Lets say I have a text file with 100,000 words (text file A), and text file with 500 words (text file B). How would I filter text file A for words in text file B
Eg If the word is in both A and B, remove the word from A

Do you have to use Notepad++ ? If not, you can use Cygwin/Unix utilities and do this:
This matches words from
text_file_b(-f) againsttext_file_aand prints those that don’t match (-v)I appreciate this doesn’t use Notepad++, but I would advocate using the right tools for the right job, and I’m not sure an interactive editor is what you want here.
