@ekopalypse Great. Thanks a lot.

@jim-julian

Not with the standard functions of Npp, but with a scripting plugin and the interception of the FILEOPENED event this is possible. If you want to take this step let us know.

@rene-zinsheimer
If you are doing log analyses I have a free tool that you might find very useful. It is called RCFV, the Really Cool Filter Viewer, and you can download it at www.takamomto.com. (As of 6/3 the website is a little screwy due to outside factors but you can still get the latest release of the software there.)

Since he didn’t mention the version number, I thought I’d chime in and say that the code fix that Don linked to was included in v8.4.2, so it is now readily available for download.

guy, thank you so much for your string. it work like a charm

all the best

Interesting.

…because it looks like the duplication bug is related to the “ä” combination of symbols.

For me, it appears like this, so I don’t see those “symbols”:

f376ba2a-fec2-4b85-ab2d-c1996c68acd6-image.png

…and I don’t show it, but trust me, my status bar says the encoding is UTF-8, just like yours does. If I edit and save this file, this character doesn’t “grow” like it does for you.

So I’d say it is some sort of odd encoding issue (for you), but we’ve got UTF-8 in line 1 of the file, and also in the status bar, so
I’m mystified.

I will say it made me think of some other encoding issue I read about recently HERE. But I think that is just a curiosity, not related.

@ekopalypse well thanks for taking time to anwser, and yes i wanted to make of npp a replacement for ms word, cause it is faster to exacute and its more customisable for a minimalist look.

The Community Forum’s feature request FAQ explains how to put in an official feature request that will be seen by the developers.

@alan-kilborn brilliant - it works! :) thank you

@test-account ,

You are the only one who can know if any given color scheme will work for your eyes – you have chosen Dark Mode, so I can already guarantee that the preferences that work best with my middle-aged eyes would not work for you.

There are about a dozen themes that ship with Notepad++: try them from the Style Configurator to see which comes closest to working for you, then use the Python settings in the Style Configurator to further customize it to your liking.

@Greg-Vaeth ,

Compare plugin will not be supported anymore (at least by me) because I consider it obsolete and because (as Peter Jones said) I am working on another plugin - ComparePlus that is Compare plugin’s successor.

ComparePlus will have default color settings for Notepad++ DarkMode. I hope to release the first version soon.

@PeterJones ,
Peter, thanks for all the support, much appreciated!

@tss-tss said in Searching all lines between tags:

I would like to copy all the lines between <a href… </a> from a old html file, is there a smarter way using the search tool?

When you say copy between I would presume the line would also contain the <a href… and </a> code as well. that is unless the lines are formatted in such a way as to have this code on lines by themselves and the lines you want are indeed ‘between’.

So using the Mark function (Search, Mark, Ctrl+M default shortcut) you would add the following to the find field:
Find What:(?s)<a href>.+?</a>
Tick the box “bookmark line”, search mode is regular expression. Click on “Mark All”. You will now see lines that you want to copy are preceded by a blue circle/sphere. These are the bookmarks. Then Right click on this area and select “Copy Bookmarked Lines”. Create a new tab and insert those lines using Ctrl-V (paste).

If you need a definition of the regular expression please just ask.

@william-pigott-0 ,

Each programming language has its own function list definition – and they are customizable. So no one here can tell you how to fix it unless you give us some information, like which language you were using, and what version of Notepad++ you used to use: with that, we could at least look through the revision history for that language’s definition. (The official default language definitions rarely change, so I am betting that you actually had a customized function list definition, maybe that you got from someone else, which you didn’t replicate when you moved to the a new machine, or that you deleted all your old customized configs when you installed v8.4.1, and thus lost the customization. Because upgrades don’t generally overwrite edited config files, so if you had done a normal upgrade, it should have kept your older functionList definitions.)

From this issue @Ekopalypse links to, it appears there will soon be a fix for this, probably in the release after 8.4.1.

@francisco said in Data search, in text with columns:

Terry, my post has been “edited” by the system,

I thought as much. The system will adjust posts according to it’s “formatting rules”. To prevent these issues please read the post pinned at the start of this section of the forum titled “Please Read This Before Posting”. It outlines what is needed when posting examples. So if you happen to post again it is VERY important you follow those examples, otherwise you may find (again) the solution doesn’t fit your needs.

It’s good to know that in this instance you were easily able to adjust to fit your requirements.

@remduv said in Doc Switcher panel has changed its appearance (not a pleasant update):

Would it be possible to make the back color of the selected file in the doc Switcher “a little lighter” when using dark mode instead of “a little darker” when using normal mode.

As Notepad++ is currently implemented, no. There is no way of specifying that.

If you made a feature request, and if that feature request were implemented, then it would be possible.

@joe-hicks ,

That’s what Windows’ Open With entry in the Explorer-RightClick menu is for: right click on the file name, Open With, then pick the alternate application that you’d like to use that time.

Alternately, if you “accidentally” open a file with Notepad++ and want to open it in notepad.exe instead, you can use Notepad++'s *Run > Run… dialog, enter notepad.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" (yes, with the quote marks and the parentheses inside the quote marks) – you can even Save that action with a keystroke if you want – and when you run that command, it will open the current file from Notepad++ into notepad.exe

@terry-r ,
For a lot of the language, that would be fine, with the exception of the Clipper specific language extentions, which if they use the basic dBASE or in NPP’s case, the xbase language UDL located on github here: https://github.com/MAPJe71/Languages/tree/master/xBase/Config and then modify it as you need.

The dBASE UDL I’ve done recently, is primarily only usable by the Object-Oriented Programming version of dBASE begun with the dBASE 5.0 for Windows and above, mostly for dBASE Plus, since a lot changed between that original version and the smoothed out version of dBASE Plus.
