@KiWiKo said in how to find commas between numbers, exclude them, and only find the rest of them:

@mkupper oh oh and also, how can i include punctuation at the end of sentences like here too:

that’s 500.

Search for ([0-9])[,.!?](\x20|$)
Replace with \1\2

The first group ([0-9]) matches and saves in \1 a decimal digit. The [,.!?] matches the set of punctuation characters you identified earlier. The second group (\x20|$) matches either a space or the end of the line. I used \x20 instead of a space for readability. You can use ( |$) but it’s not always obvious there is a space in there.

If you also want to remove punctuation at the end of sentences that end with a letter then use ([A-Za-z0-9])

@maimonid-toledano

Regarding Yaron10, how am I supposed to get him interested by my issue?

Don’t worry; he’ll take an interest. :-)

This is closely related to different plugins for different unprivileged users w/ one install?. The original poster in that thread created a feature request.

While the situation you describe is simpler, implementing the feature request as suggested would include adding what you want. Take a look at the feature request and add a comment explaining your use case if you feel it is appropriate.

@PeterJones Of course this is my opinion, otherwise it would be your opinion.

The answer to my question is probably no;
I have found it’s easy to create a script (to which can assign the shortcut), using the following ingredients:

SCI_ADDSELECTION SCI_GETCURRENTPOS SCI_GETANCHOR SCI_GETCOLUMN SCI_LINEFROMPOSITION SCI_FINDCOLUMN

But it might be worth having it natively in Npp.

@deleelee said in [Feature Request] Increase number of delimiters:

The only issue I see with this is that some people may want to define ‘unmatched’ delimiters (eg: ( to open and ] to close)

I believe that by “matching pair”, in his reply, @PeterJones meant whatever you define it to be, so it can be (] if you want so.
His general suggestion on space-separated lists covers that, so you can include that as an alternative in your github request.

@PeterJones said in Save as [type] lacks an option for .py (python) file:

The natural implementation would be for Notepad++ to include the extensions listed in all loaded User Defined Languages in addition to the native language file extensions

I agree 100% and have added my support to your request. I also think we should be able to add file extensions for languages we don’t have UDLs for, and I’ve mentioned that as well.

I would add that the LSP clients in Notepad++ are cool, but ultimately it is very hard for the single-digit number of developers working on them part-time to compete with the large teams of developers working on improving the LSP clients for other applications like Visual Studio and VSCode.

@Saiapatsu said in [feature request] Move tab to beginning / end:

Here are LuaScript functions for this, which don’t seem too difficult to port to other scripting plugins

Indeed; here’s a PythonScript version:

@Sonali-Sonu ,

End of version support dates

That’s not Notepad++'s “support” model. The support model is “if you find a bug, try the most recent version; if it’s not fixed, report the bug in the most recent version at the official issues pages”.

There will never be a “v8.4.6 bugfix” version once a version after v8.4.6 has been released. Bug fixes always go in the most recent release.

Nice work!

@Alan-Kilborn I was tinkering everything on that page but unfortunately couldn’t find what I was looking for. I’m new to NPP so excuse my lack of knowledge. Enabling each 4 ‘Fold Margin Style’ does the same: creates a very thin line around the page. “Border Width” does nothing changing value.
Actually what I’m looking for (green marked in the image below) is kind of like “Padding: Top”. Thanks for your reply.

@RH-Hutchins My advice for HTML, or anything, and NP++, or anything, is to aim small. If you type “aim small” into Google you will discover there’s a second part and it’s “aim small, miss small” but it all starts with “aim small.”

Work on understanding small pieces that are easy to chew and swallow. If you come across something that seems too large to consume comfortably then cut it into smaller pieces.

HTML in itself is a huge topic. Most of the web developers I have run across seem to know 1% or of HTML. When they need to work on a web page developed by someone else they often throw out the old/previous work as their 1% does not line up with the 1% of the previous developer.

As far as using NP++ goes, I myself use plain NP++ with no plugins or other special support for HTML. I test the HTML code using a web browser.

@PeterJones well i was wondering if its possible to fix but i have searched about this and apprently it can not be fixed so thats why its a dicussion abou the approach just seeing if others have founnd the solution for it

@PeterJones
I see, thanks for the reply.

@PeterJones Thank you!

@Foodland2023 said in Notepad++ delete 2 lines below a specific string:

Could you suggest any link which gives the detailed explanation of all these?

Yes. In fact, I already did. In my post above: the USEFUL REFERNCES in big bold letters led to links to the Notepad++ Online User Manual: Searching/Regex and to the “FAQ: Where to find other regular expressions (regex) documentation”. That rather gave you what you asked for two hours before you asked for it.

@wonkawilly It looks like you have found a good reason to get access to a newer computer and a more structured learning environment than youtube videos. Hopefully there are people in your life that can help and support you in that area.

To get the thread back on the Notepad++ topic, you could try posing the question “Is it possible to recompile Notepad++ on Windows NT 4.0?” or whatever version of Windows you have. Once you are able to generate an .exe file that works then tweaking it via changes to the source code is far easier to learn plus understand than doing the same from the ground up.

I thought Notepad++ could be compiled using gcc, which is more portable, but it’s possible the code has gone down the Visual Studio path long enough that gcc is no longer an option.

@vijay-kumar
This was the posters reply to solutions provided in a previous thread here.

Please don’t do this as someone reading your reply will have no idea what you refer to. You should have replied in the original thread you started.

I have provided links in both threads so readers will understand what was asked and the replies given.
