Multiple selection in Notepad++

Hello,
I just downloaded Notepad++ and I'm exploring the software.
I wanted to know if it was possible to automatically select multiple lines.
I need to share a file that includes 100,000 lines in 10 batches of 10,000 lines across 32 files. I started doing it manually but it's taking a long time, so if someone could tell me how to do it faster, that would be great.

In summary, is there a function that allows you to select lines 1 - 10,000 all at once?

Thank you for your help because I'm starting to experience pain in my wrist from doing it manually, and my mouse is also starting to get tired.

Best regards.

Hello,

The issue dates back 4 years, but well, I just found a solution!

In Notepad++, to select for example lines 1 to 10,000:

- Select line 1 using the "shift" and "page down" keys
- With the mouse, scroll down using the scrollbar on the right until line 10,000
- Hold down the "shift" key and click with the mouse at the desired end of the selection.

There you go, I was also tired of holding down the "page down" key for over 30 seconds =p

Maybe with a macro.
I don't know more.

Thank you for the response, but what is a macro?
How do you create it?

In the "Macro" menu → Record

I recorded a macro, then I selected 10,000 lines, cut them, and then I stopped recording. Did I do it right? Because I did that, but then when I try to use the macro, it doesn't do anything.

Sorry, I'm very new to this and I might have done something wrong.

Sorry, but I'm on Linux right now, so I wouldn't know how to check it (and I never use macros).
