@tutoriales-honestos ,

The UDL Collection does have a golang UDL available: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/userDefinedLanguages/blob/master/UDLs/go_byAnthonyStarks.xml

Download the raw XML into %AppData%\Notepad++\userDefineLangs\go_byAnthonyStarks.xml and restart Notepad++, and you will then have UDL-based syntax highlighting for golang on files whose extension are .go

Enjoy.

@PeterJones said in SQL Syntax color code:

I said,

If you start with a new/empty tab in Notepad++, it will default to being plain-text

BTW: if you are editing more SQL than any other type of file, you might want to change your default syntax highlighter: The [Settings] > Preferences > New Document has a Default language pulldown; if you change that to SQL, then every new empty file new # (from a File > New or starting a new instance of Notepad++ with no session) will default to SQL instead of normal text.

I am making new thread.
i need your help regarding this .
i request you to reply me on that thread

@guy038 super answer, thanks

@alan-kilborn ,
It actually let’s you use different regex flavors, (PCRE pre 7.3 and 7.3 plus, ECMAScript, Python, Golang, Java8, and .NET(C#), but the benefit of regex101.com, is that you can interactively see how your regex construction is going to work on the text you supply, either just Search or both Search and Replace. It’s actually educational to see what happens as you experiment with different regex constructions. You have to construct and then execute NPP to see results, and you’re not sure what you did wrong unless there’s a mode in NPP that does the same interactive result. I use it all the time to construct the regex I’ve been building, to be able to quickly see how the regex I’m constructing works on their supplied text. It’s just another tool, and it is recommended as Peter points out in the FAQ, which is where I learned about it. So I can see why someone might want to use that tool, Alan. :)

@manish-thukral ,

You need to make sure you have the right version of the Compare plugin for your version of Notepad++. Check the Plugins Admin for updates on the plugin. (Specifically, if you are at NPP v8.3 or newer, you must use Compare Plugin 2.0.2 or it will not work right.)

This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Notepad++. Please keep posts in the Notepad++ Community related to Notepad++.

Two other examples regarding this generic regex ! In these ones, we’ll even restrict the replacements to each concerned zone before a # character !

Paste the text below in a new tab :

<iden>123456 (START)</iden> <name>Case_1</name> <descrip>This is a (short) text to (easily) see the results (of the modifications)# (12345) test (67890)</descrip> <param>val (250)</param> <iden>123456</iden> <name>Case_2</name> <descrip>And the (obvious) changes occur only in (the) "descrip" tag # Parentheses (Yeaah) OK</descrip> <param>val (500)</param> <iden>123456 (END)</iden> <name>Case_3</name> <descrip>All (the) other tags are (just) untouched #(This is) the end (of the test)</descrip> <param>val (999)</param>

In this first example, of single-line <descrip> tags , two solutions are possible :

Use the complete generic regex (?-si:BSR|(?!\A)\G)(?s-i:(?!ESR).)*?\K(?-si:FR) where ESR = # which leads to the functional S/R :

SEARCH (?-s)(?-i:<descrip>|(?!\A)\G)((?!#).)*?\K(?:\x20\(.+?\))

REPLACE Leave EMPTY

=> This time, in addition to only replace in each <descrip>..........</descrip> zone, NO replacement will occur after the # character of each <descrip> tag !

Use the simplified solution and add a ESR condition at the end of the regex, giving this generic variant (?-s)(?-i:BSR|(?!\A)\G).*?\K(?-i:FR)(?=ESR)

SEARCH (?-s)(?-i:<descrip>|(?!\A)\G).*?\K(?:\x20\(.+?\))(?=.*#)

REPLACE Leave EMPTY

However, this other solution needs that all the <descrip> tags contains a comment zone with a # char

Now, paste this other text below in a new tab :

<val>37--001</val> <text>This-is -a--very---< # Dashes - - - OK/text> <pos>4-1234</pos> <val>37--002</val> <text>-small----#---example</text> <pos>9-0012</pos> <val>37--003</val> <text>-of-a-text- which-</text> <pos>1-9999</pos> <val>37--004</val> <text>need -to-be- modi fied # but - not - there</text> <pos>0-0000</pos>

This second example is a multi-lines replacement, in each <text>.............</text> zone only and also limited to the part before a # char which can be present or not

Of course, we’ll have to use the complete generic regex (?-si:BSR|(?!\A)\G)(?s-i:(?!ESR).)*?\K(?-si:FR) but, instead of a single (?!ESR), we’ll have to use this variant :

(?-si:BSR|(?!\A)\G)(?s-i:(?!ESR_1)(?!ESR_2).)*?\K(?-si:FR)

So, the functional regex S/R becomes :

SEARCH (?-si:<text>|(?!\A)\G)(?s-i:(?!</text>)(?!#).)*?\K-+

REPLACE \x20

=> ONLY IF a sequence of dashes is located in a <text>..........</text> zone and, moreover, before a possible # char, it will be replaced with a single space character

As you can verify, the third multi-lines <text>.............</text> zone does not contain any # char. Thus, all dash characters, of that <Text> tag, are replaced with a single space char !

Remainder :

You must use, at least, the v7.9.1 N++ release, so that the \A assertion is correctly handled

Move to the very beginning of file, before any Find Next sequence or Replace All operation

Do not click on the step-by-step Replace button

@peterjones ,
Thank you for this synopsis. This will take a little while to digest, but at least there is a succinct description we neophytes can come and learn the way you explain things in detail. Thanks again.

@cinetica-constructiva ,

Since you claim you have Notepad++ v8.2 (showing us ?-menu’s Debug Info would give us more to go on), then I can ask: Did you leave the nppLogNulContentCorruptionIssue.xml in the Notepad++ installation folder? If so, did Notepad++ create nppLogNulContentCorruptionIssue.log, either in %AppData%\Notepad++ (or the Notepad++-in-Wine-in-Ubuntu equivalent) or in the Notepad++ installation folder. Despite using it in an unsupported environment, that logfile may contain useful information.

@Paul-Whaley

What does this part of the Find dialog look like for you?:

Seems like you want Normal but you probably have Regular expression set ??

If that’s an announcement of a new OS from Microsoft, I think you missed the mark by almost a couple of decades. And it’s off-topic for a Notepad++ forum.
