Sorry, not for me.

Sorry, don’t know what you mean.

@Claudia-Svenson This seems to be exactly I want.

Hey did you follow up and create the feature request? Or did you find any workaround?

Debug Info! Debug info is what I needed! It was installed for some reason in program files/npp/ …
Why here… ) But well, the main thing is that I finally found where the launch came from and now I know how to search. Thanks!

Thanks!! Two years too late! - I have struggled with this for the past years - I just hadnt seen your answer… Thanks Again!!

@PeterJones This is perfect – thank you so much for your help!

@PeterJones Much appreciated

A few links for better understanding or future reference in the event or of a dev wanting to take a chance.

@Michael-Vincent Thanks!

@Luis-Piña-III said in I want to fold in text files.:

How do I set an extension for TXT?

Once you’ve saved your UDL, when you look at the Language > User Defined Language > Define your language… dialog box and have that language selected, you get a Ext: box, where you can type txt to define that *.txt will be interpreted as your UDL. (You can see this box in my screenshot in my first reply, above.)

@mike69290 said in [SOLVED] Extract the last number of each line:

Omg found it! I was looking in the menus.

It’s also in the menus: Search > Copy Styled Text > Find Mark Style

Moreover the button is not translated in my language.

You might want to check to see if you’ve just got an outdated translation file. Often, config files don’t get overwritten when you do an update. I recommend that you try downloading the most recent zipped edition, and grab the most recent copy of your localization file from there.

But when I searched the localization files for v8.6.4 portable, it appears that only 39 of the 92 localization files have <Item id="1725"… so yes, there is a good chance that string (and many others) haven’t made it into your specific localization. Notepad++ relies on volunteers to submit translations, and some of the translations aren’t as active as others. (While the author of Notepad++ knows at least 3 languages fluently (as far as I can tell), I’m sure he doesn’t know all 92 of the localization languages , so cannot keep them up to date without outside help).

@HydraheadHunter said in More than eight keyword lists for User Defined Language?:

Currently it only highlights words when I make an edit to the config file

This is a kind of “live preview function” that makes it easier for users to see whether a particular regex is doing what it is supposed to do. It also gives hints if a regex is wrong or if there are overlaps with the actual lexer.
As soon as you save and close the ini file, the regex rule is also applied to the configured buffers. If you think something is not working as expected, feel free to report a bug here.

Gotcha. Thanks so much, that will really help.

@Mark-Olson,
Thank you so much, you saved me from many hours of work.
Much Appreciated.

@Entropiemaximun said in Unwanted multiple confirmations for replace in all files:

so i can do an arduino fake keyboard to do it

If that works for you, then I suppose you can.

@Blind-SQuirreL ,

Yep, my experiments show the behavior. You have found yet another bug in UDL. Too bad there have been no bug fixes or feature improvements in UDL in years, so even if you made an official bug report, I doubt anything would ever happen with it. (There are other longstanding UDL bugs dealing with comments and folds. FOr example, if you have one or more single-line comments at the beginning of the file, any folding that happens afterward might be off-by-one-or-more-lines from where it should be.)

As a workaround, I suggest not using the multi-line comment definition if you want to fold that section of text; instead, use Folding in Code Style 1 if you can – or Style 2 if you’ve already used Style 1 (and are able to have newlines or spaces before and after your { and } indicators ).

@Alan-Kilborn said in Scroll and search through keyword lines by alphabetical order?:

^\w-$

I intended it to be ^\w+-$ but the + got lost somehow. :-(

This regex will capture all scientific notation numbers, and can also handle leading + signs and number with leading decimal points:
([+-]?(?:\d+(?:\.\d*)?|\.\d+)(?:[eE][+-]?\d+)?)

Seriously, everyone should just write that down somewhere so they can look it up in times of need.

@LanceMarchetti said in Unicode 'ÿ' , problem converting to Hex 'FF':

int val = static_cast<unsigned char>(selText.getChar(i));

I’m afraid this type cast will corrupt data if any character ordinal is greater than 0xFF, e.g. ġ. See, for example:

Fix character truncation bug that lead to ‘ġ’ styled as an operator since its low 8 bits are equal to ‘!’

selText.getChar already returns an int, which is 32-bits wide, so more than enough for any ASCII or Unicode ordinal.

The real issue is the declaration of SelectedString::_str as char *, which limits every representable “byte” to a maximum ordinal value of 0x7F. It should be the generic TCHAR * type, which becomes wchar_t * when the _UNICODE compile-time definition is set (as it always has been ever since Notepad++ became a Unicode application about 17 years ago). A wchar_t is 16 bits, which would accommodate “extended” 8-bit ASCII as well as the East Asian double-byte character sets that remain popular with some users.

@No-Nope said in Replacing many occurences of different text blocks:

npp-user-manual page on regular-expressions, but I only found references to the tabs in the seearch/replace dialogue.

Interesting. Yes, there are 68 matches, and the ones near the top of the Searching page are all about which tab of the Find/Replace/Mark dialog you are on – but that’s because the user interface for searching is what’s described first in the Searching page.

But as soon as you go into the actual Regular Expression section of that page, it’s the third match (the other two being “table” and “comfortable”), and it’s a line that literally uses the word “tab” four times.

I’d make it easier to find if I could, but I don’t see any way to better help people find the regular expression syntax for the tab character than to put it in the section on regular expressions and use both “tab” and “character” in the description. I’m sorry that wasn’t enough for you to find it.

@PeterJones OK, thanks, I could manage the rest.

@Mark-Olson thank you, sir for explaining. I would be lying if I say I understand. But I promise to go through it carefully and try to learn. Thank you for your time and detailed description.
