  Copying the userDefineLangs to %ProgramData% does not work. And installing the whole application to %ProgramData% is a really bad idea security wise and will be blocked by AppLocker anyway.

  Hello! I have some problem while update portable Npp Its my old version and list of installed plugins: After update Npp(just copy all but config.xml, contextMenu.xml, shortcuts.xml, from ZIP ) I have next “picture” And… then I try to install plugins with Plugins Admin, its give me this notification: close Npp, and… nothing. Npp not restart. And plugin NOT add`s to my Npp. Any help? Maybe should I update first with more old version? Thanks!

  Win10x64, NPP 7.6.4 32bit, restoring last session not work after reboot

  Had a similar issue with “session.xml” resetting. However, there are differences: This time, the Windows bootup sequence here had changed from the usual, it now requested my user password, as until then the policy was to go straight to desktop. Notepad is set to run at startup along with one or two "TSR"s, however they never launched this time. Of interest was Event 1073: The attempt by user “User” to restart/shutdown computer “Computer” failed And the usual Event 455 Edb.log thing. Now what really happened was N++ did not close at Windows shutdown as one of the files was unsaved. The shutdown was delayed for as much as two hours without my knowledge then. Amazingly, got the save dialog again on bootup, and promptly confirmed it. Notepad launched fine with all the files in the MRU preserved. No problem! What happened after that is unclear- after futzing about with other programs and windows, there popped up a new N++ package update MessageBox- don’t know how long it was sitting there, but before confirming I noticed all the MRU files in the (still running) N++ had gone. Not sure what happened there as there was zero interaction with Notepad until seeing the update prompt. Of course, updating N++ later never restored the list. Given all this, there may be a case for the N++ to do a filesize check on Session.xml before and after a package update- if indeed that was ever assumed to be the issue. Difficult one to trap, Thanks.

  Hello, @BDz48, @gurikbal-singh, and All, Don’t forget to select the Regular expression search mode for a correct result of the @gurikbal-singh’s regex Now, if you do not want a match when the number 6.. is surrounded with other numbers as, for instance, in text 497954316579791310932, use the regex \b(6\d\d|700)\b Best Regards, guy038

  @astrosofista Yes, that is exactly what I need. It seems that there are some symbols I cannot write . It replaces the color or does not display when accompanied by another symbol.

  Hi @mark-marques, @ekopalypse, @alan-kilborn and All, To control which plugin(s) is/are loaded on Notepad++ start : Close any opened N++ instance Reach your active plugins location For any plugin , NOT desired, simply change the name of its folder ( for instance, add a simple character at beginning or end of each name ! ) Restart Notepad++ For instance, my own 7.8.5 plugins folder contains the following subfolders : BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc DSpellCheck ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport NppPluginDemo If I want to open Notepad++, without, let’s say, the DSpellCheck and the Npp PluginDemo plugins, simply rename these 2 subfolders, like below : BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc -DSpellCheck ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport -NppPluginDemo OR BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc DSpellCheck_0 ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport NppPluginDemo_0 Best Regards, guy038

  @Darisky Sorry, but I don’t understand your last post. Did you try my suggestion about using hello.cpp instead of hello.

  @Michael-Vincent I have not found a way to receive the custom registered messages using the Windows API. I’ve also tried to see if this is cached in the registry in any way, but no luck so far.

  I had the same issue for PHP files. The solution was to include the opening tag <?. The file I was using was just a scratch bit of PHP thus no tag was included. The same is true for HTML files. The opening tag, <html would be required. Languages like Javascript, SQL, etc., that don’t require tags work as expected.

  Sorry people, here is the working link to the animated gif (couldn’t edit it in time): https://giphy.com/gifs/eKh1aKIxZOEUB2308F @astrosofista said in Removing Spaces after | sysmbol: Hi: OK, just for the non-regex oriented people in the list, let me suggest you an alternative approach to delete those unwanted blank spaces. This little thingy requires the BetterMultiSelection plugin to get the job done, as follows: In case you couldn’t read the instructions while the gif is playing: Insert a multi-selection ( Click, Shift + Alt + Down Arrow ) Press the End key Then, Control + Left Arrow Finally, press Back-Space.

  @guy038 Thank you for the further analysis. I’m really sorry, because it’s just my fault and you wouldn’t have had to look for an alternative solution No worries at all! :-) I don’t understand, Alan why you got a match (of only) “Alice”. I personally only get the forename “Bob” Indeed! I guess “something happened” because if I re-run it now the same way I for sure get “Bob” as well! Sorry for that confusion. Other comments: I did not realize (obviously) that it was merely a case of a problem with the ^ in the original expression. :-( I totally jumped in to an almost wholly different solution, based upon something related I was working on. The lesson of that story is… Nice to know!

  @Alan-Kilborn said in File Specific word wrap (vs. global enable): @astrosofista said in File Specific word wrap (vs. global enable): regex indicators What “regex indicators” are you referring to? Did I miss something? Sorry, my wording wasn’t clear enough. I was referring to the regex metacharacters that Scott Sumner used to enrich the info about the selected characters and lines. They are listed here: link text
