Another one: ñ Will error: xF1

@go2to i don’t have need for ascii drawings. and as for macros, i fill out any additional macros that i need with autohotkey. the combination of np++ and ahk make my personal workflow a breeze.

@go2to You can always take it upon yourself to become the Good Samaratin and write one. ;)

@John-Griswold142 could it be that npp, on startup, has to load a file which is on a server? Than the 30 seconds could indicate an network timeout. Cheers Claudia

@Alain-Marin allo, make sure that notepad++ uses the same font as MS notepad does [image: 6h9GxcW.png] make sure that notepad++ uses spaces/tabs as MS notepad does [image: 7wsAAhA.png] Cheers Claudia

You can download it from the plugin manager. Notepad++ never came with the plugin pre-installed, as far as I remember.

Hi, @jos-maas, Oh yes ! You’re perfectly right. Even, in the example, described in my previous post, we don’t need any alternative ! But, in that case, when a line does not match ( NO group jos ), this line stays unchanged, and we do not need, either, the ELSE part of the conditional replacement ! So, the previous regex S/R, becomes : SEARCH (?-s)(?<jos>^\d+$) REPLACE ?{jos}Rewrite $+{jos}, as Group 'jos' exists And, with the original text : 123 This is a test 4567890 We would get, this time, the text : Rewrite 123, as Group 'jos' exists This is a test Rewrite 4567890, as Group 'jos' exists Note that, in replacement, the outer parentheses are removed, without any problem ! Jos, for further information, about regular expressions concept and syntax, begin with that article, in N++ Wiki : http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Regular_Expressions In addition, you’ll find good documentation, about the Boost C++ Regex library, v1.55.0 ( similar to the PERL Regular Common Expressions, v1.48.0 ), used by Notepad++, since its 6.0 version, at the TWO addresses below : http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/format/boost_format_syntax.html The FIRST link explains the syntax, of regular expressions, in the SEARCH part The SECOND link explains the syntax, of regular expressions, in the REPLACEMENT part You may, also, look for valuable informations, on the sites, below : http://www.regular-expressions.info ( The reference !! ) http://www.rexegg.com http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html Be aware that, as any documentation, it may contain some errors ! Anyway, if you detected one, that’s good news : you’re improving ;-) Cheers, guy038

Do a RegEx search: ^<icon.*$\R. Replace with nothing.

@Mario-Enrique-Martínez-Durán by using a regular express like find what:(\d+)(,)(\d+) replace width: $1\.$3 Means it is looking for any number of digits followed by a comma and again digits To find out more about regular expression I would recommend reading nearly every post by @guy038 and the regex engines details as described here. In addition sites like http://www.rexegg.com/ and https://regex101.com/ are useful too. Cheers Claudia

Thanks!

@Louisa-Rankin you didn’t specify the programming language you use the I assume html. One of the best side explaining html is https://www.w3schools.com/ Your question https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_images.asp Cheers Claudia

The negative line number in the error message suggests that the beginning of the file, or possibly the end, are not correct. Notepad++ will show all of the lines and characters in the file. Try opening a file that is not corrupt in Notepad++ and compare the first few characters against the first few of the corrupt file. It may be useful to set menu => View => Show symbol => Show all characters. Also compare the file encodings as shown on the Notepad++ status line (i.e. at the bottom of the window).

@Claudia-Frank said: just for clarification, you are happy? No further modification needed? Yeah, it looks good enough. Ty.

@Marv-Wagner yes, open file replace dialog, select extended in search mode and use \t for tab char. Cheers Claudia
