From what I’ve found in a short Google research is, that ex4 is some kind of properitary data format and thus is not a plain text file. N++ probably isn’t going to help you with that format.

@guy038 - thx for sharing, not sure why I’ve missed those.

@Alan-Kilborn interpreted:

I think what is being said is that Plugins Admin installed Pythonscript 3.0.3 for the OP.

The Plugins Admin does not install v3.0.3.

If that is what he was trying to say, then he was wrong.

64bit: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/blob/master/src/pl.x64.json#L796-L805 32bit: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/blob/master/src/pl.x86.json#L1086-L1095

both of those show quite clearly that the nppPluginList points at the v1.5.4 download, as it should.

What happened was that @V-S-Rawat already had 3.0.3-alpha installed; when he tried to install v1.5.4 somehow (he isn’t clear whether he did it through Windows or Plugins Admin) that Plugins Admin still showed that v3.0.3 was installed. My guess is that if he tried with Plugins Admin, it doesn’t downgrade a plugin to an earlier version, so v3.0.3 was still there. Or my other guess would be that he tried to manually install v1.5.4 without first deleting v3.0.3, so there was some conflict between the plugin DLL and the python DLL, or some such, causing the crash.

Now, replying to the OP:

@V-S-Rawat wrote:

plugin admin will go ahead and download and installe 3.0.3

No, it did not. Plugin Admin just couldn’t fix the mess you’d made by all your manual installation without uninstalling previous versions. You cannot blame that on Plugins Admin.

Plugins Admin will not install a newer version until the plugin maintainer issues a PR to the nppPluginList , and until that version of nppPluginList gets distributed with the subsequent version of Notepad++. There is no version of Notepad++ currently existing which has a Plugins Admin that will install v3.0.3.

Plugin Admin will always download and install latest version

Wrong again. Plugins Admin will only download the one version that is hardcoded into nppPluginList for that version of Notepad++. They have not yet implemented the feature which will allow nppPluginList to be updated without releasing a new version of Notepad++.

Plugins Admin is a tool, and you have to know how to use that tool.

If you don’t want to install the version of a plugin that Plugins Admin lists as available, then it is your responsibility to install it correctly manually, and your responsibility to download a copy that is compatible with your version of Notepad++, and your responsibility to make sure it’s compatible with any pre-existing config files (or, in the case of PythonScript, scripts that you’ve written), and your responsibility to clean up the mess when something goes wrong.

@guy038 said in Search for word and if found move it up one row:

…with 40 space characters

My bet is that it isn’t a constant 40 spaces that is wanted.
It will depend upon the other lines and where ** NEW ** occurs in them.
However, and it’s a big however, we need more data to be able to help!

Correct! Thank you.
Indeed was a Win file (CR+LF) and works fine searching & replacing:
\r\n;;;;;;;;x;
to
;;;;;;;;x;

Windows has another api: SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems, which is much faster than invoking expolerer.

See my implementation.

@PeterJones

oh my … not a good sign … maybe should stop scripting for today :-D

Thank you Peter.

@PeterJones
THANK YOU!
whether it was my computer monitor or font size or shrunken size window in Notepad++ I simply could not see the underscored red dots showing the spelling errrors. They showed up CLEARLY in the copy/pasted JPGs in my response… I just didn’t see them on my computer.

Oh my… Does this mean I’ve passed middle age? Sorry …
Thank You again!

@Ze-Roberto

Not 100% sure what you mean, since you were very brief, but let’s assume that if your text is found you want to delete the entire line it is found upon.

For your example, you would do set this up:

1e065fec-2816-4e22-b0be-ac1e9790b570-image.png

Perhaps also tick Match case.

Then you would press the Replace or Replace All button.

@pascal-scalpa

The bug is always here !

There is no bug.

For the record, I chose to post a comment on this issue to second the suggestion and add my remarks.

@jamminjames

works for me.

Did you try to start without any plugins loaded?

@Hassan-Iqbal said in Is it possible to create "hyperlink" to places within a notepad++ document?:

Is there a way to do this in Notepad++ while using plain text files? It would require that Notepad++ identity certain sequence of characters as being a link to another line or marker in the file.

Пример текста можете привести?

@Ekopalypse said in Function List tab stops:

What about adding a WS_TABSTOP here?

I was able to try that and get it to compile! Sadly, it did not work. Seems to be a bit more complicated.

Cheers.

@KnIfER ,

Ah, okay.

This forum is for discussion of the official Notepad++, and not for forks or similar/competing products. Any further discussion of your fork should take place in your github or other channels that you define, rather than using this forum.

Though if you ever have comments/discsussion relevant to the mainstream Notepad++, feel free to participate here. I am sure by developing a derivative, you will have great insight into the original.

Good luck with your endeavors.

@Hans-v-Buitenen ,

Your questions seem more about wanting changes, rather than asking for help. You should know that, as described in the Feature Request FAQ, this forum isn’t the place to request new features, because the developer doesn’t look for feature requests in the forum, and issues cannot be tracked in the forum. If you do make a feature request, make sure you post a link into the original conversation here, so that others who read this forum can track the progress of the request.

That said, it is generally a good idea to discuss the problems you are having in this forum, especially if you’re willing to accept the workarounds or alternates – even if it’s not the ideal for you. But your first topic which I responded to tends to indicate you aren’t willing to accept alternates to your way of thinking, which is likely to your detriment as a Notepad++ user.

Regarding this specific issue, sessions don’t currently have titles, so there’s nothing to change. Filenames are a good place to store the name of the session. The taskbar names are the name of the active file, so you could just select the NPP instance with the file from the session you want.

Personally, I don’t use multiple sessions, and only use multi-instance mode when I’m helping someone on the forum debug a multi-instance issue, or when I am using Notepad++ to edit my SVN commit messages (ie, I forgot -m "..." during my svn commit – and thus, it’s being used to edit a single file without messing up my single existing session), so I’m not the best person to reply to this… but no one else seems to be chiming in, so I thought I’d say something. However, Plugins > Plugins Admin has a Session Manager plugin available (it’s website is here), which may help you better handle sessions than you currently are. (or maybe you’re already using it, and it doesn’t do everything you need it to; I cannot know, because you haven’t mentioned such).

If anyone else with more session expertise wants to chime in, I won’t be offended.
