Hi. This is possible. You must use either the programming language AutoIT or AutoHotkey to do this.

Check out this link where someone made a cyrillic-latin transliterator.

https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/55957-cyrillic-to-latin-and-vice-versa-transliterator/

also, check out my earlier post
https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/150021-how-do-i-automatically-change-letters-to-other-letters-in-a-text-editor/

You may be able to adapt something from there.

cancel this request for help. figured it out.

You may have show some examples like “I have this…”, “I want it to look like this…”. I think more people would understand what you’re looking for.

If you’re working with just a list of values, you can install the CsvQuery plugin and run a SQL type query on your list. Say you have this as your list:

filter1
filter1
filter1
filter2
filter2
filter2
Filter1
filter2
Filter3

Open the CsvQuery window, (you may have to hit the “read file” button), type this into the command bar:

SELECT col1, COUNT(*) FROM THIS GROUP BY COL1 ORDER BY COL1

Click Execute
the output window will show this:
Filter1 1
Filter3 1
filter1 3
filter2 4

If you want case insensitive searches:

SELECT col1, COUNT(*) FROM THIS GROUP BY COL1 COLLATE NOCASE ORDER BY col1 COLLATE NOCASE

That will get you this:
Filter1 4
filter2 4
Filter3 1

I had to use ctrl-c to copy the output. Right click - copy didn’t work for me. Note that in a CsvQuery query “this” is the table name (your list in the active window).
Reading a file with 100k lines and executing the search each took about a second on my test case (the sample above repeated a lot). IDK if you can make a macro out of this, but it’s another option besides regex and python.

May the Sort be with you.

I think what you’re looking for is in Preferences->Auto-Completion in the box titled Auto-Completion. On the right side of the box there’s a line that says “From X th character. Valid value: 1-9”

The “x” is a clickable number. If you click on the number you can change it to 9, but that’s as high as it can be set. There are other options in this window that may ease some of your auto-complete pain.

Sorry, I can’t help you with the function completion or tooltip color issues.

Binary file was bad example (how file looks when bug occurs), but sometimes it happens to my txt files, even on selecting part of text with mouse. I’ll try with turned off “Enable session snapshot”, except bug is unpredictable, sometime after updates or changing settings to ANSI as default encoding I thought it fixed. And then it happens again when I made lot of changes and forgot to save before error.

@mpotra

Not a bad suggestion I suppose…you may want to follow the advice here.

You can have this functionality TODAY if you are willing to “script it”. The scripting plugins for Notepad++ are excellent. I tend to use Pythonscript; here’s some code for that which will implement a confirmation for Save All.

Here’s SaveAllWithAreYouSurePrompt.py :

def SAWAYSP__main(): if notepad.messageBox( 'Do you want to do a SAVE on all unsaved files?', # box body text 'Are you sure??', # box titlebar text MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.YESNO ) != MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.RESULTYES: return notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FILE_SAVEALL) SAWAYSP__main()

You can remap the default Save All keyboard shortcut to run the script instead.

Hello, @ואב פתאל, @terry-r and All,

As @terry-r said, regular expressions are not the best way when calculus is involved in the process. However, if the particular case, of all decimal numbers, beginning with the $ sign and ending with the string .99, is your case, a possible regex could be :

SEARCH (\$.*?)((0)|(1)|(2)|(3)|(4)|(5)|(6)|(7)|(8))?(?=9*\.99)|(9)

REPLACE (?{12}0:\1(?2:1)(?{3}1)(?{4}2)(?{5}3)(?{6}4)(?{7}5)(?{8}6)(?{9}7)(?{10}8)(?{11}9))

Of course, the Regular expression search mode must be selected and, possibly, the Wrap around option

So, assuming the sample text, below :

Item $0.99 Item $1.99 Item $2.99 Item $3.99 Item $4.99 Item $5.99 Item $6.99 Item $7.99 Item $8.99 Item $9.99 Item $10.99 Item $11.99 Item $12.99 Item $13.99 Item $14.99 Item $15.99 Item $16.99 Item $17.99 Item $18.99 Item $19.99 Item $20.99 ... Item $39.99 ... Item $98.99 Item $99.99 ... Item $9999.99

it would give, after global replacement :

Item $1.00 Item $2.00 Item $3.00 Item $4.00 Item $5.00 Item $6.00 Item $7.00 Item $8.00 Item $9.00 Item $10.00 Item $11.00 Item $12.00 Item $13.00 Item $14.00 Item $15.00 Item $16.00 Item $17.00 Item $18.00 Item $19.00 Item $20.00 Item $21.00 ... Item $40.00 ... Item $99.00 Item $100.00 ... Item $10000.00

Voilà !

I assume you get a better chance having this done by following this FAQ.

I’m with @dail, I can’t make much of it either…I guess the language barrier is too wide.

The reload is automatic in v7.5.6 or newer.

Hi, @klauss-lehmann and All,

Additional information to the excellent method of @meta-chuh :

Firstly, contrary to any other character, you cannot insert NUL characters, either, with any of these 3 ways :

Alt + nnn , where n are digits, pressed on the numeric keypad ( OEM encoding )

Alt + 0nnn , where 0 and n are digits, pressed on the numeric keypad ( ANSI encoding )

Alt + the + ( on Numeric keypad ) + hhhh, where h are hexadecimal chars ( UNICODE encoding ) :

The letters, from a to f, typed on the main keyboard

The digits, from 0 to 9, typed on the numeric keypad

So, the only way is to use the Character Panel ( Edit > Character Panel ) and, then, to double-click on the first line 0 00 NULL in order to insert a single NUL character, at cursor location

Secondly, the present regex engine of N++, can handle the NUL characters in search, without any trouble, using the regexes :

\0 or \x00 or \x{00} or \x{0000} or \N{NUL} or \c@ or \c

Unfortunately, in replacement, there’s, indeed, no mean to insert a NUL character :-(( A work-around is possible, using a local installation of N++ v6.9.0 and a modified version of the Scintilla library ( SciLexer.dll ). Refer to LAST part of this FAQ post :

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/15765/faq-desk-where-to-find-regex-documentation/1
