    It seems to have been an isolated incident.

    eventually bookmark this topic if you continue using notepad++ for cobol, so if it ever happens again, you can quickly crosscheck with the portable version from above and peter’s information.

    best regards

    in addition you could use the builtin UDL feature to define a user define language like
    for example such a simple one
    Define an unique file extension and every time you open such a file it tries to color it.

    Thx a lot for your advise and useful and to the point helpful descriptions.

    Of course the easy strategy is to stick to current 7.6.3 32 bit forever (which works fine). But I believe this upgrade/jumplist problem is due to the mentioned win7/win10 recent upgrade. For example, I was not able to install the jumplist plugin, I could not upgrade another (no errors displayed), I also tried the
    ? -> upgrade

    menu option. But nothing happened. So I can live with creating the jumplist from scratch - the reported problem however did not show any recent files from taskbar icon and hence could not pin any files at all using the windows built in.

    I will try the following

    Uninstall current 7.6.3 Reinstall the x64 most recent one Try the plugin manager to see if it works Adapt the config that suits my need.

    If I’m not happy I once again revert using win restore… I am pretty dependent on this component of windows and text files are an important file src

    @Daniele-Medda, Welcome to the Community Forums,

    I wrote a post back in February, at https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17160/latest-version-browser-export/2, which explains how to edit the shortcuts.xml to add browsers in the Run menu (or re-enable browsers after EU-FOSSA changes hide them from the Run menu).

    depends on how you installed npp and which version you use.
    At the end you need to delete either a folder, within plugins directory,
    which is called DSpellCheck or if you use an older version the file DSpellCheck.dll.
    Under Config directory you may delete the Hunspell folder and the DSpellCheck.ini as well.
    If you uncertain where those folders are, post your debug-info from ? menu.

    I haven’t thought about the old post and that it might generate trouble, therefore, better
    just leave it as it is and don’t worry about it anymore.

    Thx for all insights and tips. :-)

    @wiesl

    Thnx. I’m not sure but it seems to me that also not all files are displayed in the search result. Also a known bug?

    not that i currently know of, at least nothing reported here or at the notepad++ issue tracker.

    Hi guy,

    Just a quick confirmation: I’ve re-produced the same results with TEST_2 text and previous ones. I simply introduced a line-break to the very last line after copying&pasting by hitting the enter. This last line-break fixed the problem. I’ll continue to apply the regexes to severeal other entries and I’ill report problems in case I encounter.

    Thank you so much for your time and effort! I do muchappreciate it!

    Ah, okay, so extended mode support both \0 and \o. Good to know.

  • RegEx bug with big files

    Hello, @niente0, @meta-cchuh, @alan-kilborn, @eko-palypse and All,

    I did some tests with a not so big file ( a bit more than 32,4 Mb ! ) just because this is the limit where the correct and the incorrect behaviour occurs :-((

    I used the single line, below, which ends with a space character and, then, the usual CR + LF chars. Its total size is, exactly, 100 bytes

    > 2. Switch from certificate verification to hashes verification due to "Notepad++" is rejected by CRLF

    After duplicating that line, a bit more than 340,130 times, I obtained a file, with the approximative size to test some regexes. Here are the results, obtained with N++ v7.6.4, on my old Win XP SP3 laptop :

