Hi @upperking,

Oupppss ! I should have read your post more carefully ! We must take the leading numbers in account ;-))

So, change the Find and Replace zones, as below :

SEARCH (?-is)^\d+\x20(76\.247\.131\.161:\d+).+

REPLACE \1

Notes :

Beware : if the IP address is not exactly the address 76.247.131.161, nothing is then replaced

The part ^\d+\x20 represents any number, beginning a line and followed with a space character

The dot meta character . is escaped with the \ to be considered as a literal

The group 1 is the string 76.247.131.161 followed with a colon, followed with the port number, which is rewritten, during the replacement phase

Cheers,

Hi, all,

As the (?...:....) regex structure, of the Boost regex library is not so common, you may feel a bit lost about the replacement regex syntax !

So, here is, below, the algorithmic translation of the replacement regex, of my previous post :

If group 13 exists # Case hour = '12' then If group 17 exists # String 'AM' or 'am', after the digits then Write the string '00' else Rewrite the group 1 contents # Actually, the hour '12' else If group 17 exists # String 'AM' or 'am', after the digits then Rewrite the group 1 contents # The 'hour' digits, so the values '01' or '02' or ...... '11' else # The 'hour' digits, when followed with the string 'PM' or 'pm' If group 2 exists then write the string '13' # Case hour = '01' If group 3 exists then write the string '14' # Case hour = '02' If group 4 exists then write the string '15' # Case hour = '03' If group 5 exists then write the string '16' # Case hour = '04' If group 6 exists then write the string '17' # Case hour = '05' If group 7 exists then write the string '18' # Case hour = '06' If group 8 exists then write the string '19' # Case hour = '07' If group 9 exists then write the string '20' # Case hour = '08' If group 10 exists then write the string '21' # Case hour = '09' If group 11 exists then write the string '22' # Case hour = '10' If group 12 exists then write the string '23' # Case hour = '11' endif endif Write the string ':' Rewrite the group 14 # Minutes digits Write the string ':' Rewrite the group 15 # Seconds digits if group 16 exits # Milleseconds digits then write the string ':' write the group 16 contents # Milleseconds digits endif

welcome to the notepad++ community, @Donald-Cook

i don’t experience this on notepad++ 7.6.6 with dspellckeck 1.4.11.0 installed from the built in plugins > plugins admin menu.

it might also be, that another plugin could cause dspellcheck to crash.

what notepad++ version and dspellcheck version do you have installed ?

ps: my debug info from the notepad++ menu: ? > debug info... > copy debug info into clipboard is:

Hello, @hced and All,

Welcome to the Notepad++ Community !

Very simply, indeed !

Open the Lua console ( Plugins > LuaScript > Show Console

Inside the bottom line, type the command :

editor.VScrollBar = false with that exact case

Either, hit the Enter key or click on the Run button

Here we are !

Best Regards,

guy038

Hi Alan and thank you for your reply!

“Are you talking about being able to move between the Find tab, the Replace tab, the Find-in-Files tab, and the Mark tab…with a keyboard combination?”

That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Too bad this isn’t possible.

Thank you anyway!

Selected HTML from the language menu which has not worked.
Selected CSS from the language menu which has worked. Success!
I was cutting & pasting code from Dreamweaver CS6.
Thank you for solving my problem people

welcome to the notepad++ community, @John-Dy-Chee-Puat

the -ro argument only works, if a file is not yet opened in a previous session.
the session has a higher priority and the read only setting of a session overrides the -ro switch.

if you want to open specific multiple files as read only, you can use the command line:
notepad++.exe -ro -nosession change.log license.txt.
note: this will disable session snapshot and periodic backup at the preferences, to try to avoid overwriting the previous session.xml.

recommended: if you usually open more or less the same bunch of files as read only, you can open those files, set them as read only, and save this as a session at file > save session for future use.
loading a saved session will set the saved read only status to the session’s state, regardless if the file is already opened in an opposite state.

best regards.

@bisdavid If all that is done is to “automatically highlight any such characters whenever I open”, aren’t you still going to have to “search”…because what if said characters aren’t in the current viewable area; you won’t know if a file contains any “bad” characters or not?

@Installer

splendid, at least you’ve got it working with the /D switch.

there must be still a residue either at the registry installer information, or file based left overs, maybe on D:\Notepad++, but it shouldn’t be any problem, if you don’t have the time to keep on searching, as the next update or silent install will use the new installer path, unless you uninstall notepad++ first.

best regards.

welcome to the notepad++ community, @מוטי-דר.

unfortunately rtl languages, especially mixed rtl text in ltr view, are still a big problem for the scintilla editor component notepad++ is using.

we can not do anything about that at the notepad++ part, as scintilla is a completely independent project.

if you like, you can browse scintilla feature requests and bugs here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/
https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/

many thanks and best regards.

@Ekopalypse : Yes, this was the solution, Now the Workspace windows is pop up again.
Many many thanks Ekopalypse.

@Ekopalypse said:

how should a program know this beforehand

I’m not following this thread super-closely because in my now 3 decades of software development, the coding standard has been to never allow the use of actual tab characters in source files. But I would think it should replicate the indentation exactly of the line-above, but let the user then edit that and leave it the way the user changes it…but I am too dumb about it to continue talking… :)

Thank you very much!

@WestJc

The NewDocDefaultSettings is an XML node in <Npp-install-dir>\config.model.xml respectively %APPDATA%\Notepad++\config.xml but it’s for configuring EOL format, character encoding and default (programming) language for new files, thus it is not suitable for what you want to achieve.

But you could try the NewFileBrowser plugin. It provides the ability to define templates for two programming languages which can be assigned to a keyboard shortcut.

Note: The plugin is only available as 32 bit version. You can install it via PluginManager (up to Notepad++ v7.5.9) or via PluginsAdmin (Notepad++ v7.6 and above).

@EdoCarbone

No, UDL isn’t good in this case. Depending on your exact needs you might get reasonable results by using marking feature or by using a scripting plugin like pythonscript, luascript etc…
