I have just downloaded Notepad++ as I use it to work with large data. I usually search for lines missing data so I do CTRL+F and search for ,, as that means my data is missing. After it gives me the results I try to highlight them by CTRL+A but it seems it copies the original text instead. I know people did CTRL+SHIFT+Arrow to do it but this does not work on mine.

Any advice?

Notepad++ does this by either marking or bookmarking the lines.

Example file;

Now press Ctrl+H and click the Mark tab. Enter the ,, search criteria, click Bookmark line checkbox, then finally the Mark All button.

Mark lines

Now with the lines Bookmarked, from the drop down menu click Search --> Bookmark, and there's a multitude of options; whether you want to copy them out to another file, remove them altogether, etc.

Bookmark options

As a final note, make sure your Notepad++ is up to date, as features have been added since you asked this question. The current version as of writing is v6.6.3