    A) With a file WITHOUT any occurrence of the "@" character, NOR the string "abcdef" : ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ •-----------------------------•-----------------------------------------•---------------------------------------------------• | REGULAR expressions | Size MAXIMUM with a CORRECT Result | Size MINIMUM with an INCORRECT Result | •-----------------------------•--------------------•--------------------•--------------------•------------------------------• | [^@]abcdef | 33,333,333 Bytes | O occurrence | 33,333,334 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [^@\r\n]abcdef | 34,013,607 Bytes | 0 occurrence | 34,013,608 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | [^@\x00-\x1F]abcdef | 34,013,607 Bytes | 0 occurrence | 34,013,608 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | [\x20-?A-~]abcdef | 34,013,607 Bytes | 0 occurrence | 34,013,608 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | [\x20-?@A-~]abcdef | 34,013,607 Bytes | 0 occurrence | 34,013,608 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | [\x20-~]abcdef | 34,013,607 Bytes | 0 occurrence | 34,013,608 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | [\x{0020}-\x{FFFF}]abcdef | 34,013,607 Bytes | 0 occurrence | 34,013,608 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | •-----------------------------•--------------------•--------------------•--------------------•------------------------------• | @abdef | Tested, up to a 200 Mb file => 0 occurrence ( OK ) | •-----------------------------•-----------------------------------------•--------------------•------------------------------• B) With a file containing only ONE occurrence of "@abcdef", near the END : ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ •-----------------------------•-----------------------------------------•---------------------------------------------------• | REGULAR expressions | Size MAXIMUM with a CORRECT Result | Size MINIMUM with an INCORRECT Result | •-----------------------------•--------------------•--------------------•--------------------•------------------------------• | [^@]abcdef | 33,333,334 Bytes | O occurrence | 33,333,335 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [^@\r\n]abcdef | 34,013,608 Bytes | 0 occurrence | 34,013,609 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | [^@\x00-\x1F]abcdef | 34,013,608 Bytes | 0 occurrence | 34,013,609 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | [\x20-?A-~]abcdef | 34,013,608 Bytes | 0 occurrence | 34,013,609 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | •-----------------------------•--------------------•--------------------•--------------------•------------------------------• | [\x20-?@A-~]abcdef | 34,013,617 Bytes | 1 occ. = @abcdef | 34,013,618 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | [\x20-~]abcdef | 34,013,617 Bytes | 1 occ. = @abcdef | 34,013,618 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | | | | | | | | [\x{0020}-\x{FFFF}]abcdef | 34,013,617 Bytes | 1 occ. = @abcdef | 34,013,618 Bytes | 1 occ. = ALL File Contents | •-----------------------------•--------------------•--------------------•--------------------•------------------------------• | @abdef | Tested up to a 200 Mb File => 1 occurrence = @abcdef | •-----------------------------•-----------------------------------------•---------------------------------------------------•

    Remark : I suppose that the problem arise because when you search, for instance, for the regex @bcdef there is only ONE possibility but when you search for [^@]bcdef there quite a lot of possible matches !!

    I also tried to search for the regex abcdef and click on the button Find All in current Document. It did show the different lines containing the “abcdef” string ! Then, right-clicking inside the Find Result panel, I chose the option Found in these Found results....

    In this new dialog I type in the regex [^@]abcdef, and tick the option Search only in found lines. Unfortunately, it didn’t show these specific lines but the first one, only, when dealing with big files :-((

    Finally, the best, regarding your specific regex, would be ( just good sense ! ) :

    Firstly, replace @abcdef with, for instance, the string @abcdez, with the Replace All button, in Normal or Regular expression search mode

    Secondly, search for abcdef and click on the Find Next button OR the Find All in Current Document, in order to find out, implicitly, all the occurrences of the regex [^@]abcdef

    When your treatment of the [^@]abcdef occurrences is over, just do the reverse operation, searching for @abcdez and replacing with @abcdef

    Best Regards,

    guy038

    If it’s not clear from the issue 5085,

    I dunno, seems pretty clear to me. Should also be to someone into (a) text editing and (b) programming, both of which have been established are within the capabilities of the OP. :)

    just curious about which language you are talking. It might be that I have a
    different approach/solution in a few days using LSP instead.

    Looking at the Scintilla documentation, there’s SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT, which says “If the current selection is empty then select word around caret”. Unfortunately, that’s not in the Settings > Shortcut Mapper > Scintilla Commands list. Looking at the Scintilla History, that command was added in Scintilla 3.5.7, but Notepad++ uses Scintilla 3.5.6: if Don had done one more update, that command could have been in the Shortcut Mapper. Sigh.

    But @guy038’s macro-suggestion should be workable for you.
