@John-Sampson said in regex and newlines: However, Notepad++ included newlines so that it changed each line to “ren \1” on one line, “\1” on a new line So if you were using \1 that assumes you were searching in regular expression mode. Then I’m going to assume your find what field also captured the CR and LF characters which are EOL markers. Returning those would likely produce the result you saw. I think you need to post the Find What field you used so we can confirm what you were doing. Oh, just saw that @peterjones also believes the same. Terry

@Flavio-Spezi Notepad++ has such exclusion syntax; see the user manual HERE. Post further questions here if you have them.

Limit exhausted, why section “delimiter” not naming limiters? And not easier was would done it limiters how regulars expressions? And, perhaps, overssuum up, -, :).

@PeterJones I don’t, normally, do this myself as well but I think I found a way to reproduce it more or less easily. Preparation: open function list and folder as workspace(faw) dialogs ctrl+f click find tab press find all in all opened documents button Now click on a dialog title bar and throw, that is move the mouse quickly and release the mouse button, the dialog to another dialog as seen in the animation. In the gif you can see that I tried to throw the faw dialog onto the search results dialog, which failed, instead it opened as a floating dialog box. I double clicked on the header so that the dialog is put back in its original position. EDIT: used a new portable 8.4.6 version, no additional plugins. [image: cmyoMyB.gif]

@swegmike , Honestly, I wasn’t convinced when you originally wrote this that it was an on-topic question for this forum, and thought it might even be a spam link, given how tenuous a connection there seemed between Function List definitions and “XML schema regexp builder”… but it didn’t pass my threshold of “spamminess”, so I didn’t report it. Now that you’ve linked from another discussion, and shown that you’re genuinely interested, I’ll reply … but to be clear, I still haven’t read whatever may be at the other end of the link. But based on the way you’ve phrased things, I personally don’t see how such a tool would help. I don’t know how an “XML Editor”, even one that gives you regex to parse XML (which is what I assume that does), would help. The Function List syntax just uses XML to wrap meta-information around the regexes. But unless you are writing a Function List for an XML-based language (ie, a language that uses XML tags to do its coding), I don’t see any connection to the task of creating your function list definition. But if it helps you, great. You don’t need our approval to use something external that helps you develop a regex, whether it’s for the developing regex for the Function List feature, or for your own search-and-replace needs, or for anything else. I’ve personally successfully created and/or modified multiple Function List definitions. We have a Function List Basics FAQ here, written by someone who I consider THE NPP Function List expert. And I’ve done my best to make the User Manual Function List overview and Function List config file syntax as useful as possible.

@donho Thanks for the link

@Mike-Collins It isn’t “spelling”, it is “auto completion”. To elaborate on Peter’s answer, you can control it by going here: [image: 1666695991189-22659ded-9257-4b09-8411-2bdb4eba406c-image.png] Follow the yellow markings and untick Enable to totally turn it off per your request. But, if you just want Enter to make it work, make sure ENTER (with the green marking in my screenshot) is ticked.

@Murray-Sobol-1 I am getting the cloudflare error for https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ as well. I have pinged @donho. – oh, I see that it seems to have been fixed in the last 5 minutes between when i started my reply and now. @swegmike , since I want to post a bug report and can’t. Bug reports go on the github issue tracker (https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues), so the state of https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ does not affect your ability to report an issue. Moreover, when I respond to my own post on the forum and then try to edit the last post that was only done a few minutes before, a popup states I can’t thinking that 4 hours has past. Weird. The forum is hosted externally to the main Notepad++ website, despite being a subdomain, so shouldn’t be affected by problems with the main website. That sounds more like a clock mismatch somewhere.

@PeterJones Many thanks!

Hi @guy038 , I have reproduced all your tests successfullly. Thank you very much! As Peter pointed out, all these different descriptions and own experiences may help to understand the issue better.

@PeterJones Sorry I didn’t respond earlier. My mother has been in the hospital for several weeks and I had to tend to her. Even though the adjustment hasn’t met the compromise I laid out, I’m glad that at least something was done about the length of time to edit a post.

@Bill-Artemik default font is WAY too small for my aging eyes Adjust this for a permanent change: [image: 1666365110636-a237b515-dd27-49f7-b995-1ea07fedfea5-image.png] Also, as a temporary measure, you can do: [image: 1666365168413-a16bef93-b35b-4265-ab91-eff047179bea-image.png] this should be an easy task Well, sometimes with “powerful” programs, the flexibility built into them makes “easy” things a bit more involved. :-) User manual REFERENCE.

@Kapil-Patel said in Option to Move all documents to another view & Compare Plugin issue: It would be better if option to move all documents to another view is provided. Currently we have to move the documents one by one to another view. An ISSUE was opened about this.

@PeterJones Thank you!! Much appreciated!!!

@FDWojo , No, there isn’t. In general, it is expected that you will only have one installed copy of Notepad++. Any other copy is expected to be a portable copy, so that they will not interfere with each other. The point of installation is to tell the OS that “this is the one true location for the application”, and to use that one-true-copy when you do an “open with Notepad++” or equivalent. If you have two true locations, then you are confusing the OS. Even with portable (unzipped) versions of Notepad++, if you want them to share the same %AppData%\Notepad++ configuration folder with the installed copy (so that your settings are the same in the 32bit and 64bit, in your case), then just delete doLocalConf.xml from the portable folder.

@dinkumoil Thank your for the quick reply. I do recall seeing those vertical lines before, but I had thought that they were simply shown/not shown based on whether or not SHOW ALL CHARACTERS was turned on. And, since I’m not a programmer, they are unnecessary for me. Thanks again!
