Answer 1

You could use Notepad++'s Python Script plugin. Not the best solution, but it works!

1. Install Python Script plugin, from Plugin Manager or from the official website.
2. Then go to Plugins > Python Script > New Script. Choose a filename for your new file (eg find_numbers.py) and copy the code that follows.
3. Run Plugins > Python Script > Scripts > find_numbers.py and a new window will show the matched numbers.

from re import finditer

number = 1234567

console.clear()
console.show()
content = editor.getText()
for row, line in enumerate(content.split('\n')):
    for m in re.finditer(r'[0-9]+', line):
        if int(m.group(0)) > number:
            console.write('row %d, col %d-%d: %s\n' % (row, m.start(), m.end(), m.group(0)))

So for example take this text:

This is a test 1234568
with asome pretty big numbers 0 1234567
Can anybody help?
999999999999 99999999
123

The above solution will return you this:

row 0, col 15-22: 1234568
row 3, col 0-12: 999999999999
row 3, col 13-21: 99999999

You can obviously change the script to output the information in any way you prefer.
