    Here’s an update to my previous post to more directly answer the OP’s question. 7.3 was released on 1 Jan 2017. Unfortunately, it seems that forum @administrators do not usually announce when a release is shifted from pre-prelease mode to production so that the built-in check-for-updates thing updates can pick it up. I suspect 7.3 was never released to production though it’s possible it was released and then withdrawn when the incorrect MD5 issue became known. The MD5 issue was fixed in 7.3.1 on 17 Jan 2017.

    @Claudia-Frank

    I didn’t mean the code could handle any programming language. I meant that the Pythonscript coder could account for it (any programming languages they are interested in) at coding time. :)

    And of course I meant any “realistic” programming language with a decent syntax, not necessarily the languages with hellish syntaxes. Thus, not ANY programming language; I should have been clearer.

    I’ve done this sort of thing before in MultiEdit’s macro language (CMAC) for the C family of languages, and Perl/Python. That’s what I’m basing my “wouldn’t be too hard” comment on.

    The updates works only with “Reload from disk” menu.
    It seems that is a common problem for all files.
    I tried with 3 files updated by external application (log files)

    If you are on Windows you might right-klick it and choose “Restore previous versions”.
    (same as r-klick, “Properties”, tab “Previous Versions”).
    According to Windows Help, there’s one backup per restore point (haven’t checked if settings influence this).

    @Eddy-Q227

    It can be enabled currently without an need for a code change to Notepad++. See http://superuser.com/questions/401551/notepad-cursor-past-end-of-line-virtual-spaces for a possible procedure (there are others, e.g. with Pythonscript).

    @0wlc0der

    currently I don’t see a way to reconfigure this and in addition
    I would think it might be more useful to check on start but running in the background.
    When exiting npp user should be asked about a new version ready to install with an option to skip
    this release at all or to postpone installation for another few days.

    Cheers

    Minor correction to the sample output, forgot the “Sel” part earlier. It should actually look like this:

    Ln:229 Col:103 Sel: 0|0 +r

    Not sure this is the same thing but a colleague of mine recently tried to change fonts in NPP. He changed it for the C language styles but for tab and spaces NPP (or Scintilla) refer only to the Global Styles --> Default Style. So the they were not synchronized to the C code. E.g. 4 spaces where shorter than 4 C chars since spaces where in ‘Global’ font and not the C font.

    @raja-sekhara-reddy-vangala

    npp is not a writer/word/wordpad/ replacement.
    If you need such functionality then you better use one of those.

    Npp is an editor which colors different parts of a text based on
    a lexers’ rules. This is done every time you open the respective file
    and not stored if you close the file.

    So when you want to have a particular file always get colored
    based on such rules and non of the builtin lexers can be used,
    you need to create your own lexer by using the user defined language dialog.

    Go To... offset ignores BOM

    What I guess I found out so far is the following

    First npp tries to detect if the file is a BOM file, if it is,
    it gets rid of the BOM signature and continues reading the file in converted utf-8.

    If it isn’t a BOM file it’s calling chardet library to see what codepage to use.
    If chardet returns, it is checked if it is reported to be utf-8 -> go on reading the file …
    if not, convert it to utf-8.

    But this, of course, happens only “virtual” for scintilla control.

    Cheers

    @Giancarlo-Riccio

    Are you by any chance talking about the capability provided by Notepad++'s Incremental Search feature?

    See the Search menu -> “Incremental Search”.

    If not, please clarify your inquiry…

    I’m not aware of a native builtin function so I would
    use a pdf printer driver and use the print function.

    Do a regular expression find-and-replace:

    Find what box: \t
    Replace with box: ,
    Search mode: Regular expression

    I agree, but, for me, programming is like cooking
    you can try as hard as possible but you won’t
    meet everyones taste.
