@Kendall-DeMott said in Files History:

it forgets the ones used a lot, and retains some of the oddball ones

If you use them “a lot”, wouldn’t they be in the 15 ?

Is there anyway to delete items of of the search history window?

Not on-demand, no.

Or a way to put often used phrases in there like favorites list, etc.

This is kind of a frequently asked for feature.
Sadly, no one has come up with a great idea for implementing it, or perhaps no developer has tackled it.
I think a workaround is to keep a file tab dedicated to such “phrases”.

Notepad ++ and Admin mode keep different search histories, it would be nice if they were synced (same).

That seems like it would be a security breach.

We either have a case of CLICK HERE or if not that a case of CLICK HERE.

@Amsja-Mull said in File too big for notepad++:

I’ve read that notepad++ is capable of handling 2gb

Additional information can be found in some old posts:
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/11803/feature-request-larger-file-sizes-allowed/2

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/18950/file-size-problem-file-is-too-big-to-be-opened-by-notepad/6
notes that having a file type of .txt is likely to allow a larger file to be opened than other file types which are associated with “lexers”.

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/16960/text-limit/16
where it is noted that scintilla (upon which Notepad++ is built) has a hard limit of 2GB. Maybe this is what you thought would allow your 600MB file to work.

However this is more a “theoretical” number that can NEVER be surpassed. However as I stated before the environment Notepad++ is running in and even the file type have a lot to play in how successful you will be in loading such a file.

Good luck

@Sherif-Hemida ,

It was an intentional change in v7.8.7, because find-previous doesn’t work how you think it will with regular expressions enabled. Find previous is still enabled for regular searches.

See the instructions in the official docs for a config file change to make it work with regex, with the caveat that reverse-direction searches with regex sometimes yield unexpected results: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#preferences-for-advanced-users

Thank you, for your answer,

now i have checked a liitle bit more and i found the master.bat start with an mtee splitter.
(http://ritchielawrence.github.io/mtee/)
“test.bat” 2>&1 | mtee_versions\mtee.exe /C “test_bat.log”

Without the splitter notepad++ works as expected.
So i think there changes from microsoft in windows.

@Gabriel-Pelayo

how do you replace it? Can you give us a screenshot from your
replace dialog? In addition, can you post the debug info from the last menu, the ? menu?

Hi @Michael-Charney

Try to select all files in reverse order. For example, if I want to get the files ordered as 1-3, I select first the 3, then the 2 and finally the 1. These will be copied in Notepad++ in order 1-3.

Tested and worked in my Windows 7.

Take care.

Thanks for the answers
It worked by editing %AppData%\Notepad++\ shortcuts.xml and then merging the pieces

I like the test word chosen here.

@Kosmos-Huynh said in Find Duplicate lines by the part of line and keep one of them:

but it does not work in my case

I’m not surprised the regex you showed didn’t work. The example data is just a bit too different and unless you know what each part of the regex does you could well find it doing more damage to your data than good.

As this conversation is 3 years old and your request is different enough can you start a new post? By all means reference back to this if you want but in reality it needs dealing with as a separate conversation.

Also when including sample data please use the </> button (which you will see above the window where you type) around the examples, this prevents any characters typed from being altered by the interpreter in which you type. Please include more examples as what you have is insufficient to help describe the reason why 2 lines should be deleted when all 3 have the same word but all 3 have different numbers following. Describe more fully the requirement a line must have before it can be described as a “duplicate” and therefore deleted along with the line before it.

Terry

Look at Preferences, Language. Then on the right side you can either select according to the file type/programming language type or override and set your own; in this case; 8 char tabs.

@Mark-Brown

You can try here:

There are also some plugins that do sort of this thing:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/analyseplugin/

Cheers.

@Terry-R said in How to I move a line with Specific character:

(?-s)^.+\R#\R?

It worked, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

thanks, I’ll look into that.

@Terry-R said in RegEx: step by step:

I’m not entirely happy with the replacement field, for 2 reasons.

Now that I’ve had a bit more time to look at the question my final regex is:
Find What:\w+
Replace With:\u$0

As the \u will ONLY convert the first character of anything following it to upper case we don’t need to worry that $0 actually contains the entire “word”, not JUST the first character.

@Bill-Rich

Notepad++ doesn’t “render” such things, so I think we have a case of CLICK HERE.

@Alan-Kilborn Yes I mean the Notepad++ developers ;-).
I don’t know whether this is an issue with Notepad++ or with Winzip. If anyone has hints on how to dig deeper in this (e.g. logging), I am willing to help. But I don’t want to build and debug it myself - my C++ knowledge is quite outdated…

The “utf-8” encoding supports Hebrew well))

@Bruno-Martinha said in How to quickly add all the URLs in notepad++ to bookmarks?:

I have more than 500 urls in a notepad

Firstly, welcome to the NPP forum.

Unfortunately your question is VERY short on substance. An example of the type of data would be very helpful. Like are the URLs each on a line, or mixed in with other text. To insert example data it is preferable to use the </> option just above the window you type in. This will then contain the data within a black box and the characters within will not be affected by the interpreter you are typing in.

NPP can “bookmark” a line containing specific text. Then you could use the bookmark feature to copy (or cut) those lines and insert into an empty file to continue work on them.

So if you can provide more information then someone is sure to be able to help.
