  @michael-vincent Sigh…never mind. Apparently my fingers screwed up the typing in the overrideMap.xml file that I was switching to. I don’t know how, but it was misspelled on the letter that the cursor was on. I looked at it closer and noticed it was spelled “Dard” rather than “Dark” which is what the name was. What’s wierd is it actually showed it briefly, under regular dBASE…apparently the switch redrew it so even though it showed in the first Dark mode setting, when the tabs were switched and then refocused on it,…it didn’t read it…until I just corrected the spelling in the overrideMap.xml file. Sorry for the false alarm. :( (egg on face)

  Hello, and welcome to the FAQ Desk.

  This post contains links to “generic” regular expressions (regex) developed and/or published in this Community, which can be easily used to accomplish certain tasks in regex search-and-replace situations.

  And with no further ado:

  List of Generic Regex

  Replacing in a specific zone of text => useful for changing text between opening and closing tags

  Find a file that never contains a line that matches a specific expression

  Logic Gates for Regular Expressions => shows how to use “and”, “or”, and other logical combinations in your regex

  Using the Expressions

  Most of these “generic” have some combination of “glue” which is required to be in the search or replace fields as-is, and “variables” which the end user is expected to enter a specific value for. For example, glue|VARIABLE|kraggle ; if you were searching for epoxy with that formula, you would enter epoxy instead of VARIABLE, so it will would like glue|epoxy|kraggle when you put it into the Find what field in the search or replace dialog.

  Adding to this FAQ

  If you would like a new generic expression added here, make sure the expression has it’s own post someplace (a dedicated post for each regex in the “Blogs” category seems a good place). Giving example usages, and definitions of any of the VARIABLES, is essential to making it useful for other users. Then private-message one of the FAQ maintainers, including @PeterJones and @guy038 , or @-mention them in the Developing generic regex sequences topic, and they will work with you to get the generic expression description added to this FAQ.

  More thoughts:

  Change EditPlus’s OK button to “Use” (this would also save any unsaved changes to the current entry before “using” it) Change EditPlus’s Remove button to “Delete” (delete being a more-common Notepad++ usage) (this was actually OP’s idea); deletion would need to be confirmed Change EditPlus’s Up and Down buttons to be more explicit as “Move Up” and “Move Down” to move the currently selected entry up or down Add a “Duplicate” button to make a copy of the current entry (if there are unsaved changes to the current entry, save them before doing the duplication) Add an “Update” button if the user starts making changes to the current entry’s data (this was actually OP’s idea) but doesn’t want to close the box and “use” the current entry, just wants to save it To abort errant changes to the current entry, “Cancel” button would be used (have to re-press the “List…” button to come back in and do more editing) When the “List…” button is pressed, if the current find/replace data is not in the list, offer to add it? If it is in the list, make it the current entry for quick-access mods?

  @carlos-zhang-0 said in DSpellCheck not working:

  @PeterJones
  Thanks. I do believe it works for you.
  I think maybe it’s environment issue. E.g. some settings in win10?

  Not sure if you’re still having issues, but I ran into the same thing today. The resolution was to go into the DSSpellCheck settings and download the dictionary (English - US, for me). After that, spell check worked again.

  It’s morning here and I’m reviewing your words again. I don’t plan to “take over maintenance” as much as provide an update according to what seems to be the most sensible action.
  Having switched the language of display and chrome, it seems most other services use a very similar approach, and more likely than not this will just be a minor overhaul of some part of the translations.
  8abe9626-c89a-453b-b4de-5f6c5bad6910-image.png
  “File,” “(Make changes),” (a better alternative to edit), “(View),” “Tool,” etc. So, the current translation could definitely be made better based on these, since there seem to be a lot of instances of transliteration where there is a translated word that brings the same idea, and occasional replacement of transliterated words with English ones.

  Given this similarity, we’re recalibrating our aims, and will construct an email accordingly. Thanks for your suggestions and information

  @dulce-gd Conceivably you have anti-virus software running that incorrectly identifies Notepad++ or some of the optional software (Python?) as “trojan”. The difference from a trojan will be that you can un-install Notepad++.

  Except when the uninstall program is the part that’s being shown - rightly or wrongly - as the trojan.

  And it’s happened before now that hackers have taken Notepad++ - or other publicly available software - and have created their own evil copy of it, that installs malicious software. And installs Notepad++ hopefully but even so, that’s not a good thing to happen.

  Taking a position about Ukraine could make this more likely.

  TL;DR - “remove”, un-install, the Notepad++ software. If that comes out better - then it probably wasn’t trojan. Trojan software sticks.

  So then, discreetly share details of the detection with our host, or with your malware detection provider.

  When Google Translate changes your post to English:

  There are two project management models, waterfall and agile

  This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Notepad++. Please keep posts in the Notepad++ Community related to Notepad++.

  @nicholas said in Brainstorming for the slogan of new release v8.4...:

  while (conflict) standup++;

  Nice one, but the intention (for supporting Ukraine) is not explicit.
  However, thanks to your suggestion, I’ve got one:
  StandWithUkraine++
  the ++ not only goes with the suffix of project’s name, but also means the continuation of supporting Ukraine.
