    Hello,

    Is possible to count the same lines using regular expressions?
    For example, I want to count the same lines in this text

    Code: Select all

    trahrrnqw444
trahrrnqw444

    And to do something like this:

    Code: Select all

    1...trahrrnqw444
2...trahrrnqw444
3...trahrrnqw444
1...tzbnntehraerath
1...atebarbnr

      A regex is not the right tool for the job. The best you can do with a regex is match multiple lines that are identical. Assuming you are dealing with DOS/Windows line terminations ("\r\n"), Here is a perl style regex that does just that:

      Code: Select all

      ^(.*\r\n)\1*
      But you don't need regex at all. Here is a script that does the trick.

      Code: Select all

      // File CountIdenticalLines.js
UltraEdit.activeDocument.selectAll();            // select whole file contents
var text = UltraEdit.activeDocument.selection;   // whole file contents
if (text == '') exit();                          // exit if there is nothing to do
var lines = text.split("\r\n");                  // whole original file as array of lines
var newlines = [];                               // array to hold new concatenated lines
var dupcnt = 1;                                  // count of duplicate lines
for (var i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {         // loop through all lines in file
    if ((i > 0) && (lines[i] == lines[i-1])) {   // if this line same as last
        dupcnt++;                                // increment to dup count
    } else {                                     // otherwise
        dupcnt = 1;                              // reset count back to 1
    }
    newlines[i] = dupcnt + "..." + lines[i];     // prepend dup count to line
}                                                // loop for all lines
text = newlines.join("\r\n");                    // concat all lines
UltraEdit.activeDocument.write(text);            // and write back to file (replacing whole selection)
