Notepad++ v7.5.8 (64-bit)
Build time : Jul 23 2018 - 02:06:36
Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : OFF
Local Conf mode : OFF
OS : Windows 10 (64-bit)
Plugins : DSpellCheck.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll

Hope that helps.

I do run npp as adminsitrator. But it worked before.
Thanks god I kept an old version of npp v6.6.9, and I tried, and it really worked on that version.
Hope it could be fixed, or maybe just don’t update npp.

@Ed-Kolis

Works for me (I think, based upon your limited description). Can you explain what you are doing more exactly, and what you expect to happen?

@Balakrishna-Wejobmakers

…and…?

I think it is, which is too bad. I don’t know who has the ability to unlock registration or who can even make edits. There’s some good information there, but also some cruft and it’s hard to tell which is which.

If anyone reading this can edit the wiki, this page says the "no plugins’ switch is -noPlugins when it’s -noPlugin

@C-Legge

It seems to work for me, even though I don’t use this feature normally. What exactly is your setup? Saying that:

set up my preferences exactly the same as on the older version of Notepad++ running on my other PC…

doesn’t help anyone trying to assist, as we don’t know what those settings are…

@Terry-R, yes and no. Yes, doing SaveAs CSV from inside Excel will save the CSV with the values. But if you hand-craft a CSV file like

"=5+6","=1+cos(.1)"

and open it in Excel, Excel will recognize and treat those as formulas when you open the CSV.

And there are ways to grab the formulas out of Excel and paste them into Notepad++, so it’s not unreasonable to want to be able to do syntax highlighting.

@Денис-Ревин , Unfortunately, I do not know of an Excel-forumla syntax highlighter available for download. If you wanted to spend the effort, you could use Notepad++'s Language > Define your language… to bring up the UDL (User Defined Language) dialog, and set up your own keywords, styles, etc.

Oh, I guess I was wrong. A quick search showed that the NPP Wiki’s UDL Files page has a link to xlf_udl.zip as described at “Daily Dose of Excel”

If you unzip that, then you can use Language > Define your language… > Import … to import the XML from that zipfile. Then, when you have Excel formulas in a given Notepad++ editor, you can select Language > XLF (where the “XLF” will be below the “Define your language…” option; if you don’t see it, you may have to exit Notepad++ and re-run it; I had to when I imported the XLF UDL). Once you manually select that Language (or if you save the file as .xlf, then it should automatically apply that Language when the file is opened).

Hmm… I think they actually did it the hard way. They listed every function individually as the opening string for a “Folding in code 1 style”, with the “)” to close any of them. But that means that the individual functions aren’t syntax highlighted, which seems to defeat the purpose to me.

I tried the experiment of cutting out all of those from the “open” tab (and temporarily pasting them in a blank NPP window); I then replaced the “Folding in code 1 style: Open:” with just the open parenthesis “(”. Then, in the NPP window, I deleted all the “(”, then copied all the function keywords into the UDL > Keywords Lists > 1st group, and applied a style. I think that would work better for you.

Anyway, good luck.

@coolalexhuang

do you think it is necessary to change the behavior of “Replace All” function to only replace selected text?

No, as there is a chekbox next to the replace all button which is called In selection
and does exactly what you are asking for.

@Subbarao-Manapragada

there is already an enhancement request open which addresses this feature.
Maybe you wanna update this with your suggestions and upvote the initial one.
But as long as no dev is interested in such a feature it might take some time,
before this get implemented.

I like that idea.

Cheers
Claudia

@wei-zhang

??? - if you right click on your project you can add folder, files or files from dictionary.
What else are you expecting?
Or do you refer to the folder as workspace functionality which is also available?
Might it be that you do have an really outdated npp version?

@anderwriter, @mikhail-v, @dail and All,

Just tried, Dail and it’s working nice !, But you just forgot your own excellent Lua plugin ;-))

So, once the Lua plugin installed, just use these commands to change left and/or right margins :

editor.MarginLeft = WidthInPixels

editor.MarginRight = WidthInPixels

And to know the current value of margins, simply type :

editor.MarginLeft

editor.MarginRight

and hit the Enter key or click on the Run button

Remark : The default Scintilla value, for the two margins, is 1 pixel wide, but value 0 is allowed, too !

