I think what Eko is getting at is that there are several types of double quotes when one considers unicode and maybe what you are searching for isn’t the same type as in your document. Note also that sometimes the opening double quote is the same as the closing double quote, and sometimes they are different. Know your data.

Some years ago the TextFX plugin was part of all Notepad++ installations. This has changed somewhere in the past. Now you have to install it separately via PluginsAdmin, the new build-in plugin management system of Notepad++ since v7.6.

Note: Do not use the old PluginManager anymore, it is not suitable for recent versions of Notepad++ !!.

Though there is also a 64 bit version of TextFX you should not use it, it isn’t working reliable. Take the 32 bit version instead. Thus you have to install a 32 bit version of Notepad++ as well.

But you should use the latest version of Notepad++ which is v7.7.1. You can download it at the project’s website.

Here’s a quick example with NppExec which will handle Bold for HTML and Markdown based on file extension:

NPP_CONSOLE keep IF "$(EXT_PART)"~=".html" THEN SEL_SETTEXT <b>$(CURRENT_WORD)</b> ELSE IF "$(EXT_PART)"~=".md" THEN SEL_SETTEXT __$(CURRENT_WORD)__ ENDIF

Save that script as “Bold Current Word” and add it to the Macro menu with NppExec and then use “Settings” => “Shortcut Mapper…” to map the CTRL-B shortcut to it.

Adding additional scripts to do Italics for example can be done with simple modifications to the above example and is left as an exercise for the reader.

Cheers.

Thanks for the tip of NppSaveAsAdmin . It was not available from the PluginsAdmin, but I downloaded it from SourceForge

Works perfectly!!

One problem less…

Thanks. Really hope someone take this, add more features (like you have two boxes, the “from” and the “two”, which only accepts a decimal integer ranging from 2-36, this is the radix, similar to javascript’s [parseInt(string, radix)] and [number.toString(radix)]), and post this to a “submission section” (as in, a public place containing lots of plugins for notepad++, and/or also available on the menubar -> Plugins -> Plugins Admin -> Available tab).

this Hex_2_binary plugin not really very useful . i’m author of remove duplicate lines plugin already. if you should Hex_2_binary plugin make better then explain me .actually i’m week in english.

you have to do a plan using Remove duplicate lines plugin

Wait what i put plugin dll into plugins folder and imported it , but nothing is showing in program, or under plugins and i restarted it.

Based on this symptom, I diagnose that you are using Notepad++ v7.6.3 or newer (hopefully v7.7.1). If so, then put navigateTo.dll as plugins\NavigateTo\navigateTo.dll, then restart notepad++.

Correct, the EnhanceUDLLexer.py is optimized for UDLs whereas
EnhanceAnyBuiltinLexer.py should be used for builtin lexers.

@WildCactuar - if you are using a recent npp version, like npp 7.7 onwards then
pythonscript plugin can only be used if you are using a 32bit version. 64bit is broken.
If it is only about to get the telephone numbers highlighted, then you might think of using
a regular expression like \d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4} and using mark feature from find dialog.
Record a macro if you want to reuse it more often.

how do I do it when the file/s are on the web server

That’s not a native Notepad++ feature

In pure Notepad++: You must download the files to your PC, or have mounted the server so that Windows can see it. If you’re using the NppFTP plugin for Notepad++, then you just have to open those files through the remote interface, and then you should be in %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\config\NppFTP\Cache. Or you use an application that crawls a website and can grep it for certain terms.

THAT sounds simplest for your situation @Cletos , but that’s just my 2c.

Yes, that is very great, thank you!

Here’s what I do (note: this is way too advanced for @Cletos), note that I always run portable:

Yes, extreemly too advanced. Sounds like a quite big effort.

@imthenachoman

npp knows only the concept of having statically defined completions lists.
If you want such functionality you need to find out if the language
in question offers some tools which can be used by npp to introspect your object.

Hi, thanks for the script. It opened a new world to me :)

I Changed the enumerator [NOTIFICATION.FILESAVED] to [NOTIFICATION.FILEOPENED] and It worked but with a problem: if I do not have any opened file it work well, if I have, it change the language to the first opened file… So, I just added notepad.activateFile(filename) before the menu command and it work ok :)

Thanks!

Is there a option in Notepad++ to preserve

I’m not sure what you’re trying to preserve, or what you think Notepad++ didn’t preserve for you.

If you only changed https://oldname to https://newname, then nothing else should have changed. However, if your oldname or newname were not literally those, but included regex characters, and you had enabled regular expression search/replace mode, then that might explain things.

But so far, I don’t see that you’ve given us enough information.

Please Read

FYI:

This forum is formatted using Markdown, with a help link buried on the little grey ? in the COMPOSE window/pane when writing your post. For more about how to use Markdown in this forum, please see @Scott-Sumner’s post in the “how to markdown code on this forum” topic, and my updates near the end. It is very important that you use these formatting tips – using single backtick marks around small snippets, and using code-quoting for pasting multiple lines from your example data files – because otherwise, the forum will change normal quotes ("") to curly “smart” quotes (“”), will change hyphens to dashes, will sometimes hide asterisks (or if your text is c:\folder\*.txt, it will show up as c:\folder*.txt, missing the backslash). If you want to clearly communicate your text data to us, you need to properly format it. That topic also explains how to embed images by uploading them to a public server like imgur.com, and embedding them using the syntax 

If you have further search-and-replace (“matching”, “marking”, “bookmarking”, regular expression, “regex”) needs, study this FAQ and the documentation it points to. Before asking a new regex question, understand that for future requests, many of us will expect you to show what data you have (exactly), what data you want (exactly), what regex you already tried (to show that you’re showing effort), why you thought that regex would work (to prove it wasn’t just something randomly typed), and what data you’re getting with an explanation of why that result is wrong. When you show that effort, you’ll see us bend over backward to get things working for you. If you need help formatting, see the paragraph above.

Please note that for all regex and related queries, it is best if you are explicit about what needs to match, and what shouldn’t match, and have multiple examples of both in your example dataset. Often, what shouldn’t match helps define the regular expression as much or more than what should match.

…or can fix it

I think it falls in the feature request arena; it’s not something that is technically broken.

Thank you so much - I´ve overseen the double quotes on fact of serious eye problem. :-(

Now everything works fine and it looks good!

Notepad++ offers you a few modes for File Status auto-detection:

Disabled. Enabled. Which is what you describe. Enabled and update silently. Which is my default.

For every mode some user can come with some flavor of your “hey” comments:
Disabled - “hey I just checked out my latest git repo and then overwrote by mistake 5 files with old versions”.
Enabled - “hey, see your example above”.
Update silently - “hey I just checked out my latest git repo and lost 4 hours work for unsaved file”.
Your proposed notify on tab switch mode = “hey I checked out my latest git repo and 2 hours later I still get a modified warning when I switch between my 500 open tabs”.

All of these comments are correct in the right context. And all of them are also wrong. Notepad++ gives plenty of choices and a user has a responsibility for his choices.

Forgive me for quoting myself from another ticket: Try to be a little less egocentric and realize that Notepad++ needs to balance different requirements of thousands of usage patterns.

So we don’t need to talk about the non-bug you describe. But you may politely offer a well thought improvement to Notepad++. But also expect some push back from other users with different use cases.

Thank, works. So, for my example, the mozilla chardet library does not work correctly.

find what : ^.*\*/
replace with : empty
search mode : regular expression

menu item > edit > blank operation > trim leading space

Have you tried winmerge.org ? More convenient and probably more efficient than NPPP plugin(s).
