@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! Mark

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 :)

Hello, @lionelanh97, @terry-r and All, @terry-r, I don’t think that the look-ahead structure, (?= //) is, even, mandatory ! This regex S/R should be enough : SEARCH (?-si)//Converted.+\K //.+ REPLACE Leave EMPTY As it searches the greatest range of chars .+ between the string //Converted and the string ' //', without the quotes ! Best Regards, guy038

@Alan-Kilborn said in How to open specific files in different folder where root folder might be varied. Open File in Solution is my temporary solution.: It sounds to me like a scripting plugin is needed to solve this problem. Batch file scripting. The plugin-less scripting! :-)

@PeterJones Thanks for the reply!
