I want to find the last occurrence of a string in a large text file in Windows. Is there a way to do this using Notepad++ (also do suggest methods beyond Notepad++ if you know a better method)?
I don't want to install any add-on or anything else, if possible.
Just press Ctrl+F or from the Menu - Search -> Find and then type your string in search field. In direction choose Up, and it will start from the end.(Make sure you haven't point your mouse anywhere on the text before all this, or it is before the first character in the file.)
