Hello, Hi, @tư-mã-tần-quảng and All,

I forgot to explain my regex S/R :

SEARCH (?s-i)(\h+<name>.+?)(\h+<id>.+?\R)

REPLACE \2\1

So :

First, the part (?s-i) has already been explained by @alan-kilborn !

Then, the part \h+<name> searches for some horizontal blank characters, followed with the string <name>, with this exact case

Now, the part .+?, due to the s modifier, looks for the shortest non-null range of any char, even EOL ones, till … some blank chars, again, followed with the string <id>, with this exact case

The two parts above are stored as group 1 because of the surrounding parentheses. Note that it, necessarily, ends with EOL chars, as followed with the <id> line !

Then the part \h+<id> matches any horizontal blank chars, followed with the string <id>, with this exact case

Finally, the part .+?\R matches the shortest non-null range of any char till… the next EOL chars, so ending the <id> line

Again, the two parts above are stored as group 2 because of the surrounding parentheses.

Note that the \R syntax stands for any kind of line-break ( \r\n for Windows files, \n for Unix files and \r for Mac files )

In replacement, the \2\1 rewrites, in reverse order, the single-line group 2 ( line <id> ) and the multi-lines group 1

@khk-khk Thanx to all - I’ll try

@Alan-Kilborn said in How to opt out of OAuth App but continue to have access to the NPP forum?:

Just a bit more, here…

Thanks for the clarification: that was probably wise to add the extra information.

@guy038

in case of overlapping matches

Well, I meant non-overlapping matches of course. Often while marking data it is simpler to come up with 3 or 4 successive marking operations on different data in order to capture everything you want; coming up with one regex, while perhaps an interesting exercise, would likely be distracting from your at-hand task.

Suddenly the light bulb went off…
Click Plugins > Compare > Settings
and then experiment with the colors to find a background color you like for mismatched lines.

Fixed in the following commit:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/a09c0a17dbdb4bb9a414a4a6fedf761987a80032

Thank you for your help!

@PeterJones Thanks for the repro work! I had a strong suspicion that the location of <LanguageAutoComplete> is hardwired (why would it not have been included in <UserLocations> if there wasn’t some reason - presumably technical - for it?)

Frankly, I consider it a Security issue to have user configurable files in %ProgramFiles(x86)% (I’m not alone in this regard!). Now on my machine Controlled Folder Access is enabled and I’m not sure how that interacts with UAC folder virtualisation (VirtualStore) for x86 apps and I’m not about to find out by experimentation. I’ll give it a few days then log a (security) bug.

@PeterJones It is not always convenient like this. Perhaps today I am lucky, to meet you. I am using google to translate. And my question was brief, so Google did a good job. Once again very thank you for this

@guy038 tanxs you so much for your explanation and for modification to your reg-ex!
now it works very well!
I never said I had an example like yours, but maybe it’s my fault that I didn’t explain myself well …
everything is working fine now. always thanks for your regex!
cheers

Alright, thanks for your help everyone! Deleting the langs.xml file fixed it.

Thanks a lot @Ekopalypse. It works perfect (as expected!!)

Hello, @BDz48, @gurikbal-singh, and All,

Don’t forget to select the Regular expression search mode for a correct result of the @gurikbal-singh’s regex

Now, if you do not want a match when the number 6.. is surrounded with other numbers as, for instance, in text 497954316579791310932, use the regex \b(6\d\d|700)\b

@astrosofista Yes, that is exactly what I need. It seems that there are some symbols I cannot write . It replaces the color or does not display when accompanied by another symbol.

Hi @mark-marques, @ekopalypse, @alan-kilborn and All,

To control which plugin(s) is/are loaded on Notepad++ start :

Close any opened N++ instance

Reach your active plugins location

For any plugin , NOT desired, simply change the name of its folder ( for instance, add a simple character at beginning or end of each name ! )

Restart Notepad++

For instance, my own 7.8.5 plugins folder contains the following subfolders :

BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc DSpellCheck ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport NppPluginDemo

If I want to open Notepad++, without, let’s say, the DSpellCheck and the Npp PluginDemo plugins, simply rename these 2 subfolders, like below :

BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc -DSpellCheck ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport -NppPluginDemo

OR

BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc DSpellCheck_0 ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport NppPluginDemo_0

Best Regards,

guy038

@Darisky

Sorry, but I don’t understand your last post.
Did you try my suggestion about using hello.cpp instead of hello.

I had the same issue for PHP files.

The solution was to include the opening tag <?.

The file I was using was just a scratch bit of PHP thus no tag was included. The same is true for HTML files. The opening tag, <html would be required.

Languages like Javascript, SQL, etc., that don’t require tags work as expected.

Sorry people, here is the working link to the animated gif (couldn’t edit it in time):

@astrosofista said in Removing Spaces after | sysmbol:

Hi:

OK, just for the non-regex oriented people in the list, let me suggest you an alternative approach to delete those unwanted blank spaces.

This little thingy requires the BetterMultiSelection plugin to get the job done, as follows:

In case you couldn’t read the instructions while the gif is playing:

Insert a multi-selection ( Click, Shift + Alt + Down Arrow ) Press the End key Then, Control + Left Arrow Finally, press Back-Space.

@Stan-Dm said in feature request - word wrap per tab:

+1 for this feature request, I have to flip my word wrap settings back and forth all the time, it’s getting annoying!

Might be a good idea. But +1-ing it here won’t affect the status of the feature request at https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/5232 .

if it’s annoying for you, both this forum and the issues page show a PythonScript workaround that you can use while you are waiting to see if the feature is ever accepted or implemented. But given there’s a simple PythonScript workaround, there’s a good chance it never will be. (The developer philosophy for this project is that if it can easily be or has been implemented using a plugin, it’s not likely to be implemented as a native feature.)

@John-BPC

The Escape key, maybe?
