@Marek-Šanoba ,

How old is your shortcuts.xml ? The Send Via Outlook was commented out in v7.6.3 in 2019, and those comments were removed completely in v7.9.3 .

That said, you are allowed to have whatever commands you want in your run menu, so you are allowed to keep the ancient outlook /a "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" command if you want it. However, as with any program run from the command line, if it’s not in your PATH, you need to provide a full path to the outlook.exe executable. I have a working Outlook installation on my work laptop, but if I drop to cmd.exe or powershell and try to run Outlook from the command line by just typing outlook.exe, I get the error 'outlook.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. . This is the equivalent command-line message to the ShellExecute ERROR that you quoted.

For my new work laptop, with a clean installation of Outlook, outlook.exe is not in the PATH, so neither the command line nor Notepad++'s Run command can find it. But if I set Notepad++ > Run > Run… to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE" /a "$(FULL_CURRENT_FILE)", it will attach the saved copy of the active file to an email using outlook – please note the quote marks.

So you need to find your path to the outlook executable. (Probably something similar, though I’m guessing you have a sensible 64bit outlook at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE", but that is just a guess)

hey thats so easy
thanks, now I will know from now!

@Alan-Bourke

You are right, that is one of the limitations.
One way around this limitation would be to use the EnhanceAnyLexer plugin, of which I am the author, and define a regex that matches anything within a beginning ' and closing ' character.

@PeterJones said in UDL and hex prefix:
That has cracked it thanks. The ‘e’ issue was because I had

end sub

in Folding style 1 Close, I should have had

‘end sub’

@Hakar-Mahmoud ,

See the “Scenario: My (unsaved) files are missing!” section in the Backup FAQ. Unfortunately, it’s not a miracle cure, but it offers the best advice we have on this subject. I suggest familiarizing yourself with that whole FAQ to not run into this problem again.

There’s the possibility to script a solution to such a problem; for ideas on that, see this related CONCEPT.

@guy038 You reminded me why I didn’t need my python plugin recently! I have been using that edit/insert/date and forgot about it! A lot of cool plugins are now incorporated in notepad, like sort/compare/etc…

@Seth-Bettwizilch said in TypeScript not highlighting syntax outside of default style:

recreate Vibrant Ink to be more faithful and up-to-date

Maybe give it a new fancy name as well, and submit it to the user-defined themes collection, where it will be maintained in the future (by you) and really shine! :-)

My thinking is that the existing Vibrant Ink theme is just going to live on the way it currently is, under Notepad++, so something you improve/augment would benefit from a new name to avoid confusion.

XML Tools v3.1.1.13 is avaiable for download through Notepad++ v8.4.4 Plugins Admin:

If you already have XML Tools installed, it may be listed on the Updates or Installed tab, instead.

Hello, @smart-warriors and All,

If we assume that the strings <a href= and </a> are, both, on one line, only, I suppose that the following regex does the job :

Open the Mark dialog ( Ctrl + M )

SEARCH (?s)<a href=.+?>\K.+?(?=</a>)

Possibly, check the Wrap around option

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click on the Mark All button

Then, click on the Copy Marked Text button

Open a new tab ( Ctrl + N )

Paste the clipboard’s contents ( Ctrl + V )

If all your <a href=.....>........</a> definitions are contained in a single line, you may use the more restrictive regex :

MARK (?-s)<a href=.+?>\K.+?(?=</a>)

Best Regards,

guy038

Hi, @stuart-benson, @terry-r, @alan-kilborn, @peterjones and All,

OK, I see… So, the best option is to use the @terry-r method, as there are several zones [.........] : per line :

Open the Mark dialog ( Ctrl + M )

Uncheck all box options

SEARCH (?-s)(?<=\x5B").*?(?="\x5D)     if you use regular quotes "

OR

SEARCH (?-s)(?<=\x5B“).*?(?=”\x5D)     if you use smart quotes “ and ”

Check the Purge for each search and Wrap around options

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click on the Mark All button

Click on the Copy Marked Text button

Open a new tab ( Ctrl + N )

Paste the clipboard’s contents ( Ctrl + V )

Voila !

You’ll get the expected text :

Hi, team. We’re looking at”,“our rush defense. Today’s session is going to”,“look at our outside alignment, and why that’s important”,“for a rush defense. OK team, what is an”,“outside alignment? The way you come up like”,“in the defensive line? How does it relate”,“to an opposition? Stand up on the far shoulder”,“from where the ball is. Most teams that”,“do a rush defense start on that outside”,“shoulder, why do you reckon? I think it requires”,“a lot of skill from the player”,“catching the ball to know what’s”,“going on that side if the ball is coming this way. So probably that’s why”,“it’s important to step on the far shoulder. Yeah, I like that. it makes that attacker”,“have to use far more skill. OK, men. So let’s just presume”,“I’m the attacker. We’ve got defender”,“1 and defender 2. So who’s your man, here? Who’s your man, Jay?

If your prefer join all these different lines into one line only :

Select all these resulting lines ( Ctrl + A )

Edit > Line Operations > Join Lines ( Ctrl + J )

Cheers,

@jeffvb9 said in Removing all texts prior to a character in a string:

This doesnt seem to be working.
Also we could look for /v and remove everything before and /v if possible.

That’s really just a restatement of the same problem statement from before, which you claim “isn’t working”.

For the Powershell case, there’s a Notepad++ “issue”, see HERE.

@Uwe-Recknagel

As an additional hint, the information found HERE seems directly applicable to an aspect of the problem you are trying to solve.

Hi, @wing-yang, @peterjones, @mapje71 and All,

In the last part of my previous post, I proposed a regex which does not use any conditional statement :

(?x) ^ [^(\r\n]* (?: \( (\d{3}) \) | (?1) - ) (?1) - \d{4}

However, this regex can simply be improved by using the @peterjones’s look-behind structure, instead of the negative class character :

(?x) (?<!\() (?: \( (\d{3}) \) | (?1) - ) (?1) - \d{4}

which allows to get several occurences in a single line, as below :

abc (123)456-7890 def 123-456-7890 ghi

@PeterJones said in How find in selection by key alt? Hello.:

But trying to search across multiple rows in the rectangle

I would think that anything the developers implemented for rectangular selection searching/replacing could have the caveat that each row (the selected part) is independent and you can’t search across rows with it.

And that’s what my replace-all script assumes as well.

IMO, that kind of thing (the possibility to search/replace across rows defined by the rectangular selection), is NOT what has prevented the developers from adding the feature to date.

@Peter-Hellen ,

Are you on the same computer, or different computers? Or did you re-install Notepad++ or update NppCrypt between uses?

I seem to remember that NppCrypt did a major update at some point…

… searching for NppCrypt posts … ahh, there, this post links to a FAQ by the NppCrypt author that might be of use to you.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks - that worked a treat. My problem was not that I couldn’t read but that I thought the two files had to replace others in the zip file I had downloaded and there were no .dll files to replace.
Again, thanks for your help!

@PeterJones the expression worked, i had to check “Reguläre Ausdrücke” instead of “Erweitert”. thanks Jones =)!
