This PS, saved as startup.py (user NOT machine and PS configuration changed from LAZY to ATSTARTUP) should do the trick

from Npp import notepad, MENUCOMMAND if '-tailmode' in notepad.getCommandLine(): notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.VIEW_MONITORING)

and npp like this notepad++.exe -multiInst -nosession "FULL_PATH_OF_THE_FILE" -z -tailmode

Hi, @craksoft, and All,

You said :

So this long thing (?-s)(?<=\d{4}-\d\d-\d\d)\h+.{8} is 6 number ?

I don’t know what you means, exactly !?

The regex expression (?-s)(?<=\d{4}-\d\d-\d\d)\h+.{8} deletes blanks characters and the next 8 characters, when preceded by a date, with the YYYY-MM-DD format. No more, no less :-)

@Jack-Adrian-Zappa said in Notepad++ losing unsaved documents:

but that means that some update turned it off,

Maybe “some update” was pretty smart, protecting you from features currently in question. :-)

I would think that should be a priority to fix.

There’s been some attempts.

@Hadi-Jam

if you want it to be always on top then start npp with the command line paramter -alwaysOnTop.

@Michael-Vincent said in Need the ability to have fixed-width line number column:

(Scintilla multiedge)

You mentioned “multiedge” briefly above; I agree that this could definitely help the OP. And, it appears a native multiedge capability is coming soon to Notepad++ !

See https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/8107 and :

Hi @guy038

Thank you, your’s is good advise, as well as @Alan-Kilborn’s. As I told him, I only took into consideration the Windows case, ignoring other platforms.

Will try to not forget it.

Best Regards

@chilkoot

Great! It is good to hear that it worked for you.

Best Regards.

I’m not sure why you are opening a separate new thread each time you are replying, but OK, it is good that things are making sense on your end! :-)

@dail

Yes, that makes sense. As I said in my earlier post, the picture looks fine… but not nice.

Hello, Hi, @tư-mã-tần-quảng and All,

I forgot to explain my regex S/R :

SEARCH (?s-i)(\h+<name>.+?)(\h+<id>.+?\R)

REPLACE \2\1

So :

First, the part (?s-i) has already been explained by @alan-kilborn !

Then, the part \h+<name> searches for some horizontal blank characters, followed with the string <name>, with this exact case

Now, the part .+?, due to the s modifier, looks for the shortest non-null range of any char, even EOL ones, till … some blank chars, again, followed with the string <id>, with this exact case

The two parts above are stored as group 1 because of the surrounding parentheses. Note that it, necessarily, ends with EOL chars, as followed with the <id> line !

Then the part \h+<id> matches any horizontal blank chars, followed with the string <id>, with this exact case

Finally, the part .+?\R matches the shortest non-null range of any char till… the next EOL chars, so ending the <id> line

Again, the two parts above are stored as group 2 because of the surrounding parentheses.

Note that the \R syntax stands for any kind of line-break ( \r\n for Windows files, \n for Unix files and \r for Mac files )

In replacement, the \2\1 rewrites, in reverse order, the single-line group 2 ( line <id> ) and the multi-lines group 1

Best Regards,

guy038

@khk-khk Thanx to all - I’ll try

@Alan-Kilborn said in How to opt out of OAuth App but continue to have access to the NPP forum?:

Just a bit more, here…

Thanks for the clarification: that was probably wise to add the extra information.

@guy038

in case of overlapping matches

Well, I meant non-overlapping matches of course. Often while marking data it is simpler to come up with 3 or 4 successive marking operations on different data in order to capture everything you want; coming up with one regex, while perhaps an interesting exercise, would likely be distracting from your at-hand task.

Suddenly the light bulb went off…
Click Plugins > Compare > Settings
and then experiment with the colors to find a background color you like for mismatched lines.

Fixed in the following commit:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/a09c0a17dbdb4bb9a414a4a6fedf761987a80032

Thank you for your help!

@PeterJones Thanks for the repro work! I had a strong suspicion that the location of <LanguageAutoComplete> is hardwired (why would it not have been included in <UserLocations> if there wasn’t some reason - presumably technical - for it?)

Frankly, I consider it a Security issue to have user configurable files in %ProgramFiles(x86)% (I’m not alone in this regard!). Now on my machine Controlled Folder Access is enabled and I’m not sure how that interacts with UAC folder virtualisation (VirtualStore) for x86 apps and I’m not about to find out by experimentation. I’ll give it a few days then log a (security) bug.

@PeterJones It is not always convenient like this. Perhaps today I am lucky, to meet you. I am using google to translate. And my question was brief, so Google did a good job. Once again very thank you for this

@guy038 tanxs you so much for your explanation and for modification to your reg-ex!
now it works very well!
I never said I had an example like yours, but maybe it’s my fault that I didn’t explain myself well …
everything is working fine now. always thanks for your regex!
cheers
