrase with Ctrl+Shift+L, but I could not select the lines. Is there a way for doing this?
After your comment below that clarified what you are trying to do I think you will find this easier than your solution.
Select the text to check.
Ctrl-Shift-L selects all occurrences. The command is Select All Occurrences of Find Match - if that is bound to something else on your OS, use that.
Ctrl-L will select the entire line. (Changed from Ctrl-i in Feb. 2019.) That is using the command Expand Line Selection - again find that command in your Keyboard Shortcuts and use the same command.
Cut and paste them where you want.
There is also an extension vscode-dup-checker that will find and delete duplicate lines. I don't know if you actually want to delete the duplicates though.
I added a gif to show it in action - it only uses steps 1-4 above:
Ok, I found one method that works. I don't know if it the best though.
After Ctrl+Shift+L, you have cursors on all the lines with that phrase. Then pressing Home will take you to the beginning of all of them and Shift+End then will select all those lines on which you have the cursor. Then cut the text and paste it wherever you wish. Came out to be pretty useful for me while I was editing a html file with 700 links.
Say you have the following text:
abc
123
abc
456
789
abc
abc
I want to remove all "abc" lines and just keep one. I don't mind sorting. The result should be like this:
abc
123
456
789
If the order of lines is not important
Sort lines alphabetically, if they aren't already, and perform these steps:
(based on this related question: How do I find and remove duplicate lines from a file using Regular Expressions?)
Control+F
Toggle "Replace mode"
Toggle "Use Regular Expression" (the icon with the .* symbol)
In the search field, type ^(.*)(\n\1)+$
In the "replace with" field, type $1
Click ("Replace All").
If the order of lines is important so you can't sort
In this case, either resort to a solution outside VS Code (see here), or - if your document is not very large and you don't mind spamming the Replace All button - follow the previous steps, but in steps 4 and 5, enter these:
(based on Remove specific duplicate lines without sorting)
Caution: Blocks for files with too many lines (1000+); may cause VS Code to crash; may introduce blank lines in some cases.
search: ((^[^\S$]*?(?=\S)(?:.*)+$)[\S\s]*?)^\2$(?:\n)?
replace with: $1
and then click the "Replace All" button as many times as there are duplicate occurrences.
You'll know it's enough when the line count stops decreasing when you click the button. Navigate to the last line of the document to keep an eye on that.
Coming in vscode v1.62 is a command to eliminate duplicate lines from a selection:
Delete Duplicate Lines in the Command Palette
or
editor.action.removeDuplicateLines as a command in a keybinding
(there is no default keybinding for this command)

I haven't played with it much besides the "Unique Lines" command but it seems quite nicely done (including attempting a macro recorder!).
To add to #Marc.2377 's reply.
If the order is important and you don't care that you just keep the last of the duplicate lines, simply search for the following regexp if you want to only remove duplicte non-empty lines
^(.+)\n(?=(?:.*\n)*?\1$)
If you also want to remove duplicate empty lines, use * instead of +
^(.*)\n(?=(?:.*\n)*?\1$)
and replace with nothing.
This will take a line and try to find ahead some more (maybe 0) lines followed by the exact same line taken. It will remove the taken line.
This is just a one-shot regex. No need to spam the replace button.
This now also takes the comment of #awk into account, in where the last line has to have a linefeed in order to be identified as a duplicate. This is no longer the case now by excluding the \n from the line to search and adding a $ to the line found.
I just had the same issue and found the Visual Studio Code package "Sort lines". See the Visual Studio Code market place for details (e.g. Sort lines).
This package has the option "Sorting lines (unique)", which did it for me. Take care of any white spaces at the beginning/end of lines. They influence whether lines are considered unique or not.
Install the DupChecker extension, hit F1, and type "Check Duplicates".
It will check for duplicates and ask if you want to remove them.
Try find and replace with a regular expression.
Find:
^(.+)((?:\r?\n.*)*)(?:\r?\n\1)$
Replace:
$1$2
It is possible to introduce some variance in the first group.
If you don't mind some Vim in your VS Code. You can install Vim emulation plugin.
Then you can use vim commands
:sort u
It will sort lines and it will remove duplicates
Sublime Text 3
It has blisteringly fast native permutation functions.
Edit > Permute Lines > Unique or ⇧⌘U, and
Edit > Permute Selections > Unique
Visual Studio Code is my daily driver. But, I keep Sublime Text on standby for these situations.
Not actually in Visual Studio Code, but if it works, it works.
Open a new Excel spreadsheet
Paste the data into a column
Go to the Data tab
Select the column of data (if you haven't already)
Click Remove Duplicates (somewhat in the middle of the bar)
Click OK to remove duplicates.
It is not the best answer, as you specified Visual Studio Code, but as I said: If it works, it works :)
I would like to search multiple files via eclipse for the following 2 lines:
#Length(max = L_255)
private String description;
and replace them with these two:
#Length(max = L_255, message="{validator.description.len}")
private String description;
Another tip on how to get the regex for a selected block.
Open one of the files that contains the multiple lines (multiline) to search or replace.
Click Ctrl+F and select "Regular expression". Close the Find/Replace window.
Select the block you need and click again Ctrl+F to open the Find/Replace window.
Now in the Find text box you have the regular expression that exactly matches your selection block.
(I discovered this, only after creating manually a regexp for very long block :)
Search are multi-line by default in Eclipse when you are using regex:
(\#Length\(max = L_255)\)([\r\n\s]+private)
I would like to add "private String description;"
(\#Length\(max = L_255)\)([\r\n\s]+private\s+?String\s+description\s*?;)
replaced by:
\1, message="{validator.description.len}")\2
It works perfectly in a File Search triggered by a CTRL-H.
As mentioned in Tika's answer, you can directly copy the two lines selected in the "Containing Text" field: those lines will be converted as a regexp for you by Eclipse.
CTRL+H does take two lines if you use regexp (and you don't have to write the regexp by yourself, eclipse does that for you).
Select your lines.
Click CTRL+H. The search dialog opens up.
If "Regular expression" is already checked, eclipse will have converted the two lines you search for into regexp for you, click Search.
If "Regular expression" if not already checked", check it and click Cancel (eclipse remembers your choice).
Select your lines again.
Click CTRL+H. The search dialog opens up. This time "Regular expression" is already selected. eclipse will have converted the two lines you search for into regexp for you, click Search.
A quick tip for including multiple lines as part of a manually constructed regular expression:
Where you would normally use .* to match any character zero or more times, instead consider using something like (?:.|\r?\n)*. Or put an extra ? at the end to make it non-greedy.
Explanation: . doesn't match new lines so need to do an "either-or": The parentheses match either the . before the pipe or the new line after it. The ? after \r makes the carriage return before the line feed optional to allow Windows or Unix new lines. The ?: excludes the whole thing as a capturing group (which helps to avoid a stack overflow).
Click Ctrl + F and select "Regular Expression" and then search the lines. In case to perform the same on multiple files, click Ctrl + H, click on 'File Search' and perform the same.
Select the folder that contains all your files and press Ctrl+H.
