    Hi, Scott, Many thanks for detecting my mistake ! Ah, I carried on my error, through all the contents of my post :-(( So, simple lesson : beware about the real pasted text !! BTW, I’ve already updated my previous post Scott, you’re, really an attentive reader, aren’t you ? Brrrr ! I ought to be careful when I write future posts ;-) But, Scott, if I did an obvious grammar fault or if I was totally wrong about an English expression or word, don’t hesitate to tell me about it ! It will improve “my” English, which is far from being fluent ! Cheers, guy038

    @Bruce-Hopkins not sure how it did work at all. I assume that the data is allways in the form name@domainPIPE… (PIP is ofcourse | ) in such case I would use the following regex in find \|.*$ and replace it with a comma. Make sure regex has been selected. Cheers Claudia

    @yc-z this shouldn’t happen. Would you mind open an issue at https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/ with a reference to the already closed issue #2700. Thank you Claudia

    Out of curiosity I did browse the code to see how “find in files” works in Notepad++. As far as I understood: NPP scans the directory tree and creates a list of all files that match the Filters. For each file in the list NPP will: – Load the ifile into NPP in “hidden” state. During that load NPP will guess the file’s unicode encoding. NPP may very well guess wrong. – Search hidden file within NPP for required pattern. – Add matching locations to ‘finder’. – Close hidden file. I did not go into the actual comparison but pattern should be matched to file using some common encoding. Either pattern is re-encoded into the guessed file encoding or during the scan each symbol is translated into its Unicode point of U+### and compared. The bottom line is that if the initial encoding guess was wrong NPP will fail to find matches. I use NPP mostly for UTF-8/ASCII files and sometimes for UTF-16 (Microsofts default). NPP auto detect these well. I will not be surprised if rarer (country specific) encodings are often misdetected. In any case this “find in files” scheme is very slow and I hardly use it. I prefer ‘greping’ externally. It would be nice to implement for code developers a much more efficient UTF-8 only find in files that does not bother to load each file into Notepad++. Possibly in a plugin.

    @Andrew-Dunn Not a bad idea, it might be tough to find a unique-enough default color to be pleasing to all. There’s a red already in use for the Mark feature. Aside from selected text (medium-to-dark grey) and anything else in use that I’ve forgotten, here are the colors that Notepad++ already uses (plugins not considered!): http://imgur.com/a/IoRHu

    @Claudia-Frank Yes. That way, I can work on the same file in multiple places in the file. Plus, I work most of the time on laptop, and that is why the size of the view point is important to me. I was for a wile opening the same file as “Open in new instance”, so I had a full windows view. But the problem with this approach is, that I can not edit both file at once. After I save a file in one instance, I lost changes I made in another instance of notepad++.

    @Scott-Sumner no pressure, no pressure - I thought of a simple solution like import os search_string = 'HERE_YOUR_STRING' i = 0 for root, dirs, files in os.walk('C:\\WHAT_EVER_DIR\\'): # take care of double backslash like c:\\temp\\dir1\\ for file in files: fname, ext = os.path.splitext(file) if ext == '.xml': i+=1 full_path = os.path.join(root, file) with open(full_path) as f: s = f.read() s = s.replace(search_string, search_string + str(i)) with open(full_path, "w") as f: f.write(s) but now, maybe an windows api solution?? ;-)) Cheers Claudia

    Thank you! That is what I need. I called “stupid” baceuse I have searched the Internet and I saw that many, many, many people wanted to disable that option. One of the main features of NPP is acctualy that: Open as much files as you can (by draging into interface) and process them simultaniously. Developers had had to consider all perspectives in the beginning. :) Anyway, I didn’t want to offence anyone and thank you for your help!

    That’s a nice observation. And another point: Tabs from other windows are not displayed. So the window title should be “Window Tabs” instead of “Windows” and the command “Close window(s)” should be “Close tab(s)”. BR

    @Kevin-McKee if it is a general question, then the answer is every recent version. If you have a particular issue then name it and we can see if there is a solution to it. Cheers Claudia

    @D-L in the meantime, instead of using the menu funtion to sava as copy, you could use a scripting language like lua script or python script to do it. Possible way to go? Cheers Claudia

    hello guy38. Yes, it’s ok. I wanted to save my special regex into notepad ++ so that not to open the file with all my regex expressions.
