Eliminate the virus you can download the most recent notepad++ from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/ to be able to install a clean copy your old settings were likely in %AppData%\Notepad++, so should still be visible (if you’re installing again on the same machine after it’s been thoroughly disinfected), or you can copy from the old machine to the new (assuming you are switching to a new machine; make sure your virus scanner has declared that whole directory “clean” before doing so) your old plugins were likely in the same directory as your notepad++ executable; if any are missing from your new installation, I would suggest re-installing them from scratch using the Plugin Manager, rather than copying them from the old installation, in case a DLL was infected and not fully cleaned your old files (what I assume you mean by “data”) – whether it be source code, or data files, or scratchpads, or whatever – are wherever you had saved them. Assuming they weren’t encrypted by a ransomware virus, or otherwise infected, you should just be able to find them wherever they were. If they were encrypted by ransomware, let’s hope you had a backup. (Backups are really your responsibility: there are features to help in Notepad++ “backup” preferences, but keeping and maintaining a safe backup set are beyond the scope of just notepad++.)

If this doesn’t answer your question, you will have to give more specifics, especially with how it relates to Notepad++, other than Notepad++ being what you happened to use to edit the text files.

This sort of begs the question: Why is the on/off control for this handled in such an odd way?
Why not have it be a View menu entry, just like Function List et al.?

Makes it rather awkward for scripting languages to have to have functions to support this handling. Ugh. Well, anyway, if someone wants the Pythonscript equivalent, here goes:

notepad.showDocSwitcher(not notepad.isDocSwitcherShown())

Not a difficult port! :-)

@George-karithanam

You say

I want to copy only the heading of the search result

But then in your

The result will be

section you show the heading AND the “details under”.

I think you’d better clarify your request before anyone attempts to help you.

Maybe there’s a hint here:

it find matching result from the sub folders as well

If you are merely trying to exclude subfolder results, you should untick the In all sub-folders checkbox before you do a Find in Files.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up figuring it out after talking to a co-worker that uses XML Spy. I put the XML and .xsd files in the same folder and it validated. We then found the issue with the file.

You might try changing the toggle of Settings > Preferences > Default Directory > Use new style dialog

first check .matches newline in order to work

SEARCH: (<title>(.*?)<\/title>.*?)(<meta property="og:title" content=").*?(" \/>)

REPLACE WITH: \1\3\2\4

Sweet, works perfectly :)

Hi, @rugabunda, @scott-sumner, @dinkumoil and All,

Ah, many thanks, Dinkumoil, for your optimization advices !

Of course, having 17,000 messages “impossible to open File-B.txt” is rather idiot ! I did not realize this, as working on my tiny File_A.txt :-(

Thus, appending 17,000 times, a line to File_C.txt is not very efficient, too, as you said !

Finally :

If you previously chose some basic filenames, without spaces, this syntax should be enough : (for /f "delims=" %L in (File_A.txt) do @(findstr /x /c:"%L" File_B.txt 1>NUL 2>NUL || echo %L)) > File_C.txt If your filenames may be long, with some space characters, the @dinkumoil solution, with the usebackq option and filenames surrounded by double quotes, is safer !

Cheers,

guy038

I see no sanity in a feature request that would bring back the 7.4.2 behavior. It seems like this behavior is just “asking for trouble”.

thanks, too, this problem arose…

@Polski-Keps

See here.

I wouldn’t attempt to do this with an editor. I would use a scripting language. For example, in AWK:

BEGIN { Text="http://www...offset=" Offset = 20 for (i = 1; i <= 2000; i++) { printf("%s%d\n", Text, Offset) Offset += 20 } exit }
