For example, i want to enter “hello world” in the beginning of every new file.

There was an old post here that might have some relevant information to help you.

@Alan-Kilborn ,
Actually, HBuilder, bills itself as an HTML Integrated Development Environment (IDE), whereas Notepad++ bills itself as a source code editor and Notepad.exe replacement, IE just a text editor.

That NPP can emulate an IDE to some extent with plugins and additional functions is the work of dedicated folks making it possible, and if the OP wishes to write an HTML IDE plugin for NPP, I’m sure it will be welcome. :)

@Terry-R Thank you very much for your comments! ‘Word Wrap’ seems work perfectly in this case!!

@Ku-Qiu

If you want to use the NppExec console, the short answer is “you don’t”.

If you are talking about some other “console”, you’d better explain more about what you mean.

@Ralph-Hulslander

Isn’t this more of a computer usage question than a Notepad++ specific one?

@jack-benimble ,

Because Notepad++ is a text editor, not a word processor, and font information isn’t embedded in text files. And as such, having a “change the font” would encourage people to try to use it to set the font of individual words, and mistakenly believe that they can somehow embed the font information in the text file.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Broken Dialog boxes:

e you noticed this same thing in 8.4.8

yes, I believe that was the version i was on before the downgrade, I have uninstalled and reinstalled 8.4.9 and it is working.

@thistlillo said:

High-DPI are an issue with Notepad++

Agree.

I thought it would not be that hard to add, but I am clearly wrong.

It would NOT be that hard to add, you just have to see if someone is interested in adding it, or contribute the change yourself and hope that the author is interested enough to accept the change.

Or, use one of the alternatives I mentioned earlier.

@Mohamed-Mohamed ,

The Find in Files feature that @Alan-Kilborn mentioned searches across multiple files. If your episodes are in separate files, then Find in Files is the way to search through all the episodes for the text. If you had tried it, it would have been pretty obvious whether or not it worked for you.

@Michael-Vincent Check my reply to your post, and follow the link, @PeterJones at that links said he’ll take a look at all your xsd and dtd files this weekend if you repond and attach your files. Be aware that you may need to change the file extension to txt and state so in the post since the drag and drop doesn’t recognize some file extensions.

Impressed that “5 years later” this thread and plugin again got attention. This plugin is exactly what I needed.

The alternative plugin mentioned by @DaveyD in 2017, called “File Switcher, by Dave Brotherstone” no longer appears in my Plugin Admin (maybe I’m doing something wrong) so I’m glad I have this.

[FYI: I found this plugin mentioned at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/14375/search-open-file-name after searching the internet for “notepad++ search open tabs” and “notepad++ search open filenames”.]

My problem is I have 31 tabs open and NavigateTo didnt see 2 of my tabs. Both are recently opened. But it does see fine another tab that was recently opened.

One of the missing files is from a flash drive, flash drive then removed, npp asks me if I want to keep it and I say yes. But the other is regular file resident on local drive. And other files from the flash drive show up. And another new file I just loaded while writing this is correctly present in the NavigateTo list.

I am using v.1.12.4.1 and my Notepad++ is at v8.3.3 which is not the latest.

Possibly this fix released in v.1.12.6 that I don’t have yet fixes it: https://github.com/young-developer/nppNavigateTo/issues/15; Or my issue could be different/similar/related.

I’ll update to the latest and try it again later when I have time.

@faouzi-sat ,

Here’s your freebie, since this was your first post. And I appreciate that you showed before-and-after data, even if you neglected the </> button to mark your text as plaintext. But as Terry was encouraging you, you will get better help (and learn more) if you put in more effort when asking for help.

So, in Regular Expression search mode,

: matches a literal colon \d+ matches one or more digits \. matches a literal dot/period/fullstop character putting () parentheses around an expression will save it in the next capture group number

And in the replacement, $1 references the first capture group number.

Putting that all together: put a colon and one or more digits in group#1 and the sequence of digits-dot-digits-dot-digits-dot-digits in group#2, and replace with group2-then-group1

FIND = (:\d+) (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+) REPLACE = $2$1

Working !

thanks

Hello, @david-cummings, @alan-kilborn and All,

Not difficult with regexes !

So, let’s start with this INPUT text :

406D69 NPT04S G-JMCH B734 West Atlantic UK -------- 25025 24450 1250 1250 30/01/2023 23:54:46 30/01/2023 23:59:31

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

SEARCH (?x-s) ^ (\S+) \x20 (\S+) \x20 (\S+) \x20 (\S+) \x20 (\S+) | \x20+ -------- .+

REPLACE (?1\1,\2,\3,\4,\5)

Untick all box options

Tick the Wrap around option

Select the Regular expression serach mode

Click on the Replace All button

=> You should get your expected OUTPUT text :

406D69,NPT04S,G-JMCH,B734,West Atlantic UK

If OK, I’ll explain you how it works, next time !

Note that I use the Free Spacing mode (?x), in the search regex, in order to separate the main parts for a better comprehension

@SouthPole-Cat ,

yes.

In Notepad++ natively, no. But using the plugin MarkdownViewer++, a converter-and-renderer is embedded into your Notepad++ environment for you.

Hello from the future of 2023!

Some ingenious and clever programmer created a cross platform clone of Notepad++ and is available on all major OSes including macOS.

*Though the application overall is stable and usable, it should not be considered safe for critically important work.

Enjoy!

@Paul-Wormer said in Is there a way to convert multiple text files to docx with notepad++ ?:

The other way is: zip xml’s.

Well, the other way might be to figure out what xmls to create, before zipping…
The presumption here is that user just has free-form .txt files, right?

@Alan-Kilborn Good one, thanks.

Hi, @peterjones, @steve-thorpe and All,

In your post to Steve, I suppose that you wanted to advice :

I suggest searching through your registry for notepad++.exe …

@Alan-Kilborn
Oh i did not catch that, glad there is actually a way to do it at all, even if a bit cumbersome. And yeah, an actual proper checkbox option within preferences would have been ideal, but i’ll take what i can get.
