Editing large amounts of data. Notepad++ supports (some) regex find and replace, and I use it often to clean large lists or reformat data.

Thanks for mentioning that this is in Notepad++. I've only ever used macros for line editing, never even tried regex search and replace. I gave it a shot and it is incredibly powerful.

Wow! Thank you.
