@alan-kilborn Thanks. Still driving me nuts every time I CtrlTab!

I was able to get this working…

@alan-kilborn Hi Alan,
Thank you for that piece of code!

@alexander-groh ,

Deleting a topic after it’s been answered is considered rude. The topic has been restored by a moderator.

@trevor-w said in Default for C++ language:

that worked.

Glad it worked for you.

this should be the solution to @queenidog1 problem too.

Doubtful. As explicitly stated, the original post was about pasting text into a new document (that is, what you get when you open Notepad++ with no previous session open, or what you get from a File>New), whereas your question was how to treat an already-existing file that you open with File>Open or equivalent. Those are two separate things, and the answer I gave to each is the right way of handling those two separate situations.

@terry-r Yes! I solved. Thank you

@Steve-James

If you are willing to “script” it, you can find a workaround to the native deficiency HERE.

@alan-kilborn said in Count Blank Rows:

Maybe change your regular expression to ^\s*\R ?

Yea…my advice was bad. :-(
It will count several blank lines in a row as one.
Go with the Peter solution.

@ludamo-0 said in Remove extra NP++ description from "Open with..." menu!:

@ten2120 Well again the details are a little hazy but there are a number of programs which have this value. The simplest would be wordpad.exe seeing it is built in to windows, or wmplayer.exe. Also common programs like vlc and irfanview have it (originally I think). I may have used procmon from SysInternals to see what keys are referenced when R-clicking in explorer.

Thanks. Big help, I would check it out (SysInternals). 👍

@alan-kilborn said in Find and Replace in Column Selection Mode:

I will be posting a Pythonscript with this capability “soon”.
Watch for it.

This was finally done HERE.

Hello, @grzegorz-szyszło, @peterjones, @alan-kilborn and All,

OMG ! I must had been very tired, yesterday, when I posted ! Of course, you’re right ! Thanks, Alan.

P.S. :

So I suppose that this option, below, is quite useless !!

@jonathan-sachs ,

User Defined Languages do not show up in the alphabetized Language > R or similar… they show up at the bottom of the Language menu, below the Language > User Defined Language > … submenu (for your v8.1.3; or, if you are in as old of a Notepad++ as Steen-Hultin’s UDL screenshots show, below the Language > Define Your Language…).

… in my screenshot, ABC, Markdown (preinstalled), Markdown (preinstalled dark mode), and TI-Basic are all UDL that I can select.

The file UserDefineLangs.xml contains an entry for this UDL.

If that’s true, then Language > reStructuredText should show up near the Markdown entry, and Language > Define Your Language (or in a modern Notepad++, Language > User Defined Language > Define Your Language) should have reStructuredText in the User Language pulldown – see that mine shows the same languages in that pulldown that were in my menu screenshot:

If you cannot figure it out from this, you might want to give us a screenshot of one or both of those locations to aid in debugging, along with going to the ?-menu Debug Info entry, clicking on the Copy debug info into clipboard hyperlink, and paste that into your reply as well.

Hello, @kloruklass and All,

Given your ( uniq ! ) example :

dmg_sm0993_event (summonedtable) 0039-event [damage=hit_defend_fail_se_0039_type=slash_low] [damage_fail_type=defend_fail] {!} {r} {m} {s} {e}

With the following regex S/R :

SEARCH (?-s)[^\w{}\r\n]+(?:\x20*({.+?})|)

REPLACE ?1:_

Tick the Wrap around option

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click once, on the Replace All button

You’ll get this temporary text :

dmg_sm0993_event_summonedtable_0039_event_damage_hit_defend_fail_se_0039_type_slash_low_damage_fail_type_defend_fail

Now, using this second regex S/R :

SEARCH (?i-s)(([a-z0-9]+)_.*)_\2(?:(_)|\R|\z)

REPLACE \1?3_

Click on the Replace All button, several times, till you see the status line 0 occurrences were replaced in entire file ( IMPORTANT )

And you’ll get the expected text :

dmg_sm0993_event_summonedtable_0039_damage_hit_defend_fail_se_type_slash_low

Best Regards

Hello, @artie-finkelstein and All,

Yes, your different points of view are quite sensible ! It’s just that I still used to think about a laptop as a limited storage device ( My old Win XP machine had two partitions : C: of 10 Gb and D: of 30 Gb, only ! ). So, let me a couple of weeks to fully realize that my new Win 10 laptop has 415 Gb of free space !!

I first considered to recopy all my 30 Gb pack of photos ( already saved on two different external HDD and on a 64 Gb USB key ) on the SSD disk of my HP machine. But, you’re right ! This operation is useless : I just have to keep the USB key and the tiny 2 Tb HDD, recently purchased, in my laptop bag, for any further photo session !

Cheers

@peterjones

This is great, thank you very much

@Guilherme-Gueringh ,

Do you have your periodic session backup turned on?
If yes, could you please try disabling it and see if the CPU usage is still high?
Can you also check the CPU usage when you disable your network connectivity (all of it - Ethernet cable and WiFi)?

@marlon-dana ,

As far as I know, files that begin with RIFF and then binary data are Resource Interchange File Format, which are the “container” format used for WAV music files and similar binary data.

Like I said, it looks like the CFG file at that name has been overwritten with data that isn’t normally in a .cfg. I cannot see how opening it in Notepad++ could have caused that. And if you open it with Windows Notepad (notepad.exe, that came with your OS), I am sure you will see the RIFF and some of the other plaintext, and not be able to see the original CFG data.
