Only changes by the instance which get closed last will be saved.

Oh, yea. Knew that. Another reason to dislike M.I. :-)

@Alan-Kilborn

I’m not sure what the code is you’re showing.

It’s cythonized python code :)
Basically this
editor.callbackSync(self.on_updateui, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.UPDATEUI])
is equivalent to

cdef void beNotified(SCNotification *notifyCode): global notification if notifyCode.nmhdr.code == SCN_UPDATEUI: mark_spaces()

With pythonscript on_updateui would handle the notifcation and
here it is mark_spaces.

mark_spces uses SendMessage method to do the communication with
scintilla to show and proof that this message can be used to some
certain of degree, so this can’t be the only reason. I assume it has to do
with locking/releasing GIL and threads but I’m not going to dig deeper
as I’m working on a replacement for PS - so from my point of view it doesn’t make sense to spent time on it. :)

@mzeshle I solved the issue after looking at the error the Python Script plug-in console was showing. So to solve it, you can download the x64 from https://github.com/emmetio/npp/issues/19#issuecomment-383800041 then making sure to:

Install the python script plug-in Copy everything (python scripts) in the Emmet folder except the .dll to the scripts folder of Python Script plug-in. Make sure to go to Settings>Shortcut Mapper to change the default Emmet shortcut something other than ctrl-alt-enter because this has conflict with another NPP shortcut

It worked! thank you all guys!

Sounds like a case of wanting too much. Multiple instances are fully independent and (future instances – where this would have to be detected) have no real (reasonable) way of knowing what files another instance has open.

@Tazhar0001 said in Find and replace a variable item:

Peter, is it possible to send you a private message of the .XML file I have? My knowledge in doing such a task is, minimal to say the least.

There are no PM on this, and I don’t advertise my email address here (avoiding spambot harvesting).

The [example data](https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/50274 you showed near the start of this thread does work with the script I provided (well, I guess my previous post was missing the first line needed):

from Npp import * def add_1(m): return (m.group(1)) + str(int(m.group(2)) + 1) + (m.group(3)) editor.rereplace('(lootmax=")([0-9]+)(")', add_1);

Even with data like:

lootmax="2" lootmax="4" lootmax="6" lootmax="1" lootmax="5" lootmax="9" <tag other="x" lootmax="2" /> <tag other="y" lootmax="4" /> <tag other="z" lootmax="6" /> <other>blah</interferes> <tag other="p" lootmax="1" /> <tag other="d" lootmax="5" /> <tag other="z" lootmax="9" />

all the lootmax="#" get one added properly.

If you need help with PythonScript

Install PythonScript (if you don’t already have it): Plugins > Plugins Admin, check the box on ☐ PythonScript, and click Install; restart Notepad++ as needed Plugins > PythonScript > New script, named lootmax.py Paste the contents of the script from this post. Save. Set Notepad++'s active file to your file with the lootmax values. Run **Plugins > Python Script > Scripts > lootmax`; the replacement should occur.

@PeterJones said in How to remove all lines before a string value including the line with a string:

(?s).(?-s)^Content-Type: message/rfc822.\R{2}

I had just tried with rfc822 and it did not work, but I have tried again with the string you gave me and it works. I really appreciate your help!

Hi, @michael-vincent, @peterjones and All,

As you suggested, @michael-vincent, I removed the space char between the # symbol and the string LANGUAGE_NAME. But, after saving and restarting N++, the pseudo abbreviation tags #LANGUAGE_NAME=.... still appear in dialog, when choosing the Plugins > QucikText > Options... !?

Luckily, it does not interfere with the abbreviation tags management of the last version 0.1.2.4 of the QuickText plugin, which remains correct ;-))

Cheers,

guy038

P.S. :

Actually, I just did an additional test, changing any line #LANGUAGE_NAME=.... into lines LANGUAGE_NAME=.... and, this time, these lines are not displayed in the Options dialog ;-))

This situation could also result from the use of the EditorConfig plugin, depending upon how it is configured with the .editorconfig files. Just sayin.

Thanks a lot for your advice!

Great stuff guys. It works like a charm! Thank you! :-)

Thank you, andrecool-68,

Works great.

Hello guy038,

That option does it very good as well, thank you. Thanks Alan.

Since HexEditor hadn’t been officially updated since 2009, @chcg has made an unofficial 64-bit port of HexEditor available at https://github.com/chcg/NPP_HexEdit/releases, with a couple of bugfix releases. The most recent x64 zipfile is the one you’ll want.

For a normal Notepad++ installation, unzip HexEditor.dll into c:\Program Files\Notepad++\Plugins\HexEditor\HexEditor.dll, then reload Notepad++.

@PeterJones Thank you! You helped me a lot with this.

@mahesh-ageer

You didn’t say anything about lines that already had some amount of spaces at their ends. Try to be complete with your problem description.

I might be inclined to do that all in one step by searching for \x20*$ and replacing that with a single space.

Hi all, I found solution!
1.Add 10 spaces at end of each lines in file X.REN by command $
2.Copy rectangular selection 10 x number of lines in file X.REN
3.Mark rectangular selection 10 x number of lines on target file in requested position and paste it.

@PeterJones said in Mass replace inside file at once:

merge them manually in shortcuts.xml

For you, yes, but for a casual Notepad++ user, maybe not.
I was just pointing out that a bit of serious concentration when recording macros will go a long way in helping out. :-)

Glad to hear that it works! You don’t owe me anything. Just pay it forward to someone else when the time comes :)
