  @Javier-Rivas I have been able to achieve my objext using notepad++ although it is quite inelegant. I have a folder with 1000 text files, which I duplicated. I then renamed them with a suffix 000.txt -> 999.txt Each file has a unique first line, with a name and number, and all I did was do a search and replace to add in an extra zero and change the _001 to _0001 It will give me a unique first line, but will be a little more messy when combine with the other folder – but will work for what I am after. Thanks for your help!! Most appreciates. Daja PS I know I’ve done it before, and it’s driving me nuts that I don’t remember how or where I found it…

  @tommick1 Although I also recommend switching to utf8 encoding, there is a plugin called AutoCodepage that I think may be helpful in your case.

  @Chaithra-Gururaj How exactly did you start the process. From what you posted, it looks like there is no space between python and new1.py.

  @minemax said in востоновление файлов: из-за ошибки пришлось переустанавать программу из-за чего у меня удолились все мои блакноты можно ли их как небудь вернуть Полагаю, вы имеете в виду информацию о сеансе. В зависимости от того, как была выполнена предыдущая установка, вы все равно сможете найти ее под %APPDATA%\notepad++\backup. I assume you mean the session information. Depending on how your previous installation was, you may still be able to find it under %APPDATA%\notepad++\backup.

  @Lester-Newman if npp is interupted by windows while working on files , there is nothing much to help . run a file recovery program as soon as possible . next time , make own saves at a different location , make the backups with timestamps (optional) those arent overwritten . there is no secret workingset-file-memory or -file-duplicate in npp. you might find some traces of latest activities in C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\config.xml.

  Hello, @gh-2017, @peterjones, @terry-r and All, @gh-2017 : I tried your batch file with few simplifications and it worked nice ! Thanks for sharing ! Now, here is a more simple version of what you expect to, which uses a tiny executable file, named mtrw.exe ( Instructions in comments ) @echo off REM -------------------------- IMPORTANT ----------------------------------- REM BEFORE executing this BATCH file : REM - DOWNLOAD the "mtr206b.zip" ARCHIVE from http://adoxa.altervista.org/minitrue/dl.php?f=bin REM - EXTRACT the "mtrw.exe" file in the LOCATION of this BATCH file REM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ REM Copy the "session.xml" file as "New.txt", WITHOUT any CONFIRMATION message copy /y session.xml New.txt > NUL REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REM Replace, in the "New.txt" file, the DRIVE letter and the COLON of each ABSOLUTE PATH in ALL "file..." tags with REM the CURRENT DRIVE letter and the COLON ( So, the TWO FIRST characters of the INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT variable %CD% ) REM REM (-x) Search REGEX mode by DEFAULT REM -qn QUIET mode and NO prompting REM -c- SENSIBLE to CASE REM -b- NO BACKUP file REM REM Type "mtrw" and ENTER for a QUICK summary REM Type "mtrw -?" and ENTER to open the HELP file REM Type "mtrw -?:Option and ENTER for HELP on a specific OPTION REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mtrw.exe -qn -c- -b- New.txt [A-Z]: = %CD:~0,2% REM STARTS Notepad++ and opens ALL the files contained in "New.txt", ONLY ! notepad++ -nosession -openSession New.txt Best Regards, guy038

  Hello, @ekopalypse and @guy038 Thank you very much for the quick response. The Solution provided by @guy038 completely solves the problem and now I can write anything in my language. So nice of you @guy038 to provide the solution with other research outputs that will further help us for using it effectively. with regards Ajit

  Searching the disk content of an open file is problematic…because, well, how does N++ do this type of searching? It opens the file into a tab that isn’t shown to the user, for each file searched. Since it can’t easily open two tabs for the same file (hmmm, cloned view does it, though…?), this type of thing isn’t allowed.

  Hello @robin-cruise and All, Why not this S/R : SEARCH (?-s)^\h*<div class="fb-comments" data-href=".+ REPLACE <!-- Facebook Comments $0 --> Notes : This regex would search all contents of any line, beginning with the string <div class="fb-comments" data-href=, possibly predeced with any leading horizontal blank chars, and places this line in comments, with the syntax <!-- Facebook Comments ............... --> Not a very difficult regex : you could have found out this one, by yourself ;-)) Best Regards, guy038

  Hi, @dave-joseph, @peterjones, @alan-kilborn and All, Peter, I confirm your test. In an UTF-8 file, without encoding problems, the option Encoding > Convert to ANSI correctly changes the two UTF-8 bytes of each smart quote, into a one ANSI byte Concerning the second point, I understand : seemingly it’s always better to see the individual bytes of a file with an external hex editor ! Cheers, guy038

  @LaMpiR said in No update available, but update is available?: I want it because I want it Well, that’s fine…for you. But you aren’t the only user that the devs have to consider. If you want the devs to see, they won’t see here; you have to open a feature request, and instructions for so-doing are HERE. BTW, the experienced people here replying try to steer you in a good direction. When we say something like “it is best not to be on the so-called ‘bleeding edge’ with updates” and back it up with some explanatory information, it is to help guide you to make a good decision for yourself so that you don’t have a “bad experience”. Of course you are free to ignore all advice and do what you want–good luck to you, I hope nothing bad ever befalls you.

  @Alan-Kilborn Yes, I discovered that already in the past. Increasing inter-line spacing is also possible with other styles, for example the Brace highlight style.

  @Paul-Hutson , Yes, if you have either of those preference blanks set, then files of that type will always be opened as a session or workspace config XML, and Notepad++ won’t ever let you read/edit the raw data inside. See for reference Footnote 1 in “Sessions, Workspaces, and Projects” from npp-user-manual.org

  @Robin-Cruise said in replace / move numbers from one row to another with regular expression (in parentheses): by the way, on replace, what does it mean ?1(\3#)\2(\3#) (step by step, please) ? It’s fairly “easy”: :-) ?1 controls the rest of it: If capture group #1 was NOT matched, the replacement is “nothing” (aka deletion) If capture group #1 WAS matched, then the replacement consists of: opening parens: ( what was matched with capture group #3 a literal # closing parens: ) what was matched with capture group #2 opening parens: ( what was matched with capture group #3 a literal # closing parens: )

  @Aaron-Mills - I use Windows command prompt’s built in scripting and GNU sed to do what you need. For example, start up command prompt and cd to the top directory of where your HTML files are. Run this command for /r %i in (*.htm) do @echo %~ni You will see a list with the file names for each *.htm files from the current directory on down. Let’s say you want to add a <title>file-name</title> element at the top of the <head> section of each file. for /r %i in (*.htm) do sed -i -r -e "s~(<head>)~\1\n<title>%~ni</title>~" "%i" del sed?????? You asked for the file name. If you also want the file extension included in the title then use %~nxi If you want or need to use the full file path then it gets painful. While the full path is available using %~fi you can’t use it as-is in a regular expression as the path contains \ backslash characters. There are workarounds but that’s getting out of the scope of how to do this given my suggestion does not use Notepad++. The second line with del sed?????? removes the temporary files created by sed’s -i command line option which I used to do in-place editing of all the HTML files.

  Hi everybody Thanks, that was all very interesting. The thing I’ll go for is first of all to get the newest version as I only have 7.8.6 and as @guy038 wrote, I’ll need a newer version for the thing I need. Thanks to all of you, great support here for a notepadd++ newbie :-) Michaela
