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

Control shot

At least it appears he is properly attired, with the helmet, for said “control shot”.

not seeing the ones I created.

Well, running a Windows application through a translation layer like WINE or similar on Linux will add a layer of obfuscation, so it’s going to be harder for us to guess where your translation layer put things. It might help if you said whether you use WINE or something different; then someone else who has direct experience with that setup might be able to be more explicit in their help.

What I do know is that in Windows, there are two normal locations for shortcuts.xml: for a normal install, it goes in %AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml, and in a portable (“zip” or “7z”, “local conf mode”) edition, it just goes in the same directory as notepad++.exe. I would assume your translation layer would rename %AppData%\Notepad++ to something else more linuxy, but I don’t know what.

If you look at Notepad++'s ? menu, at the Debug Info entry, you can Copy debug info into clipboard and paste it here; that would tell us whether Notepad++ thinks you are in standard-install or local-conf-mode, and might give more hints as to where it’s stored.

@Mr-Brunes

I certainly wasn’t intending on doing an exhaustive comparison of N++ and M$-Word for this feature. LOL

I guess it falls into the category of “just how it works” in N++. TBH I never thought too much about it, just got used to how it is. :)

@Mr-Brunes

Some plugins are developed before there is time for the core developers to put it in the app itself. At that point, developers shrug and say, “why bother?”

@Ricky-Shaw

select the words and if you haven’t reconfigured default shortcuts then press ALT+U,
otherwise goto menu edit->convert case to->proper case

Thanks Peter, that is doing what I needed.

I just hope that these two regex S/R work nice, too, on your VERY BIG unordered ASN data list ;-))

Delighted to confirm that your hack (the first one) delivered a proper sort of the large listing (AS7552).

If you’re curious my kit took some 48sec compared to the inconsistent ‘results’ provided by 7.7.1 in (what would’ve normally have been) about a second.

Thank you @guy038 for providing that workaround to the native code’s flawed 7.7.1 …for which I await a fix.

@Ekopalypse Yes it is, I didn’t see it.

@FFatih-SH

So then in the Find in Files tab of the Find window, you would locate a checkbox for “subfolders” and tick it. Then you would specify C:\Users\LG\Desktop\Folder1\ as the “directory”…

When you get it all set up, you press the Replace in Files button…

@Jose-Manuel-Vela-García

hmmm … maybe some browser issue but if you search for ada you should get it as the first found item. Anyways here the direct link to the ada demo plugin/template.

@Claudia-Svenson

You can record a macro for the replacement operation. See the Macro menu – fairly self-explanatory. The macro snapshot happens when one of the buttons is pressed (e.g. Replace, Replace All, etc).

@guy038
you are a great teacher, thank you very much

Thanks Peter. I can only guess I created an account a long time ago using email address and password (although I have no recollection, including of any username), but obviously I cannot access it any more, now that login is only via FB/GitHub etc.

I’m more than happy to keep my current account @Giulio.Portioli, anyway. It’s any old account that should be deleted. I’ll try the website contacts, if no-one pipes in.

Cheers.

@PeterJones I can make a shorter post)))

Perfect.
Updating program.
Problem solved.
Thank you.

Another approach is to use my AutoEolFormat plugin, available via PluginManager (up to Notepad++ v7.5.9) and PluginsAdmin (Notepad++ v7.6 and higher).

Install the plugin. Configure it to automatically set EOL format for XML files to Unix style (LF). Open all XML files to convert (EOL format will be converted automatically). Click on Save all.

To save RAM maybe do not open all XML files at once, open maybe 40 or 50 (depends on the size of the files).
