Answer 1

Usually

\w*NPN\w*$

matches a word containing the letters NPN and consisting of alphanumeric characters, only if it is at the end of a line ($ matches the end of the line, which is of course right before a CRLF).

I’m not sure if Notepad++ does support the \w shorthand, though. If this doesn’t work, try

[A-Za-z0-9_]*NPN[A-Za-z0-9_]*$

but be aware that only ASCII letters and digits will now match, no accented characters. If that’s not a problem, fine.
