FWIW, JsonTools v8.3.1.3 (see instructions for downloading an unreleased version) now has a function that would allow JsonTools to solve this problem without knowing the full structure of the JSON document.

recurse_until(@, and(@.Value > 100, @.Name == Intensity))[:].Value = 1.0 will convert all the Value instances greater than 100 where the Name was Intensity to 1.0.

For example, in {"foo": [{"Value": 101, "Name": "Intensity"}, {"Name": "Blah", "Value": 200}], "bar": {"Name": "Intensity", "Value": 60}}, running this query would return {"foo": [{"Value": 1.0, "Name": "Intensity"}, {"Name": "Blah", "Value": 200}], "bar": {"Name": "Intensity", "Value": 60}}

I should note that the recurse_until method is very slow compared to other JsonTools functions because it can potentially throw and catch an exception for every node in a document, so I do not endorse this approach for very large documents.

If you need to quickly navigate to the tags of an HTML document while ignoring whitespace, maybe a tree view would help. From a quick trip to Google, it seems like XMLNavigator might be a reasonable option, although it hasn’t been updated in a few years. I haven’t used it myself, but if it seems interesting to me I may try to fork and update it.

@guy038 ,
Sure am glad I didn’t suggest a dBASE Plus solution for this problem and end up in that list. <g,d,r>

@PeterJones Thanks, I’ll look into that.

@Phat-Huynh-0

In the future, please read this FAQ and use literal blocks of text wrapped in ``` to show your text rather than pasting images.

It is not clear what you want to remove at the end of the line, but if you want to remove everything before CUSTOMER REFERENCE NUMBER: on lines with that text, you can use Search->Replace... to open the find/replace form, check Wrap Around, set Search Mode to Regular expressions, set Find what: to (?-si).*(?=CUSTOMER REFERENCE NUMBER:), leave Replace With: empty, and hit the Replace All button.

Here is the standard documentation for regex in Notepad++.

Hopefully someone else does.

Yes. But yours is such an oddball problem, I have doubts.

Are you using any unusual plugin?
Can you post your Debug Info here?
See Notepad++'s ? menu for how to obtain that.

@juyoung9653 said in How can I specify the priority of styles in stylers.xml?:

in substyle1, it gets overwritten by DEF NAME.

Presume that by “substyle1” you mean “USER KEYWORDS 1” ?
Otherwise, be clearer, because I see no “substyle1” anywhere.

It seems to be working for me, in N++ 8.7.5:

I think I’d notice if it were using the “DEF NAME”, as that is a radically different color:

All my tabs in the app, where the filenames are shown, are much wider now.

Hmm, I somehow can’t believe that someone would complain about wide tabs, and yet fail to notice the “pin” icon on the tabs.

so I was assuming it was a purposeful change

It was.

And I’ll mention I almost gave up before working around this “new user” UI. This is not a “complaint” proper that I would instead put in the complaint area (round bin).

This UI was not intuitive to a person with a CS BS and decades of experience. And you allow zero other ways to get help.

All I kept seeing was “you need to type at least 7 characters” but the title had plenty of characters. I didn’t realize the area on the left had a cursor (was under the pretty dialog message on Firefox). I thought it was a queue management interface. That after I posted something it’d appear there until it was approved, and go through various states (waiting, approved, etc).

These seem to be complaints against the forum software, not Notepad++.
The forum software is just something used by the Notepad++ authors, not developed by them, so if you don’t like it, go complain somewhere else about it (the software used is NodeBB).

potentially semi-transparent

Yea, this has long been a feature of N++'s Find window, but it’s not a great solution IMO for how huge the Find window is.

@mpheath Your are a legend! Thanks. It works. :-)
Unfortunately, my reputation is too low. That’s why I’m not allowed to give your post a positive vote.

@Robert-Or-Janet-Diebel said in Adding more steps to an existing Macro:

Are comments allowed in shortcuts.xml?

You can do this:

<Action type="1" message="2172" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="I am a comment!!!!!!!!" />

@Scott-Sumner So you mean just change the name?

@PeterJones Yes, the paths were accurate. I have Notepad++ installed on a secondary drive with %APPDATA% path turned off - if you recall that install option. I tried installing on the default drive/path to no avail. I have added the PATH in my Environment settings to the dll’s and app just in case as well.

I wish there was a way to compare registries just for Notepadd++ with you. I’m glad it works for you, hopefully another method will present itself here. Thank you.

Don’t use editor.getText with binary files. Notepad++ treats the file’s text as a NUL-terminated string for the purposes of that command, and most other text-retrieving commands. Apparently there are some ways for a plugin to get around this, but they are undoubtedly much more arcane.

Have I ever mentioned how irritated I am that Don Ho refuses to implement a system for warning people that NPP is an inappropriate app for working with binary files?

@afk-afk ,

The closest command line option is -n# to take you to a specific line. If you pick a number that’s more than the number of lines (like -n999999), then it will scroll to the end.

@PeterJones @Terry-R
i opened notepad++ to do some coding for my website and tyo get the rest of the debug info and suddenly my notepad++ decided to work properly and have all the missing things appear i haven’t done anything. so sorry for wasting everybody’s time

@Alan-Kilborn said in [8.7.1] File doesn't open expected file in list:

In this case, even though files are being closed, they aren’t saved in the “recent files” list. There must be something in the code that prevents this from happening during closure via shutdown.
