    @PeterJones Very good instructions!

    The sessions recreated the problem.

    I edited the xml and it now works fine.

    Great direction, thanks!

    Thanks guys.

    Yes, this is my first time using regular expressions and it’s going to take me some time to understand it.

    This will get me started though.

    Thanks

    @Dan-McGovern ,

    As far as I know, you cannot call plugin features from the command line.

    However, I seem to remember some earlier discussion about the topic… search, search. There it is: on April 18, @Ekopalypse described a way to provide user parameters to a plugin. He shows an example of using PythonScript to parse the Notepad++ command-line options. Once you know the user parameter was set on the command line in PythonScript, you can use its capabilities to call features of the Compare plugin (or any other plugin).

    Hi @David-Swarthout, All:

    Let me suggest you to take a look at AHK’s Editors forum, where you can find some resources as UDLs, Syntax Highlight, a tool to run a script or a selection directly from Notepad++ —can’t live without it—, another one to expand parameters for AHK’s functions, commands and directives, and more.

    Have fun!

    @[username redacted] said in Why is it that some regex match is not replaced one by one?:

    I wonder if I could open the document and remember the last scroll position so next time I reopen it, it straight nagivgates to where it was.

    You may find THIS to be of interest on that topic. There’s a Pythonscript there that supposedly solves this “problem”. I haven’t tried the script out yet, so I can’t fully endorse it. It’s on my evergrowing “TODO” list. :-)

    @Alan-Kilborn THANK YOU. “Follow current document” is working much better. I can now have many document open and they will always suggest the same save directory that I’ve been using.

    I guess I was just confused by 3 save directory options. Some how the other two options seemed more like the behavior above; and to me the words “follow the current document” seems to indicate that each document would be separated to it’s own manually-selected save folder.

    Some how the words of those settings have me seeing them as the opposite of what they really do.

    Why the manually set single directory option (option 3) doesn’t work? I don’t know - but problem solved as far as I’m concerned.

    A small script for the jN plugin that will do this.
    It will also add a menu “scripts jN” -> “convertText”
    https://github.com/sieukrem/jn-npp-plugin

    var scriptsMenu_jN = Editor.addMenu("scripts jN"); function convertText() { //debugger; var vStep = 0; var vText = '', vTextLine = ''; var vLines = Editor.currentView.lines; for(var i = 0; i< vLines.count; i++, vStep++) { vTextLine = vLines.get(i).text; if (vTextLine.charCodeAt(vTextLine.length-1) == 10) vTextLine = vTextLine.substring(0, vTextLine.length-1); // kill \n if(vStep < 4) { vText = vText + vTextLine; } else { vText = vText + "\n" + vTextLine; vStep = 0; } } Editor.currentView.text = vText; } scriptsMenu_jN.addItem({ text:"convertText", cmd:convertText });

    Yes, I’ve done this in the past too but when you update NotePad++, then the install won’t overwrite existing themes and you might have to merge changes to your theme if the release also updated the theme.

    @Terry-R said in Delete certain amount of characters of e-mail address:

    Bear in mind some of the characters are metacharacters and will need escaping by using the \ before the character.

    For more info on which characters need escaping within a character class (denoted by the [ and ]) read:
    https://www.regular-expressions.info/charclass.html
    specifically the paragraph titled
    “Metacharacters Inside Character Classes”

    @mallikarjuna-navuluri said in replace values with incrementing by1:

    example i want to replace first line with 5000001, secondline with 5000001
    third line with 5000003…10k line will be 5010000.

    There is a menu option in Notepad++ to insert into a set position on each line a number. This number (or text) can be static or if a number can be incremented by another number, in your case 1.

    So look at the Edit Menu, then Column Editor. Use the “Number to Insert” option and start with the first number you want and have the increment as 1. Since the start and end numbers in your post are the same length you don’t need to include leading zeros.

    If you have the cursor in the very first position of your file and start this column editor function every line in the file will have a number at the start of the line. You may want to use the “insert text” first so you have a space between the numbers but not necessary as the number you are inserting is one set length.

    Then you’d cut that number and insert it further along in the line.

    Again, I’ll repeat my request. You need to supply more examples and use the black box surrounding the examples to prevent any characters being altered by the posting engine. So perhaps 3-4 lines gathered together and perhaps another 3-4 further along in the file showing a latter part of it so we get a good idea of what the original data looks like.
