In this example, we ended up with only 15 lines: Tadaaa! 🥳 We have now removed duplicates and blank lines, and the data has been sorted alphabetically. Select all the text, click TextFX → TextFX Tools → Sort lines case sensitive (at column) or Sort lines case insensitive (at column):Ĥ.
In this example, we have 500 lines, and half of them are blank:ģ. In the Notepad++ window, paste the text that you want to remove duplicates and blank lines from. Click TextFX → TextFX Tools → Enable Sort outputs only UNIQUE (at column) lines:Ģ. We want to find all the unique data types used, and also sort them alphabetically.ġ. In this example, we have a list of data types used in a SQL Server table. Remove Duplicates, Remove Blank Lines, and Sort Data in One Operation Install the TextFX plugin ( this is not available in the 64-bit version of Notepad++).Install the 32-bit version of Notepad++.And as with any kind of automation: the more data you work with, the more time you save 🤓 When needed, execute that 2 key shortcut and it will perform the requested sort.You can use the 32-bit version of Notepad++ with the TextFX plugin to quickly remove duplicates, remove blank lines, and sort data - in one operation! This is a fast and easy way to get the results you want in just a few seconds. Provide a 2 keystroke option (3 or 4 keys also an option) to setup the shortcut and you’re done. Select from the “Settings” menu, “Shortcut Mapper” and scroll down until you see the sorting options. I personally think setting a shortcut to the sort (of your choice) is the way to go. Check out the Plugins on offer, maybe one of those might help you. If you looked at plugins you could likely build some automation into the sorting, but that might entail learning a new language, such as PythonScript. Alternatively you could generate a macro which could sort and also perform other steps if you needed other functions performed at the same time. However you can easily set up a shortcut (2 keys minimum) to activate a sort as and when required. There isn’t an auto sort setting in Notepad++ as far as I know.
Is there a way to automatically sort text as integers descending everytime new data is added, or do I have to do it manually?
