No, duels are stupid. No need to be forced by someone. As I said, it’s a question of honour.

@intel4004u

the easiest solution would be to define your own language and define, for example, the comment to have the same fore- and background color. Of course this means, that
your hints must always start with the defined comment char.

@Ekopalypse
Yes, that’s me, alright. (FleetCommand was already taken on GitHub.) Once my Process Explorer experiment succeeded, it was quite obvious that what I needed was a bug report, not tech support. Unfortunately, I cannot delete my posts here after 180 seconds.

So, yeah, it is one the cases when one posts a message and wish he or she didn’t.

@Vasile-Caraus

I’m working, from time to time, with bookmarks as well but didn’t recognize such problem. But it seems you can replicate it constantly, so, do you mind sharing what
you are exactly doing to see if this can be replicated on other environments as well?
Is this happening only with 11 and more files or does it happen with less files as well?
And post your debug-info, which can be found in the ? menu (last menu item).

EXCELLENT! It worked without a hitch. Thank you so much for your help, it is greatly appreciated!
You can not imagine the pain your solution relieved.

Update: Not an issue with different versions of Notepad++, not an issue with different operating systems, only some unwanted modification by Outlook and/or group policies, confirmed, solved, thank you @dail

WOW, I never expected this and really appreciate your help!

This is the solution of course!

100ms break inbetween was too less to see this popup.

Thanks a lot!

If anybody has a similar problem, I found a different workaround.
Instead of sending each keystroke after another its also possible to load the string into the clipboard and paste it in one piece.
Looks like this:

::contact ::
clipboard = [Contact]tNAMEtCOMPANYtPOSITIONtPHONEtMAILtCOMMENTStr
Send, ^v
return

Got it. Thanks. On to crunch my last few years of data.

Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated. I would have never gotten anywhere close to this.

@Leo-Martinsson-Lindström

if I understand correctly and emotes stands for emojis then you have to select
a font which is capable to show such emojis. Settings->Style configurator…

@Spiralo-Idioide

Only functions defined by ‘to’ are recognized.

:-) That’s no wonder as it isn’t included yet. Therefore my statement
The open part is how a class and its methods are defined. Is not part of your sample code. :-)

The function are listed with the arguments in their name. For example :

Yes, as I don’t know this language and don’t know how you wanted it to be reported
I used <nameExpr expr=".*" /> which returns the whole line. For example, a change to
<nameExpr expr="\w+" /> would return the first word after to.

But don’t hurry to help I won’t be able to answer for two weeks.

No problem. Just respond when you are back to this thread and we can go on.
As said, I need the class and its method definitions as an example.

@Alan-Kilborn
Thanks. This works perfectly for my needs.

@guy038
Thanks for the suggestion and the props.

Sir, O.K.

Thanks @Ekopalypse Appreciate your help. You saved me a lot of time and headache.

thank u its working

Glad to help.

i have same problem with another data

Then try a similar solution. Instead of searching for things inside of <cd>...</cd>, you’re looking for things that come after a prefix like "count": or "amount":. Even if you know nothing about regular expressions, you should be able to look at the regular expression I had defined before and have an attempt at it… it might not work right away, but you need to at least try. I’ll give you two more hints, because it’s buried a few links down in the regex documentation: the .* implies “any number of characters” in the regex, so you might want to use that when searching for any number of characters after your prefix. And the (?i-s) at the start of the regex is just making some settings to make it case insensitive, and to make sure that .* doesn’t wrap across lines. So using those two free gifts, you should be able to add in the permanent text that will look for one of your prefixes followed by any number of characters.

Note that based on your response – where you ignored the advice about how to format a post so that we can read the data, and to avoid getting real quotes translated into smart quotes; and a post where you ignore my advice of “many of us will expect you to show what data you have (exactly), what data you want (exactly), what regex you already tried (to show that you’re showing effort)” – it’s appearing like you want us to do your work and research for you, rather than learning; at this point, it seems you are treating this forum like a free-consultancy board, rather than a forum to help you learn how to use the tool yourself. Please correct that mis-understanding of this forum, or you’ll quickly grow disappointed.

Your first post got a free complete answer. For this one, I’m going to make you show effort (and I hope the other forum members do as well) before I give you any more complete answers. Before giving you any more explicit help, I will expect you to show that you’ve at least read the entirety of my first post – you can show this by re-posting your data, properly formatted; and by showing us what regex you tried (ie, a modified version of my original regex, showing that you’re looking for a prefix, followed by the rest of the line), what you think that regex should do, and show how your data didn’t change the way you expected when you ran your regex. This was all advice to you in the first post, which you apparently ignored. However, If you show even that much effort in your next reply – even if you haven’t availed yourself of reading the regex FAQ that was linked, and some of the pages linked in the FAQ – I’ll be willing to give more help.

Yes, thats the same. Havent seen that npp is on github. Thanks for that information.

@JBird1977 Have you tried using delimiter 1 style for “strings” and delimiter 2 style for ‘strings’?

For me, this turned out to be a firewall issue. We block certain outbound services that are not business necessary. Some plugins install fine, but Compare did not until I made an exception for my workstation. github comes up as “Hacking/software downloads”. So something else to check if you are baffled why Compare won’t install and have tried all of the excellent advice in this post.

Now yesssss, thank you very much!!! andrecool-68

Hi Joey,

Thanks for your kind words ! You said :

Is there any way I can make it up to you?

Thanks, but I don’t need anything !! I’m just pleased that the last regexes are the good ones for your specific file !

This is the main point, indeed ! Regexes are very, very, very sensitive to text layout. So, once I’ve built up some regex for an OP, based on his provided examples, the OP should not add, delete or modify anything of the original text, in the meanwhile, as, probably, the regex will not work anymore ;-))

As far as possible, anyone, asking for regex solutions, should consider all cases of text layouts, of the original file to modify ;-))

It’s generally, not so obvious, and, in my personal work, I simply create successive versions of the regex to get a final version which handles all reasonable cases !

I say reasonable ( and not possible ) because, sometimes, we can’t think about all the possibilities and, anyway, this could lead to an huge and useless regex ;-))

Best Regards
