Thanks for that - it seems to work fine! David

Hi Scoot, Yeah, you’re right. In addition, if you previously did a selection, only the selected lines are joined :) But just consider that the way to always solve things, with regexes, is really my besetting sin !! Cheers, guy038

Worked perfectly, that you.

Look for MS INI file in Languages menu.

Thanks for the reply. There is a weird relation there it would seem. If I check that checkbox, then minimizing Notepad++ puts it into the system tray instead of the task bar. However, when I open a file from the file explorer with it in the sys tray, it brings Notepad++ to the forefront as I was use to. I was hoping checking and unchecking that would essentially reset something and fix the problem, but it didn’t. Once I unchecked it, minimizing puts Notepad++ back in the taskbar like usual, but then opening a file leaves it in the background. Thanks for the thought. I’ll keep digging. Maybe an uninstall/reinstall will fix it. (While also wiping out %appdata%/Roaming/Notepad++ )

Had a network drive file open - that may have been it. Thanks for the assist.

Creo que una forma de hacer eso en Notepad++ es mediante expresiones regulares (RegEx). Ejemplo: Teniendo el siguiente texto: % Hola Hola Nota: Coloca un carácter especial al inicio del texto, en este caso es el ‘%’ Dentro del cuadro de diálogo Reemplazar colocarías lo siguiente: Buscar: (%)(.*)(.) Reemplazar con: \3\1\2 Habilitas la opción Expresión regular, repites la operación (reemplazar) hasta que el texto sea invertido completamente. Espero que sea de ayuda Estoy de acuerdo con @MAPJe71 , postearlo en inglés aumentará tus posibilidades de obtener más respuestas.
