@guy038 said in Find 'Not Found' Matches in list:

I think that the regex, below, should work properly !

I think you have the wrong interpretation of the question.

I see it like the numbers from 0000 to 1999 exist except say 0002 and 0007. OP wants whichever is the first missing number.
Let’s say it is 0007.

I think this can only be solved by a programming language such as pythonscript.

Terry

PS actually it has to be 0002 if testing in numerical order. OP needs to expand on detail.

@guy038 this video mentions how to install javascript in Notepad++: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YXWasF8Zuc&t=225 - then if we create and save a file and run the same regular expression (RegEx) that I have typed right at the top of this thread in javascript with the “var” variables, we can do the replacement as needed.

@byzod

This issue mentions about the unfolding that can happen with numerous lexers.

https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/12121

I posted a LuaScript script in a comment in that thread that trades the behavior for another behavior by changing the editor.AutomaticFold setting temporarily in the 2nd script. Certain characters will set the automatic folding off which changes the header fold lines to become invisible sections and back again once continue editing. It is not a solution but rather a swap of side-effects to help to keep the current fold state.

I have little knowledge of AutoHotkey syntax and it’s UDL issues so at the moment cannot offer an updated LuaScript script for calling editor.AutomaticFold.

The objective-c lexer seems unaffected with /* multi-line comments and not sure why yet compared to looking at the lexers source code. Obviously the styling continues on past the folding though why it does not open the folds seems like possibly the folding is delayed in some lexers and so like the LuaScript script does is to cause a delay though that is just a theory at the moment.

@PeterJones yes that was it!
So indeed it was an easy one - you’d think I would have figured that out. Haha
Thank you for pointing me to the setting!

@PeterJones, thank you so much!

@Alex-Yuan-CA

In case you are trying to do any other possible text manipulation, searching, highlighting, etc, etc, or anything you can possibly think of doing to your text, please consult the Notepad++ online user manual, because your answer is probably found there.

@Annie-Chuang ,

In addition to @Alan-Kilborn’s request, you can also go to ?-menu’s Debug Info, and paste that here.

Please also tell us the full path of the filename where you put the XML file – was it c:\users\___\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\functionList\XyzPdq.xml or c:\Program Files\Notepad++\functionList\XyzPdq.xml or somewhere else?

I referred to many documents

Unfortunately, you don’t tell us which ones, so we cannot know whether they were telling you the right thing, or not.

Here are some reasonable documents to consult:

User Manual: Function List = https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/function-list/#how-to-customize-function-list User Manual: Function List Config Files = https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#function-list Including instructions on how to upgrade from a v7.9-or-earlier FunctionList (from before November 2020) to one that works with modern Notepad++ = https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#upgrading-old-function-list-entries Community Forum FAQ: Function List Basics = https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/19480/faq-function-list-basics

re-created the XML file and put it into FunctionList Folder

As per the User Manual, there are two files that need to be edited to add the FunctionList – you need to have the XML specific to your language, and you need to edit the functionList\overrideMap.xml – if you didn’t do the latter, then just creating the XML isn’t enough.

Also, you have to make sure it’s named correctly, and that you’ve got your User Defined Language (UDL) already set up and working, too.

@Coises

Maybe I just didn’t understand the meaning behind it.

So that’s right. :-)

It looks like I don’t need to do this kind of work that would benefit from a cloned view, or not often enough. In the cases where I need to jump to different places, I use bookmarks, but I understand that you’d rather have the other area in the second view if you need to do that repeatedly.

As for notifications, I’d have to look in my notes, which I don’t have access to at the moment, but from what I remember it was about both npp and scintilla notifications. I suspect this will be one of the issues that will be addressed when everything else is working and the plugin is officially released.

Hi guys, just wanted to thank you all for this post!

I love shortcuts and just today learned of a way to do it in NP++ thanks to @Alan-Kilborn :)

Hello, @collingsjj, @peterjones, @alan-kilborn and All,

@collingsjj, if you don’t mind to study a simple plain text, just send me, by e-mail,

An example of your code containing the ESC sequences and similar codes. If possible, a text between 20 and 100 lines !

