@Radomir-Stojanović said in Need help for CNC code.: I have a recurring issue with the beginning and end of my code. I always have to replace the generic text with ‘%’ and manually add an ‘E’ at the end of the program whenever I rewrite it. Is there a way to automate this process? Whenever I get a new program, I have to correct F400. F200. (or any Fxxx. not to have a period at the end of Fxxx). Can I automate that as well? This can easily be done with 3 regular expressions (regex), however the 3rd one won’t be completely sorted, I will speak to that later. So using the Replace function we have the first one which deals with the “generic text issue”. Search mode must be regular expression for all 3 regex I’m showing. Find What:(?-s)\A(\([^)]+\)(\R))+ Replace With:N0 %${2} Click on Replace All Now we deal with all the Fxxx. sequences. Find What:(F\d+)\. Replace With:${1} Again click on Replace All Finally the end line for the code. The primary problem here is that regex cannot count. So there isn’t an easy way for the regex to add 1 to the last line and write a new line with the incremented number and and E. So what my regex does is to write it with xx as the line number. So you would still need to change the xx for the real line number. Although I have provided this regex, I think it would be of limited value as you would still need to edit that last line. Find What:(?-s)(\R).+\K\z Replace With:${1}Nxx E These 2 (or 3) regex can be combined into a macro which is essentially the keystrokes recorded as you type them and once saved (with a name) can be re-run whenever you wish.

@Barry-Seymour said in Feature Request: Toggle Search Results Pane: If the search results pane has focus Press ESC = hide the panel Not a “toggle”, but a single simple keypress. Cheers.

Thank you for those tips. They are very useful.

@PeterJones Thank you very much for the quick response and for the instructions on how to get the multi-edit carets color! Indeed I have a custom theme, and I did not realize it would not be updated automatically, or even that it was the theme that created the options in the style configurator. I added the line you suggested, as well as some others I noticed I was missing and it’s working GREAT now!

Notepad++ 8.6.6 will allow F3 and Shift+F3 to work while the Find or Replace windows have input focus. See point #6 here: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/25742/notepad-v8-6-6-release-candidate

@mkupper sorry, I’m an idiot. Of course I do use an 64bit-version. as I was beginning this discussion on march 23th 2024, I have used a very wrong “title” or “RE”: “Big files cannot opened in v8.6.4 (x84)”. This is wrong! every time I have installed and I’m using this “npp.8...Installer.x64.exe”. really. Does there exist an admin, who can change the titel? It would be lovely. thanks a lot. Yours Klaus

@Daniel-Essin , Since you came back and created a new Topic (which I locked) about the same thing, you apparently forgot about this one. Please don’t create duplicate Topics. As Alan said, “it works for me”. However, looking at your list of plugins, there are a few there that I’ve never heard of… and when there is strange behavior in Notepad++, especially for something as core as double-clicking a word, the first place to look is in trying to disable plugins. This FAQ gives the procedure for how to check by turning off all plugins and one-at-a-time. (Yes, I know, you aren’t crashing; but the FAQ even admits that it’s useful for other situations where the plugin might be to blame.)

Thank you very much, it helped a lot!

OK, very sorry for the wrong code, just habit. Many thanks for correcting! That is how it works, as long as you have clicked on the Document List panel. OK, yes, just clicking an item in the list and pressing any key does not work (that’s what I tried). But if you click on the Document List title, it will change to a highlighted title bar, like: Maybe such a mouse over hover field, don’t know the name, saying this would be good. Is there a shortcut which could do what that mouse click does? Many thanks, also for updating the help.

I’ve tried to differents options (global styles, directwrite, update plugins,…) but it does not work. Finally I have had a clean install and work it! I don’t know why, because other than plugins, I don’t remember touching any option Thank you all

I just uninstalled and started over, and all seems OK now…

@Steve-Carlsson I could recommend how to do this with plugins, but I won’t, because this is fundamentally not a task for Notepad++. I would recommend learning PowerShell or Python, to name just two of the many tools that can accomplish this for you. Of course, if you only need to rename 10-20 files once, you could probably do this by hand in less time than it would take you to write a script. If you choose to go that route, StackOverflow and Google would be your best friends, not this forum, because this forum is really only for discussing how to do things with Notepad++.

@PeterJones Thanks for the reply. All things to consider.

@Lin-Pepsi Maybe try this setup: [image: 1714217506161-ec91d739-9d0c-4a47-8fbf-d996cd2ee823-image.png]

@Alus said in column editor with negative numbers: when he reverses the numbers, he also reverses the unselected text. I had to build the numbers in an empty area You did not have to do this if you would have done Peter’s step 2.
