    @guy038 said in Join lines from clipboard data:

    it seems better to always use raw strings. I mean… when using regexes, of course

    I would say this is true.

    Probably most normal Pythoners don’t use a lot of backslashes in their strings, so the simple "..." syntax works fine.

    And you certainly can use "..." with regex as well, but just remember to “double up” every backslash if you do. (But that can make your regexes a nightmare to look at).

    @Patrick-Danilevici ,

    I don’t think it’s doable with just the User Defined Language lexer.

    However, if you are willing to install the PythonScript plugin, you can add extra highlighting to a User Defined Language (UDL) using regexes via the script EnhanceAnyLexer.py that @Ekopalypse shares in his github repo . So you could define the regex \w+:\w+ (you might need to do boundary assertions around it) and assign a unique color to that.

    The script is self-documenting, but if you need help installing PythonScript or figuring out how to make it all work, feel free to ask.

    @Clyde-Parker said in Replace text inside double quotes:

    Thanks for your help, i was actually looking for the regex to replace text inside quotes but i can’t do every single word working with huge files

    Yeah, you’re still not giving us enough to go on. The regex ".*?" will match text inside a quote, or ^".*?" will match only text inside a quote that begins a line, or (?<^").*?(?=") will match the text inside the quotes at the start of a line, without matching the quote marks themselves. But there is no easy way to make a map of word->replacement in the REPLACE portion of the regex.

    if you’ve got a list of 5-10 words that you HAVE, and the associated words that you WANT to convert them to, then it’s not too difficult to produce a regex that will do it. But if you’ve got hundreds or thousands of words that you want to map from one to another, you won’t be able to do it in a single manual regex.

    That said, our resident regex gurus have some tricks up their sleeves. So if you said you were able to put the list of HAVE => WANT words at the end of the file, and weren’t picky about the format for that list, someone might be able to chime in with a way to get that to miraculously transform it.

    Personally, while I find such solutions academically interesting the first time I see them, they have their limitations (if the main text file gets too long, the magic regex cannot extend all the way from the real text to the mapping at the bottom).

    Really, if I were doing this, once it got to this stage of a huge list of replacement maps, I would just write a command-line script to do it in my favorite programming language; but that’s off-topic here.

    But if I were going to solve this “inside” Notepad++, I would pull out a plugin like PythonScript: open the text to be edited in the “main” editor view and a separate file that would have the HAVE => WANT pairs in some easy-to-parse format (like HAVE => WANT or HAVE,WANT or HAVE [tab] WANT) and write some python code which would process the mapping file view line-by-line, then run the search-and-replace on the main editor view, and loop through all the changes you want to make. I’m actually pretty sure someone has shown such code in the forum before – maybe even me. But searching the forum for “PythonScript map” or some such will produce a lot of results that you’d have to wade through to find – and you might have to try variations, because everyone phrases it differently.

    Again, I highly recommend reading the advice I gave above, and trying to add enough information that someone could meaningfully give a detailed solution, rather than just my high-level “if you’re lucky, it might be doable with fancy regex, but we cannot know until you give us more detail; or it could also be done through scripting, but how exactly that will look might depend on what your data is really like, and what format your list of replacements is in”.

    I assume this is an issue with the lexer and not the theme.
    Which lexer, aka the language like html, c++, perl …, and which theme are you using?

    I said in Change Font size:

    it’s either Ctrl+/ or Ctrl+\ on the numeric keypad

    I was unzooming today, and suddenly remembered making this comment; so I checked, and confirmed I hadn’t yet clarified that. Sorry.

    So for clarify for future readers, hold down the Ctrl key and then press the / from the numeric keypad (the keypad doesn’t have a \, so that’s not possible). Notepad++ shows that shortcut as Ctrl+Num / to make it clear that it’s the / on the numeric keypad (and I think that’s a fairly standard nomenclature).

    You have installed a forked version from the Windows Store which is NOT the official one. As far as I know, the store does not allow
    to have plugins loaded and other restrictions like the one you posted.
    If you want to use npp without these restrictions, download it from the official site here.

    @Mitchell-Ha ,

    Sorry. I could not reproduce it. It works for me.

    ----

    Why such a short reply? Because you didn’t tell us enough to be able to reproduce your problem, or because I tried what you described and got the results I expected. If you give us more information, we might be able to help more. Especially important are the ? menu’s Debug Info contents, a thorough description of the steps necessary to reproduce your problem, example text highlighted using the </> button or Markdown syntax, and possibly a screenshot of the problem (if you think it will help clarify the problem; use Windows’ Snip & Sketch or Alt+PrtScrn to capture the image, and Ctrl+V to paste it in your post).

    Hey guys!

    It was all good with the first script. I made a mistake by myself. You didn’t misunderstand what I was looking for. English is anyway not my native language so its more likely that I couldn’t explain it correctly. :)

    You really helped me and I can proceed with my orchestral template script!

    Thanks again.

    @Gergely-Apró ,

    The answers you have received are good.

    If you would like more documentation on this, the official Notepad++ docs talk about the substitution expressions here.

    Notepad++ uses what’s known as the “Boost engine” (currently v1.70) for handling the regular expressions, and that has its substitution documentation here

    @Justin-Gaughan said in Auto indent:

    and it’s not auto indenting

    It would maybe help if you said something about your expectation for auto-indenting, if @PeterJones 's explanation does not satisfy.

    Perhaps it would help if you would fully show the text behind your Preferences window? As from what I can see of it, EVERYTHING is underlined and that is not right.

    Links should be enabled by default, without you having to change any settings.

    Does this also happen if you are using npp without plugins installed? Can be tested by using the -noPlugin command line switch.
