I’ve created the corresponding issue on GitHub:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/8034
It contains two test files attached, as well as two words to be searched for to reproduce the issue in the whole scope.

@PeterJones, @Alan-Kilborn

It works. Thanks a lot.

@Mark-Hanshaw said in Opening a file in short form?:

Hopefully I’m including enough information to explain my lostness

Unfortunately, not even close. Sorry.

Not everyone here knows what CSR2 is – based on your mention of “car files”, I am assuming the top google hit of a racing game is probably it. Given that the game itself isn’t necessarily common knowledge here, us knowing what might be different between the “version 1” and “version 2” car files is rather unlikely, and it’s really hard to give you help with so little information.

The instructions you were given (“look for \s and replace all”) aren’t even complete. I am assuming they wanted you to replace all space character – in which case, you need to make sure you have the regular expression mode selected the Replace dialog – because \s can be the special regex sequence to match any whitespace (space, tab, newline, and some others). Also, you don’t tell us what they asked you to replace the \s with.

@Sarah-Duong

You probably also want to remove the space before the vertical bar as well?

Try this:

Find what box: (?-s) \|.+
Replace with box: Make sure this box is EMPTY !
Wrap around checkbox: ticked
Search mode radiobutton: Regular expression
Press the Replace All button

That is, BTW, one of the reasons I decided to take an active role in the documentation development: whenever I find there’s something that I cannot remember how to do, I check to see if it’s in the docs; if it’s not there, I like being able to add it in so that 6 months down the road, when I’ve forgotten it again, I can look it up. :-)

:-D

@jack4455667788 said in Notepad++ 7.5.4 (64-bit) slow working with large files (solved):

this may have been fixed in later releases

How does one “fix” this? Autocomplete is a feature, if it is turned on it will attempt to do its work as best it can. In some scenarios, it isn’t going to be optimal.

Interesting. There might be enough people who would want that function for it to be worth implementing – though I cannot remember ever thinking to myself that I missed that ability, so it might not become a high priority for the developers. But the idea is reasonable enough that it’s probably worth reading the FAQ that will direct you to the right location for feature requests and bug fixes.

Sounds like a scary scenario to me.

Thank you very much !

@Ekopalypse Thank you very much : I have saved my “DeepBlack.xml” file .
I asked this question because the last time I upgraded from 7.8.1 to 7.8.2, all my color configuration had been lost !

So I prefer to be cautious for the future upgrades…

Thank you very much !

I created the issue 7988

Isn’t the Arduino language just c/c++? I would recommend just using that language, and adding any new keywords to the “User-defined keyword” box in the INSTRUCTION WORD or TYPE WORD styles (Settings > Style Configurator > Language: C or C++)

If you are curious about User Defined Language (UDL) syntax for numbers, see the docs.

But I’m curious: in what situation would the ; be used a suffix indicating a hexadecimal number?

A linguagem do Arduino não é apenas c / c ++? Eu recomendaria apenas usar esse idioma e adicionar novas palavras-chave à caixa “Palavra-chave definida pelo usuário” nos estilos PALAVRA DE INSTRUÇÃO ou PALAVRA DE TIPO (Configurações> Configurador de estilos> Idioma: C ouC ++)

Se você tiver curiosidade sobre a sintaxe da Linguagem Definida pelo Usuário (UDL) para números, consulte os documentos

Mas estou curioso: em que situação o ; seria usado como um sufixo indicando um número hexadecimal?

See @Alan-Kilborn 's answer in your other identical question

If you want help, you will have to provide enough information for us to replicate your problem. As of yet, we cannot replicate your problem, so it’s hard for us to say what’s going wrong for you. I provided a link that described what kind of information might be helpful.

An anecdotal “latest versions”, for example, is useless, because we don’t know what you consider “latest” (it could be the latest one you downloaded a decade ago, or the latest one that autoupdate asked you to install, or the latest one that was released on the official website, or the latest one in whatever unofficial distribution channel you download from).

If you want to prove that it’s not plugins, you will have to show the Debug Info (described in that link) of your version in the same instance that you’re about to crash in.

I will show you an example of it working for me, with enough information that you should be able to replicate my results.

Hi, @@luuk-v, @terry-r and All,

@Terry-r said :

Personally though my alternate regex works I would use @guy038 one as it is more readable and possibly also more defined!

In the same way, I would say that @terry-r’s solution is clever too and is, finally, very easy to interpret ;-))

Indeed, this new syntax :[^:]*?$ finds a colon char, followed with the shortest range of characters, possibly null, different from a colon, before an end of line !

Cheers,

guy038

Thanks for the info folks. Turns out updating to the latest version DSpell solved the problem.

Thanks you two,

It has been so long since I had to config a new install, I forgot where it was.

I’m way over 65. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!

@PeterJones said in Format different in regular notepad after installin notepad++ HELP!:

ttings in such a way that the source name is copying. I cannot explore different Excel settings for you, but can confirm that with the way mine is set up, copying from one workbook to another doesn’t make it link the data: the formula stays local to the workbook.
These are Excel problems, not something specific to Notepad++, so from here on out, you should probably move to an Excel forum. You should probably ask one or two questions – which are separate ideas, though the second isn’t as important now that you know that Excel should be able to handle the copy/paste with formulas correctly.

The first question would be worded something like “when I copy formulas from one workbook to another, for me it inserts the source workbook name into the destination formula, so it creates a link between the workbooks, but I am wanting to copy the formulas to the new workbook so that the formulas are relative to the new workbook. (And when I asked a similar question in a wrong forum, I was told that in circumstances of someone over there, Excel didn’t make the formulas a link, and did what I expected. Could you help me figure out how to make the pasted formulas reference the cells in the new workbook, rather than be formulas with links to the old workbook for the data?” You could include screenshots similar to above, but showing how the formulas don’t work right.

If you really needed to know why the thru-text-editor didn’t work, you could also ask, “Second, why when I Formulas > Show Formulas, and copy/paste the formulas into a text editor like notepad.exe or Notepad++, and then copy/paste from the text editor into a new Excel workbook, why does a multi-line formula first get interpreted as text, until I F2-edit then hit enter, when Excel properly treats it as a formula again?”

But again, this is all stuff for the Excel forum of your choice.

I completly understand not going far into excel, this is a notepad++ forum after all. thanks for thaking the time to look into this! I will look further in the excel forums. ill be back if anything points back to N++ but youre probably right and its to do with excel. Thansk again Peter!
