That works… thanks a lot!

@papryka1

splendid, thanks for reporting back, you are welcome.

@PeterJones

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your quick answer. The problem is what you say in the first sentence. Of course I called Unit4 and asked them if they change anything. They did not. The new server is installed so I was looking if the problem is on the new server software. Maybe something changed in the notepath files. On the server I did try to change language settings, but this did not solve the problem.

Tomorrow I wil look the procedure of the export file on the server.

Hi there, I’ve just installed Notepad++ last version and it seems to have stolen ou deleted the Microsoft basic version of Notepad.
I know it is located here : C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe
But it doesn’t open anymore since the installation of Notepad++ : Notepad++ opens instead !

Assuming you installed Notepad++ from the normal installer, downloaded from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/, it did not “steal” or “delete” WIndows’ notepad.exe. This can be easily proven by hitting the WindowsKey plus the letter R (Win+R), and typing notepad.exe and clicking OK (or hitting Enter). If running that executable actually launches Notepad++, then you have either gotten your notepad++ from a non-official source, or you have one of the plugins or other setups which intentionally try to hijack notepad.exe with Notepad++. I agree, that’s a bad idea, but some people want it, so others provide solutions.

What likely happened is that when you installed, the installer told windows you wanted to associate .txt files with Notepad++ instead of with notepad.exe (which people often want to do), so when you double-click on a .txt file, Windows launches it with Notepad++ instead of notepad.exe. This is what most people want when they install Notepad++. If you want .txt to default to the Microsoft notepad.exe, then you just right click on a .txt file, and tell Windows to “open with” and “choose another app”; when it does so, click on “Notepad” and then select “always use this app for .txt files”.

Or, if you want .txt to default to Notepad++, but want to open a particular .txt file with notepad.exe, do the “open with”, and select notepad, without telling Windows to “always use this app”

(Note: I have used Win10 terminology and sequences here; Win7 is similar, but sometimes the phrasing is slightly different.)

(There are many other ways to fix this, including using the registry… But editing the registry directly is not a good idea for everyone.)

edit: If you go to the Notepad++ menu ? > Debug Info > Copy debug info into clipboard, and paste that in your reply, you will give us more information, which may enable us to customize our response to your actual situation, rather than just guessing.

edit 2: And sorry, I forgot to welcome you to the Notepad++ Community Forums. I hope we’re able to help you through your issue.

Using portable from desktop could be workaround for me.

splendid, at least this get’s you going for now.
you can move the portable folder anywhere you have r/w rights, if you prefer to hide it from the desktop.

greetings, and we’ll be here if you need anything.

yes.
here are the instructions on how to install the emmet plugin on notepad++ 7.6.4:

first, follow the >>> Guide: How to install the PythonScript plugin on Notepad++ 7.6.3, 7.6.4 and above <<<, to install pythonscript manually.

then download the 32 bit emmet plugin emmet-npp.zip from >>> here <<< and extract it.

important note: the official version of the emmet plugin for notepad++ is only available for 32 bit.
if you have notepad++ 7.6.4. 64 bit and you want to keep it, you could try to use the experimental,
unofficial, user compiled 64 bit version of the emmet plugin from >>> here <<<.

go to the notepad++ 7.6.4 menu plugins > open plugins folder to open your plugins folder, and create a new folder called EmmetNPP.

copy all files and folders from the extracted emmet-npp.zip into the EmmetNPP folder you have created.

note: your Notepad++\plugins\EmmetNPP folder should now contain a file called EmmetNPP.dll and another sub-folder that is also called EmmetNPP.

now restart notepad++ and you will see both the emmet plugin and the python script plugin at your plugins menu.

the official solution to save your settings to a sync folder or remote location is using the cloud option at the preferences.

important note: it’s recommended to use a local drive location only, as a network drive that is offline for just less than one second can lead to session data loss.
this local folder should then be permanently synchronised to your server (e.g. using owncloud, cloud station, dropbox, onedrive, etc).
keep in mind, that without the presence of this folder, notepad++ will not be able to function as expected.

go to settings > preferences > cloud, select set your cloud location path here and browse to the drive and folder you wish to use, as seen at the screenshot below:

the custom cloud folder will now contain the user’s settings, custom context menus and custom shortcuts/run menu entries.

game saves are usually proprietary binary format files, which can not be cheated/edited with notepad++, so the settings mentioned above will not help you.
newer games and all online games also have a tampering mechanism for all saves.

note: if you follow a guide on how to cheat at your specific game, you will find the tools or hex editors you need, mentioned there.

@Ekopalypse

good news: autodetect character encoding is already fixed and available at the upcoming 7.6.5 release.

@Dave-Massa

replace with \($0\)

@jose-matos-carvalho

Assuming, either a syntax error or wrong filename but none are really related to
npp.

@KSI-JHoward

don’t have a samle for c# but here is described what needs to be done and if you use, by any chance, the python script plugin in its latest version, check the samples for ColumnLexer and LogfileLexer - not the EnhancedPythonLexer example as this uses a different technique. Used to, as the name suggest, enhance an existing lexer rather than writing a new lexer.

@amkp-gamy

The html lexer is one of the few, if not the only one, lexers which uses multiple lexers
under the hood. It styles html, js, perl, vbs, python and I assumed it does CSS as well
but obviously this is not the case. At least with the current used scintilla version but
I don’t know if a newer scintilla version would have CSS integrated into html lexer.

Sorry, but I don’t think that there is a way to make two builtin lexers working at the same time. What one could try is to use a technique like described here but to be honest I haven’t much experience in css to understand its basic layout meaning. If you want to discuss this further let me know - will be online gain in about 7-8 hours.

if you don’t need to edit files larger than appx. 320mb, there will be no need to switch to the 64 bit versions of notepad++.
the 32 bit version also has a larger list of available plugins, so if you plan to switch to 64 bit, you should check if all plugins you need are available for 64 bit.

if you do however want to switch to notepad++ 64 bit (max editable file size appx. 2gb) the best practice is to uninstall your 32 bit version completely and make a clean 64 bit install:

make sure you have saved all documents, closed notepad++, and you don’t need any specific settings or customisations you have made at your notepad++ 32 bit.

uninstall your existing notepad++ 32 bit.

open %ProgramFiles(x86)% in windows explorer, and delete the folder Notepad++, if it still exists.

open %AppData% in windows explorer, and delete the folder Notepad++, if it still exists.

open %LocalAppData% in windows explorer, and delete the folder Don_HO_don.h@free.fr, if it exists.

open %ProgramData% in windows explorer, and delete the folder Notepad++, if it exists.

download the npp.7.6.4.Installer.x64.exe from >>> here <<< and install it.

thanks guys, all fixed!
I just renamed the end of the file to *.html

You need to select the desired syntax, and then it will be automatically saved in the desired file extension.

Thanks so much ☺
It works