Best Regards

As I’m sure everyone else will agree, the important thing isn’t how long you’ve been here, but that you use and appreciate NP++, and text in general. :?)

Are there spaces in the path and/or file name? If so, make sure you put quotes around it, like cmd /c "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

@Ralph-Ratz ,

I’m glad it’s working for you.

If you are going to be doing more regular expression manipulation of your text files (including if you ever just want to tweak this regex in order to make some change, like only doing ones that have semicolon’s after the > or something), you are going to want to study regex yourself.

We have a FAQ entry which explains where to find regex docs, which is a good starting point for learning about them. I’d recommend searching through some of those, and seeing if you can understand everything in the regex I gave. After reading the docs, if you’re having trouble understanding a portion of it, feel free to ask, and we can help clarify.

If you come back for future requests for regex help: please craft your own expression… and if it doesn’t work, then you can ask us, including: show what you tried, explain why you tried that (ie, what you think the regex should do, and what you think each piece of the regex is doing), and show what results you get that doesn’t match your expectations. This will help us to help you better.

(And the post “How to Markdown code on this Forum” will help you format posts, so the data exactly represents your actual data.)

Or I miss something obvious ?

I wasn’t talking about the forum.

All you missed was my (bad/slight) attempt at humor. As you know we get a lot of questions about Notepad++ and word-processing functions. As hopefully most everyone knows by now, Notepad++ is a text editor and as such does not possess many w.p. functions like bulleting or auto-numbering of bullet points.

Given that, I really do what I said, in text files…but I don’t think that was what the OP was after. But hopefully if the OP does read this s/he will understand the situation with bulleting.

Sounds like a server issue to me. But I could be wrong.

Does the same thing happen if you upload with a separate FTP client (like FileZilla)? If so, then the problem is solely on the server side, and you’ve asked your question in the wrong place

I am assuming by “using the FTP function”, you mean you are using the NppFTP client to remotely edit files on your server. If you mean something different, please clarify. If that is what you mean, what version of NppFTP are you using?

How do you determine “it upload with success”? Does the NppFTP - Output window (which can be enabled by the show messages window button in the main NppFTP interface) show “Upload of /path/to/filename succeeded.”? If so, do you really need to “click upload many times”, or is that multiple clicking just an attempt on your part trying to make the file accessible through your browser? Or do you have some other confirmation (other than not getting the updated file in the browser) that the file has not made it to your server, even though NppFTP claimed the upload was successful? If so, what is your other confirmation? (One possible confirmation: attach to your server using an external client, such as Filezilla or PuTTY-ssh, and confirm that the file has changed)

Assuming the file made it correctly to the server on your first click of the upload (and being patient enough for the transfer to complete), then the problem is solely on the server side, and you’ve asked your question in the wrong place.

server-side freebie advice: My guess is that if it’s correctly uploading, then there is a problem in communicating between the server and the browser that the file has changed. That might be as simple as timezone difference or misconfiguration: when you upload a file to the server, most webservers I’ve seen will send that stamp to the browser (when request) so that the browser can decide whether or not to download the new copy. Sometimes a bad timezone setup on the server, or sometimes web ISPs use a different machine for FTP connections than they do for the external web connections, so a date mismatch there will cause the file to appear to have been modified at an earlier time, so the browser doesn’t recognize it. (I seem to remember from years ago that some FTP clients allow you to specify a timezone offset for a given server, but NppFTP 0.27.4 does not appear to be one of them, and I cannot see those settings in my modern Filezilla 3.34.0) Also, even with the times correct, a webserver may have its own caching mechanism, and might not poll your particular file for some number of seconds or minutes before it notices the file has changed and starts serving the new Last Modified Time to the browser.

We’re happy to answer Notepad++ questions, and NppFTP is reasonably connected enough that we’ll do our best (though we may have to pass you on to NppFTP experts at some point).

But unless you share some evidence that it’s unique to the Notepad++ setup, then you’ve asked your question in the wrong place, and should probably find a better forum for experts in the field you’re using (ie, for your webserver).

@bheorcnh

I assume this FAQ should be considered.
