How to Copy/Paste Same Text in Multiple Rows in Notepad++ File ?
We have following text file, opened in Notepad++. This file
contains only 20 lines, but you may have a file with 200 lines or more.
And if you want to do something like below, a series of manual copy/paste operation for each line will be time consuming and boring.
But there is a quick way you can get it done very smartly. Here are the steps.
Step 1: Put cursor
to the line from which you want to start. This will be the first line where expected
text will be added.
Step 2: Press shift + alt + down-arrow from keyboard, until
cursor expands till line to which you want to paste your text.
Step 3: Go to menu Edit --> Column Editor, Or simply
press keys alt + c.
It will open Column/ Multi-Selection Editor window.
Step 4: Enter your text in Text to Insert box. Click OK button and you are done.
If you want to add just one or two words, you can simply start
typing after Step 2, and it will be added at the start of each row.
