@Alan-Kilborn

That solved the problem. Thank you so much! :)

@Faseeh-Shah

It’s hard to anticipate the larger framework of what you’re doing, in order to know what advice to provide, but with what you’ve given, if I were doing it, I’d think in terms of a “mail merge” (also a shameless plug for my recent script for such a thing).

Let’s consider the technique shown in THIS THREAD for your situation.

I’d prepare a “template” file/tab:

----<LANG>---- Hi guys, a newbie here I have a strings.xml file. Is there a way to replace or translate multi string values to other international language <string name="jewellery"><JEWELLERY></string> <string name="photo_editor"><PHOTO EDITOR></string> <string name="gallery"><GALLERY></string> so basicaly I want to translate <JEWELLERY>, <PHOTO EDITOR> and <GALLERY> from english to any other language of choice. Thanks in advance

and a “data table” file/tab:

<LANG>|<JEWELLERY>|<PHOTO EDITOR>|<GALLERY> English|Jewellery|Photo Editor|Gallery Spanish|Joyas|Editora de fotos|Galería French|Bijoux|éditeur de photos|Galerie

Then I’d run the “mail merge” to obtain:

----English---- Hi guys, a newbie here I have a strings.xml file. Is there a way to replace or translate multi string values to other international language <string name="jewellery">Jewellery</string> <string name="photo_editor">Photo Editor</string> <string name="gallery">Gallery</string> so basicaly I want to translate Jewellery, Photo Editor and Gallery from english to any other language of choice. Thanks in advance ----Spanish---- Hi guys, a newbie here I have a strings.xml file. Is there a way to replace or translate multi string values to other international language <string name="jewellery">Joyas</string> <string name="photo_editor">Editora de fotos</string> <string name="gallery">Galería</string> so basicaly I want to translate Joyas, Editora de fotos and Galería from english to any other language of choice. Thanks in advance ----French---- Hi guys, a newbie here I have a strings.xml file. Is there a way to replace or translate multi string values to other international language <string name="jewellery">Bijoux</string> <string name="photo_editor">éditeur de photos</string> <string name="gallery">Galerie</string> so basicaly I want to translate Bijoux, éditeur de photos and Galerie from english to any other language of choice. Thanks in advance

Then, if I were interested in the representation of the original data in Spanish, for example, I’d find that section in the output, and copy it to a new file/tab or wherever I needed it to be.

If you wanted a semi-automated way of copying the data from the results, you could make a macro of a Mark All operation for regex ^----Spanish----\R\K(?s).*?(?=^----|\z), adding a Copy Marked Text to the macro after the mark. Then copying the data becomes as simple as running a macro (well, one macro per language).

@PeterJones

Yeah, I finally was able to take some time and use the markup tutorial. The </> button was adding extra triple tick marks, then giving the “hint” that its for code; I don’t consider data code…

Not sure who’s comment mentioned my use of REGEX101, but mostly I am using it as a way to break down the components of the REGEX to understand what each piece is doing. Something I tried to do also with my explanation of what I “think” each of my expressions was doing.

Having someone offer a potential solution is awesome and I appreciate anyone that takes the time to help people, but often there is very little of the “why/what” breakdown that leaves me still scratching my head. Your breakdown on what was going where and why is what provided my mental breakthrough to grasp what was being offered.

@TBugReporter and All

I have created a taskdialog module that hopefully,
works with PS2 and PS3 without any side effects.
See the readme for more information on how to use it.
If there is anything unclear or difficulties, do not hesitate to open an issue in the repo.

I just tried editing (adding 3 letters) the CSV file now and it worked OK with Notepad++ version 8.4.9. Initial file size was 9,138,779,797 bytes and after editing 9,138,779,800 bytes. It took about 2 minutes to load and then 2 minutes to save on my NUC 5i5.

Thanks… That worked with no problem.

Terry… Thanks ever so much. It worked perfectly!!!

FYI,

Over this weekend, I spent some time and converted all the remaining UDL1-style UDL config files in the User Defined Languages Collection to equivalent UDL2.1 config files, making sure that all the elements were mapped to the correct UDL2.1 element. I have also added validation to the Collection so that no more old-style UDL definitions will be accepted into the Collection.

So it should work better when people download some of those older UDLs now.

@Terry-R found it. it was the line number margin

@guy038
Thanks a lot your the best I solved my problem with our help, and sorry for my bad description its just about a language issue :D

@denwitham said in User Defined language more folding in code styles:

I have tried editing the xml and adding in …

You cannot just add new structures in the UDL XML definition and hope that Notepad++ would just magically understand what you meant.

how do you do more than two folding code styles and one comment folding style

You can mix multiple fold structures of the same type in the same boxes.