A snapshot of your corresponding code on your terminal

I’ll try to find out a regex search which could delete ALL these codes

For example, as a first approach, the following regex :

FIND (?-i)\x1b\[\d*(;\d+)?m

REPLACE Leave EMPTY

Would modify this INPUT text, taken from your GitHub issue #16437 :

 | Cannot find path 'E:\SharedData\jDownloader\cfg\downloadList4838991.zip' because it does not exist. Get-ItemProperty: P:\Backup\BackupScripts\ArchiveAttributeUpdate.ps1:3 Line |  3 |  . es -ea SilentlyContinue -value ((Get-ItemProperty $_.fullname).Attrib .  | 

Into this clean OUTPUT text :

| Cannot find path 'E:\SharedData\jDownloader\cfg\downloadList4838991.zip' because it does not exist. Get-ItemProperty: P:\Backup\BackupScripts\ArchiveAttributeUpdate.ps1:3 Line | 3 | . es -ea SilentlyContinue -value ((Get-ItemProperty $_.fullname).Attrib . |

My temporary e-mail address is :

Best Regards,

@PeterJones said:

if the line is long enough, Search Results can split the results on a single line into multiple entries in the Search Results panel

Can we quantify “long enough”?
Is this behavior worth documenting in the user manual?

Note that the above discussion presumes this setting is checkmarked:
2ed6b732-e13b-4d33-901f-700fb46d2f83-image.png

If it is uncheckmarked, then each match for sure gets its own line in Search results regardless of length of line.

Update from the far future: SAS was officially enabled in Notepad++ in v8.7.8, so you no longer need to use a script to enable SAS highlighting.

I wanted to add the Stata lexer at the same time I did SAS, but without a GitHub issue requesting it, I couldn’t justify it. If someone can create a GitHub Issue requesting Notepad++ enable the Stata lexer, I could add it to my TODO list, since I now have experience enabling those missing/hidden lexers in Notepad++. You can use https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/16148 as an example of an issue requesting a language be enabled – but I would ask that you include keyword lists: The Stata lexer has 2 keyword lists – one for normal keywords, one for data types – so if the Issue/request could include those two lists of keywords, it would make it much easier for someone who knows nothing about Stata to do the addition (since I wouldn’t have to go googling to try to figure out keywords and try to determine which should be called “normal keywords” and which as “types”). If you do create an Issue, please also paste a link here, because I don’t see all new Issues in the repo.

@David-MS said in Notepad++ v8.7.1 (32-bit) NppShell.dll is intermittently crashing Windows Explorer.:

Does exists a workaround

If you mean by this a workaround to not have to completely uninstall the N++ for preventing the Explorer crashes, then yes - unregistering of the NppShell context-menu handler helps: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/99261

or a fix?

I could not exactly reproduce the issue myself but found some potential problematic places in the NppShell source code and put a “hardening” of that code to my TODO. Unfortunately not enough free time yet. More info and possible future progress in the GitHub issue.

@kapenike maybe double-check the Language that you are editing the default style of; the one for Global Styles applies to plain text, and the Bold box in the Style Configurator seems to work for each language I’ve tried on my Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VM.

@Jschoerner ,

Sorry, I don’t see anything out of the ordinary. Hopefully, someone else will be able to come in and provide some guidance, because I don’t know what could cause such a glitch.

@PeterJones Thanks!!

@jadelise

FTW! - Many thanks for providing the solution (the nice simple hack the user asked for) - tested on 24H2.

Now I can (finally, after years!) right click on and edit .cmd files. What a relief not to be nagged to install an new version of notepad (even though I have explicitly removed the UWP instance of notepad from the user’s profile. (next – looking for a way to do that globally for the machine. I thought I did so quite a while ago with win10 and “mail and calendar”, but I could very well be mistaken.)
