Delete too long words in a code
I have a list of words in one line, separated by commas and quotation marks, like this:
"WORD1","WORD2","WORD3"...
I would like to know if I can delete the words that are more long that 9 characters. How can I do this? I can use Notepad++ if needed.

You could use Powershell to do that:
File test.txt:
"xxxxxx7","xxxxxxx8","xxxxxxxx9","xxxxxxxx10","xxxxxxxxx11"
Powershell:
get-content test.txt | foreach-Object {
$_.Split(',')
} | % {if($_.length -lt 12) {$_}} | & {$ofs=',';"$input"} | out-file test2.txt
test2.txt:
"xxxxxx7","xxxxxxx8","xxxxxxxx9"
-lt 12 means lower than 12 (9 chars + 2 quotes = 11)

- Find what:
"[^"]{10,}",?
- Replace with:
LEAVE EMPTY
- check Wrap around
- check Regular expression
- Replace all
Explanation:
" # a double quote
[^"]{10,} # 10 or more non quote character
" # a double quote
,? # an optional comma
Input example:

Output:
"word","wordword","word"
