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 :

@Safe-Tex

you can find the 64 bit installer here:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.5.7.html

direct download:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.5.7/npp.7.5.7.Installer.x64.exe

Thank you. Thank you! Yep that did the trick. It was a simple fix that I actually found 1/2 way into my research on this subject but overlooked it because I didn’t understand why the user posted that LexerType had to be duplicated. Now I know and it works. Now I need to figure why NppExec is not saving my scripts when I upgraded to 7.4.2:)

Hmm, I reinstalled and used the “Xml Tools 2.4.9.2 x64 Unicode.zip” and am still getting the 32 bit warning. I already reinstalled, but perhaps I need to verify I did everything correctly. Will report back.

@PeterJones

Haha…I’m glad that “baking cookies” is a favorite of yours, or is at least somewhat memorable…I’ll make it a FAQ Desk entry for future use!

:-D

I thought that’s social-media-like “lol”-button?

@Amjad-Moghul

You can do it with LuaScript, for example, this does it for csv files.

You can download Compare Plugin v2 x64 by Pavel Nedev here.
Please read the installation guide.

Good luck.
