@swegmike said in functionlist problem:

Is there a way to have the functionlist show multiple lines

Nope

Or where the regexp can manipulate the multiline into one for the functionlist to display it completely

I believe the manual explicitly stated that the functionalist regex cannot change the text; it is a match-only expression

@PeterJones I’ll need to think about what you wrote.

However, this is why I was using this particular reqexp based on the help from reg101 tester website. (see their help explanation below).
This seemed to satisfy an If statement true/false condition. For the no part, I was matching another word to see how it worked with the intent of changing this to empty. Then my named group “COND” would be null, but in reality it just matched every word and then marked them as null in the string since there was no match - not what I was expecting either.
So if COND matched “if” show it in the functionlist and if it contained a colon before it skip it and not show it in the functionlist. Moreover, when COND is no/false that the second match of empty, this result wouldn’t be shown in the function list since its null (but I would end with alot of null matches within a line of code being parsed)…

Lookahead conditional

(?(?=…)yes|no)
If the lookahead succeeds, matches the pattern before the vertical bar. Otherwise, matches the pattern after the vertical bar. The lookaround can be negative also. Global flag breaks conditionals.
Example: Thus for true it highlights “is delicious”

/(?(?=is)(is delicious)|(disgusting))/
Candy is delicious or disgusting.

Since the functionlist displays functions, I need to ignore if and while statements and not show them in the functionlist but when they are overloaded by preceding them with :: such as ::if, which can be defined by a function that gives if a modified meaning, I need to show them in the functionlist. Same for while or any operator such as + - / * = etc.

@Maxitrol-Mat Whether black is good or not depends on the contemporary interpretation… ^^
I remember from my student days that we had to replace a NEXT station computer and scrap it per se because it was completely black (case, monitor, keyboard)
But at the same time, consequently, all Windows 3.0 to at least Windows 7 computer systems should have been scrapped, because the default color is white/black and could hardly be changed and pretty much never was, which clearly violates the German workplace guidelines for eye protection…

you have not fully embraced the Unicode concept – you probably should.

Feels like PHP hasn’t embraced Unicode.

I’ll read the other references in regards to options and ways to guard against this issue. Thank you.

@Terry-R ,

And to you and yours and all the NPP people.

I just wanted to come back and thank everyone again for their help. As I had hoped, I took parts of multiple suggestions and came up with a sequence of search-and-replace steps which has reduced my log editing time to under ten minutes for a full week’s worth. Two months into the new process and not a single glitch!

Best of all, I increased my knowledge base in the process. I love it when solving a problem results in my learning something new!

Again, thank you all for your help.

Hi @Alan-Kilborn ok thank you, I have just created the issue https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/npp-usermanual/issues/457

@Arthur-Alunts ,

The font you set in Notepad++ is just how the text is displayed in the entire Notepad++ application – and every text file you open. Font information is not saved inside text files. If having multiple fonts in your document is important to you, then you need to look for a “word processor”, not a text editor. Notepad++ is a text editor, not a word processor. (Word processors include the bundled-with-Windows MS Wordpad, or MS Office’s Word, or free ones like LibreOffice. But word processors are not the subject of this forum, so that’s as much as you’ll get about word processors here.)

@PeterJones

Sorry for my late response, but I visit the forum only occasionally.

It seems like you felt my last comment was in some kind offending, rude or at least harsh. If this is true I beg you pardon, it was not my intention to be like that. Maybe it seems so because English is not my mother tongue and I was not able to find an appropriate wording when I quickly fired off my comment.

And of course no one can know every single detail of all plugins, even if they use them themselves.

The marker ID used for bookmarks changed in Notepad++ 8.4.6 (and later). It is now 20, instead of 24. So, all references to 24 in this thread and/or its script(s), should be changed to 20.

@Alan-Kilborn No problems, I am just grateful that you guys were there to improve my understanding of NotePad and it’s configuration.

@Maxima-120

Your N++ debug info? (paste here info from the N++ menu ? -> Debug Info…)

Was there a Windows restart/shutdown involved? I mean - you (or Windows OS itself) restarted your PC while N++ was still running and then you have lost your N++ tabs after reopening the N++?

There’s a possible solution for this thread’s topic, HERE.

@Juan ,

@PeterJones I corrected it, one less error in WP!
