Hi Scott, thanks for your answer, but unfortunately this does not help, because the lines are very long and to be able to fully see them I need to have automatic line break enabled. The translated german lines are even longer than the english ones. So a line in english that is wrapped into 3 lines sometimes goes to 4 lines in the german version. So the more I scroll down, the more difference I have. For example when I scoll the german version down to line 1200, the other text is still at line 950. What I need is to have the same line in both texts side by side.

A possible solution might look like this.

hello Nabodita

can you paste here some word that you have to undrstand

Your method will mostly work as long as you’ve got Settings > Preferences > Backup correctly enabled, and you have a short enough backup time. If you want to make sure it’s got enough time to register the changes in the file, add a sleep($time) before the check, where $time matches your NPP backup interval.

I would probably add a test for existence of the backup file, not just it being listed in session.xml. (I just ran an experiment, and a minute after my most recent save, when the backup file was gone, session.xml still listed the backup file). I would also use -M to check the modified-time of both the original and the backup, since I found outdated “backups” in my backup directory that were months out of date (probably remained open after a reboot or crash).

Also, if you find that the file hasn’t been saved yet, you could also use Win32::OLE or Win32::GuiTest to force NPP to save the file, if you wanted, instead of just pestering yourself with a message box. But that’s up to you.

PS: Perl is not an acronym: “Perl” is the language, “perl” is the executable/interpreter, “PERL” is a backronym.

Plugins - LuaScript - Edit Startup Script.

I checked and on my machine your example file hang Notepad++. But when I started cut your file to smaller one then I figured out that operation just take some “huge” time to convert EOL. On my machine conversion of 16000 lines took about 5 seconds. So you have about 1 000 000 lines so it will takes much more

I converted this file to UNIX (LF) successfully with other text editor without any “hangs”

It worked, thank you once again lol. :D

@asman2000

it looks like it is also related to the delimiter.
Using your latest example, if I add a space after each “a” it is set correctly.
And if you play with removing this space you see the opening folding sign jumping.

Wikipedia::Alt Code gives some history on the techniques.

It should be noted that the + (and sometimes the numbers) in the ALT-(+3a3) sequence need to be on the numeric keypad.

Oh, right, I’d also forgotten that Registry Key HKCU\Control Panel\Input Method\ value EnableHexNumpad must be set to 1 (create it as a String Value (REG_SZ)). After setting that and rebooting (or at least logging in), the ±sequences for unicode should work.

@Daniel-Fuchs

I managed to find it by dragging.

It was ’ hidden ’ behind the script screen.

But is there also a button / button combination to press; to make it show up?

And how could it just disappear anyway?

Wow the fact that it wasn’t harder kinda annoys me o.0

Thanks @AngryGamer I can stand to use Notepad++ once again :D
