thanks for the suggestions,
I’m having similar problems on android with an app I use to log my sms messages,
some text is unicode and some is not I guess,
because if I select unicode some part is recognized, but not all of it,
the same if I reverse it, I contacted the app developer and he said that it’s not one of his priorities (to fix it) now, so there is an issue in general

as for the xml file, the problem started from the fact that I couldn’t send the file as an email from my work’s desktop to my mobile (it was rejected by exchange server - only mail I have access to - I’ve still haven’t figured out why… anyway…), so I opened it, I copied the content, I pasted it on github and then I opened my mobile browser and I got the text from github, somewhere on the whole process greek characters broke

I opened the file from the disk now and it is utf-8-bom, but it didn’t matter I guess

@Mark-Wevers

Let’s consider the following scenario.
You create a file A.txt and save it.
Your backup solution, whatsoever it is, needs to know that it needs
to backup that file. Normally this is done by using either a command
to back it up or by using some kind of scheduler which executes such
a command in a cycle.

What happens if the backup tries to save the file.
It opens the original file, reads it, closes it (hopefully)
opens the backup file and tries to write what has been read before.

Now what if the pc gets shutdown in between the step of opening
the backup file and trying to write it - file gets corrupted.

Thank you, @guy038. I had been trying the notation similar to (?(1)00:01) in the replace, rather than (?{1}00:01), which is why I wasn’t able to get the conditional to work right.

@V-S-Rawat

OMG, I thought you were talking about something within Notepad++! Like a file-reload prompt or something!!

Dude! That works - that completely works!

Thanks you SO MUCH!

funny-looking text

made my day 😂👍😂 best description ever.
i confirm that you can always (*) open a jpg as binary text representation in notepad++ and upload it via nppftp. nppftp will analyse the content and change to 8 bit binary type i automatically.
( * disclaimer: my always means: at least every time i did this, it worked ;-) )

@Bart-Tecter said:

did you check one of those files?

That is a reasonable suggestion.

If you want to increase the chances of the developer noticing this suggestion and possibly implementing it in a future release, you can follow the instructions in this FAQ to add a feature request in the official issues-page.

@Arash-m ,

“bold” isn’t quote the word I would use, because all the text is identical size/boldness for the 32bit and 64bit.

But yes, the 32bit is listed first (that could arguably be caused by “alphanumeric sort”) and 32bit has the big download icon, whereas the 64bit just has the textual links – so it does seem to emphasize / encourage 32bit download over the 64bit download.

If you want to improve the chances that the developer will notice your suggestion, follow the instructions in the FAQ for adding an issue to the issues page.

ps: sorry, my first

I copied/pasted from the rendered rather than the source, so the link disappeared.

The link was there below in my FYI section, but I wanted to make it clear.

@REVerdi

Your first point:

the selected character count includes the hidden characters (CR+LF in Windows)…they should not be counted.

Hmmm, guess I don’t see why they shouldn’t be included in the count; they are there, taking up space.

I agree with you on your second point; see this thread I created a long time ago: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/13087/sel-in-status-bar-is-off-by-1-on-line-count

sorry for that!
i will write more details next time!

Yes, you right!
i just want to decode/encode the text into unicode utf-16
i was using branah.com/unicode-converter but it’s for online use only!

i tried your guide and it’s worked great!
the HTML tag plugin it’s was my dream!

thanks you @Meta Chuh & npp community for everything!

Will help you VirtualBox

btw @chcg :
(a little off topic, but i’ll wrap it as text limit ;-) )

did you or @donho have time to take a closer look at the UCharDet 0.0.6 implementation issue ?

i’ve tested UCharDet 0.0.6 separately and it detects all test samples correctly, and i can’t find out why, nor understand where the (pretty same) code behaves differently, when implemented into notepad++.

(side note, if it might be something to look at: quite a few users reported, that once detected falsely, you can’t hit “encode in utf-8”, as the bullet jumps right back to the language in “character sets” it has been falsely marked with. you can, however, select “convert to utf-8” and the bullet will stay there. i’ve been able to reproduce this every time)

some people need a third person’s voice to start to listen 👍 ;-)
