You actually put two replies in one post in this other thread. I just quoted from that (with the link) here, so people in this topic could see it was resolved

@Mark-Olson Thank you Mark! I haven’t had to manually set these options since I first started using Notepad++ years ago.

@randomguyingithub You should try signing off/on first before wasting time with a reboot.

I’ve done a little experimenting. I tried moving the &, like this:

Edit with Notepad&++

But the underline didn’t move and + didn’t work as the shortcut.

I noticed, however, that e worked as the shortcut. Sometimes. See, a lot of menus already have an entry that says simply Edit. It has the E underlined. But that entry launches Notepad (yuck). But some menus don’t have an entry for Edit. On those menus, e does open the file in Notepad++ even though its E is not underlined. I did try doing this:

&Edit with Notepad++

But that did not cause the E to be underlined. It also did not stealth-add e as a second occurrence of the e shortcut on menus that also contained Edit. The underlines are regularly not unique on menus. You just have to type the shortcut again then hit Enter, instead of just typing the shortcut & that’s enough to activate that menu entry.

So I guess I have half a solution, a workaround that works sometimes. I suppose that’s better than nothing.

@PeterJones I did not notice the tabs

@PeterJones said in Remove Parameters from Functions List?:

<nameExpr expr="(?:\x26\s*)?[A-Za-z_

That worked, thank you very much. I’ve had some very minimal experience with these files in the past though a while ago and not enough to claim to be familiar.

Bug report opened HERE; you probably want to go back into it and supply the requested Debug Info. Issues get rejected when people don’t supply that.

Sure you can. Try this

@mkupper said in Hi, looking for a regex that calculates distance between 2 numbers, then adjust the 2nd number to a minimum of 30.:

Is it possible to run a PythonScript on all open tabs?

No. What you would do is, in a single run of a single script, iterate over the open file tabs:

for (filename, bufferID, index, view) in notepad.getFiles(): notepad.activateFile(filename) ....

After a file is “activated”, then the editor object can manipulate the data of the activated tab, e.g., perhaps do an editor.replace(), etc.

@Alan-Kilborn Odd. When I try to update it says there are no updates. I’ll have to redownload the package and install fresh. Thanks yall

Excellent.

Thank you, both! That’s very helpful.

Hello, @pbarney and All,

I’ll try to explain you why your initial regex ^.*?(SID=\d+)?.* cannot work !

To begin with, let’s consider the first part of your regex :

^.*?(SID=\d+)?

If you try this regex, against your text :

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, libero turpis non cras ligula, id commodo, aenean est in volutpat amet sodales, porttitor bibendum facilisi suspendisse, aliquam ipsum ante morbi sed ipsum SID=324221815251191 mollis. Sollicitudin viverra, vel varius eget sit mollis. Commodo enim aliquam suspendisse tortor cum diam, commodo facilisis, rutrum et duis nisl porttitor, vel eleifend odio ultricies ut, orci in SID=32422181753241& adipiscing felis velit nibh. Consectetuer porttitor feugiat vestibulum sit feugiat, voluptates dui eros libero. Etiam vestibulum at lectus. Donec vivamus. Vel donec et scelerisque vestibulum. Condimentum SID=324221819525920 aliquam, mollit magna velit nec, SID=324221821424161 tempor cursus vitae sit

You’ll note that it always matches a zero-length string but the 6-th line, beginning with the SID=.... string. Why ?

Well, as you decided to put a lazy quantifier ( *? ( or also {0,}? ), the regex engine begins to match the minimum string, i.e. the empty string, at beginning of line and, of course, cannot see the string SID=... at this beginning. But, it does not matter as the SID=... string is optional. So, the regex engine considers that this zero-length match is a correct match for the current line ! And so on till …

The 6th line, where the Sid=... string does begin the line. So, the regex engine considers this string as a correct match for this 6th line. And so on…

Now, when you add the final part .*, then, at each beginning of line, due to the lazy quantifier, your regex is equivalent to :

^.*?.* ( in other words equivalent to .* ), if the SID=... string is not at the beginning of current line. Thus, as the group1 is not taken in account, the regex engine simply replaces the current line, without its line-break, with nothing, as the group 1 is not defined, resulting in an empty line

(SID=\d+).* if the SID=... string begins the current line. In this case the group 1 is defined and the regex engine changes all contents of current line with the string SID=.....

Finally, note that your second regex ^.*?(SID=\d+).* matches ONLY the lines containing a SID=... string. Thus, it’s obvious that the other lines remain untouched !

Neverthless, it was easy to solve your problem. You ( and I ) could have thought of this regex S/R !

SEARCH (?-s)^.*(SID=\d+).*|.+\R

REPLACE \1

When a line contains the SID=.... string, it just rewrites that string ( group 1 )

When a line does not contain a SID=.... string, the second alternative of the regex, .+\R grabs all contents of current line WITH its line-break. But, as this second alternative does not refer at all about the group 1, nothing is rewritten during the replacement, and the lines are just deleted
