@Michael-Vincent I’ve tried all of those. As far as I’m concerned, N++ is better than them. I like it because of the aethectics and various features it provides.

I began using Bookmarks in my browser as a backup about a year ago, but would never use that as my primary source.

@Troglo37 said in How Do I Keep Multiple Tabs Saved in Notepad++?:

so I decided to break them up into categories by using the tabs for each category to make them easier to navigate through.
So now you know why my understanding and knowledge of how N++ works is very limited.

… and now you know that each tab is a different file. And if you want to properly save that file, you have to give it a name and make sure you know where it’s saving each file (so that you can find those files again later, or using a different application some day in the future)

I just checked and they’re all saved as individual files. Oh BTW, periodically I copy my N++ to an external drive as a backup in case my PC crashes.

Just an FYI a good place to learn regex and test your code is regex101.com

… which is linked to in the Regular Expression FAQ that we have repeatedly asked Ramanand to read.

@Robin-Cruise Thank you. I already did the needful!

@Vir-Singh

I would use the shortcut CTRL+PageUp/PageDown to switch tabs when recording a macro.

SEARCH: (")(.*?;)(.*?)\s+
REPLACE BY: \1\r

OR

SEARCH: (")(.*?;)(.*?)\s+
REPLACE BY: \1\r\t\t\t\t\t

Here is the fix: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/9945
I hope it will be in N++8 RC4

@henvu50 said in How to get indent folding in plain text or user defined language?:

I just discovered a new software called Sublime Text.

One thing you forgot to mention in your rave review of Sublime Text is that, unlike Notepad++, it is not zero-cost software.
You are bound to purchase it if you want to use it.

The spell check works without any problems as well.

Notepad++ doesn’t have a spell check, so comparing it with Sublime Text on this point is apples and oranges.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks man

@Terry-R said in How to make dspellcheck work when language is set to python?:

See this post.

That bit of text might very well result in an issue being logged against Notepad++, despite your follow-on wording. Not the end of the world, but, not appropriate, either.

@PeterJones Think I have found the culprit. Stardock WindowBlinds. If I disable that, the issue disappears.

@Terry-R said in how add specific character in the end of the line after one empty line:

I note that you typed (space), I’m assuming there is an actual space (blank) character there, not the word inside ().

As I said, I wasn’t certain of your statement so I went with my first solution. If the line you want to add ==== to was the ONLY line starting with a character that’s not the space (\x20) then the following should also work.
Find What:(?-s)^[^\x20].+
Replace With:$0====

Terry

Thank you so much brother. This is works very well.

@Don-Diegue said in Can I edit this file in Notepad++?:

You say it’s possible to edit such file with a binary editor. Can you recommend one?

No, and that’s because as has been mentioned already ( @PeterJones ) there will be a specific format to the data within the file. Changing lengths, or possible delimiters without knowing the exact format contained within will very likely lead to a corrupt file. Having said that again as @PeterJones said, the text portions might be editable without corrupting the file.

But I would strongly suggest you do not edit this file with anything other than the “owning” application, which you say is Story LANGuage.

@Bart-Terryn said in How to set the default view:

As far as I know the -nosession setting should only prevent Notepad++ from reopening the files that you had last open.
But apparently it does more than just this.
Do you think I should open up a ticket for this?

Download the portable v8.0-RC2 and see if it behaves the same in the newest version. If it does, then I’d say it’s at least worth reporting. If you put in a new issue, make sure to include the Debug Info for both v7.9.5 and v8.0-RC2 and say it happens in both, so that they know it’s not just a regression in v8.0.

Found a workaround/solution myownself; I DLed the ENTIRE LibreOffice/Dictionary repo as a zip, extracted the folder /en from it, and copied ALL the files in that into the C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\config\Hunspell\ directory, overwriting what was there. Reload NPP, now works. Musta missed the file(s) that told NPP/DSpell how to use the .aff/.dic files.

@PeterJones Thank you very much, it worked like a charm!

@Bpy72876175 said in How to delete lines with missing characters in certain positions:

More of a business guy here not a coder, but I used that and just changed the character position as needed to Bookmark those lines

But you seem to already know your way around Notepad++ pretty well, if you were able to “bookmark” matching lines and delete them.

For others that might not be so savvy, here’s how it could have been done:

Use the Mark All command on the Mark tab of the Find window to get lines with a “blank” in the appropriate column to appear in red and have a “blue ball” symbol to their left – the blue ball is the bookmarking symbol:

Imgur

Right click on a bookmarking symbol (actually anywhere in the column of the blue balls is fine) and a menu will appear, from which you may then choose Remove Bookmarked Lines:

Imgur

After executing that the bookmarked lines (and the blue balls) are gone.

@Robin-Cruise said in Regex: Replace html links framed by html comments:

Maybe someone will need this solution

Let’s please not post solutions to random things not requested by anyone.
There could be an infinite amount of such things.

Thanks Terry, that did the trick!

@PeterJones It worked for the files in my folder. Thanks!
@guy038 I thank you also. You are terrific - the Regex Guru as some are calling you!
@Alan-Kilborn I searched online and could not find a solution which is why I asked here. Please don’t get irritated. Thanks!

Much simple solution:

Search: (<p class="text_obisnuit2"><em>)(.+)</em>(.+)<em>(.+)(</em></p>)
Replace: \1\2\3\4\5
