    @Ivan-Bútora , Everything there looks good so far, so nothing there. That makes me think it’s the Mark of the Web. Exit Notepad++. Open up Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Notepad++ . Right click on notepad++.exe, do Properties, and make sure the bottom of the General tab doesn’t have the “unblock” checkbox: [image: 1788129434335-1148248e-bfe9-4518-9567-b9be7c1d3b09-image.jpeg] if it does, checkmark it, and choose Apply / OK Then go to c:\Program Files\Notepad++\Plugins\Config, and do the same right-click Properties > General check on nppPluginList.dll. (Since Notepad++ runs, but the Plugins Admin doesn’t show up, this is most likely. I just started with the exe to be methodical.) Then also check c:\Program Files\Notepad++\updater\gup.exe , just to make sure it will update properly in the future. If that works: then, in the future, if you manually ran the installer exe , you might want to check for the “unblock” on the installer before you do – I think if you unblock that, it will then not block the exe/dll that it installs. Similarly when downloading the zipfiles, unblock the zipfile, and everything you extract will inherit being unblocked.

    Corrupted Session Starting in Notepad++ v8.6.5, it will store session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak next to session.xml, and will automatically use that if session.xml is corrupted. However, if you ever find that you open Notepad++ (especially after an update or a system crash) and find that the files opened weren’t in the same state as when you let them, you can try this procedure: Exit Notepad++ Windows Explorer, go to %AppData%\Notepad++ (or in your appropriate config-file location if you aren’t using AppData for config) Rename session.xml to session.xml--keep Copy session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak to session.xml Run Notepad++ → If it’s now showing the right copy of your files, great! If not, exit Notepad++, delete session.xml, and rename session.xml--keep back to session.xml .

    I mean, it literally says “Move to recycle bin”, not “Delete forever”. Windows removed it’s prompt when deleting files starting with Windows 10. What is the reason Notepad++ still keeps these prompts?

    @PeterJones said: PeterJones said: I assume the Search++ syntax would be the same Per the Search++ announcement, it can do the numeric calculations that were first developed for Columns++. I should update the FAQ soon… I recommend waiting on that update. Search++ is not “production ready” yet. People shouldn’t be using it at present unless they want to be beta testers. Once I reach a 1.0 release I’ll make a serious effort to avoid changing things that people would expect to stay the same, but right now, anything could be changed at any time. Numeric expressions in Search++ do not have quite all the features of numeric expressions in Columns++; in particular, the history options (using the values captured or computed in a previous match) aren’t supported in Search++, and the exprtk return statement isn’t supported. However, I think all the features directly cited in the Math FAQ are included. The reg(1) syntax still works, but in Search++ you can use $1 as well. However, a quirk is that since Search++ doesn’t have the persistent Decimal separator is comma option of Columns++, it’s necessary to use regc(1) or $$1 for European-style numbers with periods and/or commas. Finally, Columns++ can only work on the active document. Search++ has a Find in Files option, but Replace in Files has not yet been implemented. So if your guess was correct and @neculai-i.-fantanaru wants a regular expression because it must be applied to many files at once, @thomas-knoefel’s MultiReplace is the best choice among presently-existing options. Oh, and MultiReplace has recently added an option to use exprtk formulas as an alternative to its Lua syntax.

    @guy038 Hello @guy038, Thanks for this thorough test, and no, you didn’t do anything wrong. Your investigation uncovered two separate behaviors in the code: Binary Files: MultiReplace “Find in Files” currently skips binary files, while native N++ searches every file it lists. That accounts for most of the gap in your USB drive numbers. I’ll look at how to make this configurable and more transparent. UTF-16 Bug: There is indeed a bug in how “Find in Files” handles UTF-16 encodings compared to “Find in Docs” and “Replace in Files”. This most likely explains the missing files in your smaller Test folder too. Since the forum isn’t ideal for sharing files and tracking bug fixes, I have opened a GitHub issue for this here: https://github.com/daddel80/notepadpp-multireplace/issues/133 I would gladly take you up on your offer to share the E:\Test folder contents so I can verify the fix against them. Could you please attach that folder as a zip or provide a link in the GitHub issue? Thanks again for your time and for helping to polish the next release candidate!

    I’m used to ISPF editing, using column based information. (SPFLite is a dumbed down version) I can do most of what I need in there, but N++ fills in holes in ISPF edit. For example, N++ can add, change or delete information across several lines. RegEx is available on ISPF edit, but I’m too busy to learn it. N++ does this much easier.
