    Hardly anyone knows what alternate stream is. I had to Google it. It is no surprise that this does not get high priority.

    Out of curiosity, I maintain an npp version I build for myself with several patches.
    This patch fixes an issue I had were NPP reset permissions for files saved over SAMBA.
    There is a good chance that it will solve your problem as well. You can get the binary from here.

    Hi, Marc and All,

    IMHO, I supposed that your current file contains too much data ! I, very often, verified that complicated regexes totally fail when applied to huge amounts of text with the result that, only, one wrong match of all the file contents, occurs :-((

    May be, try to slice your file in smaller parts ! It could help ?!

    Generally, this problem often occurs when using recursion feature in regexes. But, it’s quite difficult to fully understand the limitations of the Boost regex engine, used in N++ !

    Cheers,

    @Larsen-E-Whipsnade

    Notepad++ doesn’t do anything at all involving the date, so there is no “erroneous NPP display”. If you are talking about the date string that comes from the TextFX plugin, that’s fine but that isn’t a complaint against Notepad++. Actually, I can’t really tell what your complaint is as you don’t provide much in the way of detail.

    Copy the text between the begin and end lines to a temporary edit buffer (i.e., do File (menu) -> New).

    Then do Edit (menu) -> Blank Operations -> Remove Unnecessary Blank and EOL on that.

    Next select all of it and copy it to where you need it as a single line.

    Thank you very much. Changing the name of DSpellCheck.dll is of no avail. Removing DSpellCheck.dll of course works. Best is going to the Plugins menu and disable Automatic Spellcheck, of course. I just hate any “Automatic Features”; everything should come plain vanilla and you ad things as you go along and feel a need to. I was a programmer for just a little while, but I am not stupid. Once I helped a guy with a misterious regex issue here, now you helped me, thanks again.

    P.S: I think this issue occur because of the latest release of both NP++ and CS-Script this didn’t happen in the previous versions of NP++.If I remembered correctly, CS-Script worked just fine with the NP++ plugin manager pre-installed version.

    I don’t believe there is currently a 64-bit version of TextFX.

    Hello, @mohammed-bismillah,

    I rather agree with Peter’s post. To that purpose, read also this valuable article :

    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

    Nevertheless, here is a simple solution for your batch file, below, which should clarify a bit how to proceed !

    @echo off title Game cls :menu echo. echo. echo Start : 1 echo Help : 2 echo Exit : 3 echo. set menu= set /p menu= if %menu%! == ! goto :EOF if %menu% == 1 goto game if %menu% == 2 goto help if %menu% == 3 goto :EOF :help cls echo. echo. echo Hit the CORRECT number and press ENTER. echo. echo. :game echo. echo. echo What is your name? echo. set name= set /p name= echo. echo Hello %name%! echo. echo. echo. :qt1 echo Who was the FIRST president of the USA? echo. echo Pierre Desperau : 1 echo George Washington : 2 echo. set qt= set /p qt= if %qt%! == ! goto qt1 if %qt% == 1 echo Incorrect & goto qt2 if %qt% == 2 echo Correct ! :qt2 echo. echo Who is the LAST president of the USA? echo. echo Donald Trump : 1 echo Guy Thevenot : 2 echo Emmanuel Macron : 3 echo. set qt= set /p qt= if %qt%! == ! goto qt2 if %qt% == 1 echo Correct ! & goto qt3 if %qt% == 2 echo Incorrect & goto qt3 if %qt% == 3 echo Incorrect :qt3 REM And so on ....

    Best Regards

    guy038

    PS :

    if you prefer to quit the batch file, with a simple hit on the ENTER key, on each question, just change each line

    if %qt%! == ! goto qt##

    by the line :

    if %qt%! == ! goto :EOF

    Hello @cell-test, and All,

    I uploaded your test.log file and I got, as expected, a displayable file, like @MapJE71 did !?

    I just noticed that the Properties window of your file it gives a size of 2,264 Bytes. As for me, the size of the uploaded file is 1,501 bytes, only ! It’s an UTF-8 encoding file. where all characters code are under \x{0080}. So number of bytes = number of characters = 1501

    Remainder :

    To get the number of characters, of current file, looks at the length : zone, in the middle of the status bar

    To get the number of bytes, of current file, choose View > Summary… and see the line File length (in byte)

    I created a copy, with the UCS-2 LE BOM encoding ( which is the default Windows Unicode encoding ) and I got a file of 3,004 bytes. This is logical, as, with that encoding, each character is coded with two bytes + the invisible Byte Order Mark, in two bytes, as well => 2 x 1,501 + 2 for BOM = 3,004 bytes !

    Unfortunately, this value is also different from the 2,264 one ! So, like @MapJE71, I’m at a dead end, too ! It could be interesting to open that specific file with an hexadecimal editor, which will give you the exact code point of each character !

    Best Regards,

    guy038

    @Scott-Sumner and they are numbered! Perfect. Which essentially solves my problem.

    I hope! There is one further step. I will have to capture the name of the active tab and give it to NPPEXec.

    But that should be possible through the sci_sendmessage function (will look into that), since this is possible:

    sci_sendmsg SCI_GETSELECTIONSTART
    set local selStart = $(MSG_RESULT)
