I want to copy all the lines with 903 in it. Is there a way to do it in notepad++?

Answer 1

You could do:

• Search > Mark... or Ctrl+M
• Find what : ^903\b
• Tick Bookmark line and Regular Expression
• Mark All : All the lines that begin with 903 are now marked.
• Copy Marked Text

After that:

• goto destination file then Ctrl+V