Folding in Code 1 is meant for things that fold that don’t require spaces surrounding it – so the c-style { … } folding would be a primary use case for FiC1.

Folding in Code 2 is meant for things that fold that do require spaces, like words, so that it will fold on “if” but not “gif” or “iffy”. So if / else elsif / endif would be one such set.

6dfc8cc0-2e34-4bd5-aa54-04eb58199010-image.png

Folding in Comments is intended as a way to add a prompt inside a comment that will do folding. for example, =begin and =end as FoldingInComment with comment prefix of #:
ed3deb6b-1b44-4947-b268-cf76aa8a02d3-image.png

With multiple in the same box, like the if and switch constructs, you could technically trick N++ into doing folding on invalid combinations, like if / case / endswitch or switch / else / endif . So it’s imperfect, but N++ UDL isn’t meant as a code validator, and won’t enforce valid syntax.

But since most languages require fully nested, most combinations will fold the way you expect:

You will notice that I earlier had a space between the default and the :, because in FoldingInCode2, spaces are required. If you moved it over to FoldingInCode1, then you wouldn’t need that space:

@vochant

Not sure what that is, but probably no new encoding support will be added to Notepad++ moving forward; the world is unicode, for good or bad.

@Prasanth-Varadharaj said in Replace a word in a line with different words:

Could you please let me know how did you execute the python script?

Usually when I post a script I also post a link to the FAQ entry that discusses how to set up and use a script; unfortunately I neglected to do so this time. Here’s that LINK.

@Peter-Maasakkers

Contrary to the title, this has nothing to do with sorting.

@Craig-Patno said in Notepad++ not opening from Windows Search Results:

This just started happening 2 days ago and I have been running Win11+NP++ for months now.

If you haven’t recently updated Notepad++, it means that either you changed something or Windows 11 changed something. For example, maybe Windows 11 updated, and that update messed something up.

You might want to find a conglomeration of super users of their computer, and ask them “when I double-click a file from Windows Explorer, it properly runs it using the default application, but when I use the Windows 11 search results and run the file from there, it opens the file in notepad.exe instead of the default application”. Make sure you supply them with your full Windows version (don’t just say “Windows 11”) The answer to that question should be the same whether or not your default application is Notepad++.

Hello, @muthuraj-madasamy, @peterjones, @james-johnson, @kriston-renshaw, @alan-kilborn and All,

I did some additional tests and I think that my method, to make visible the Find result panel, is not destructive regarding the other panels, previously opened by the user, in his usual N++ session!

To confirm this assumption :

Close any opened instance of Notepad++

Open your active config.xml with Microsoft notepad.exe

Replace all the section between the line GUIConfig name="DockingManager" ........> and the line </GUIConfig> by the two lines :

<GUIConfig name="DockingManager" leftWidth="200" rightWidth="200" topHeight="200" bottomHeight="200"> </GUIConfig> Restart Notepad++

=> You should not remark any opened panel

Click on the Edit > Clipboard History option

=> The Clipboard History panel is displayed, by default, on the right

Open the License.txt

Select the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE text and hit the Ctrl+ C shortcut

Select the IMPORTANT NOTEPAD++ LICENSE TERMS text and hit the Ctrl+ C shortcut

=> The Clipboard History panel contains these two expressions

Now, drag and dock the Clipboard History panel on the left side of Notepad++

Open any .txt file with several kilobytes

Click on the View > Document Map option

=> The Document Map panel is displayed, by default, on the right

Move to the middle of that file

Then, drag and dock the Document Map panel on the bottom side of Notepad++

Finally, open the Settings > Edit Popup ContextMenu option

=> The contextMenu.xml file is displayed

Click on the View > Function List option

=> The Function List panel is displayed, by default, on the right

Click on the first line <Item id="0"/> of the contextMenu.xml file

=> The corresponding line is highlighted in the Function List panel

Exit Notepad++ Restart Notepad++

=> You should see, as expected, the three panels Clipboard History, Document Map and Function List at their previous position

In the Document Map and Function List panels, you’ll be able to find, again, the previous displayed text by selecting the appropriate tab

However, note that, now, the Clipboard History panel contains only the last text copied ( IMPORTANT NOTEPAD++ LICENSE TERMS ). This is the normal behaviour !

Close again Notepad++

Open your active config.xml with Microsoft notepad.exe

Replace all this section :

<GUIConfig name="DockingManager" leftWidth="200" rightWidth="200" topHeight="200" bottomHeight="200"> <PluginDlg pluginName="Notepad++::InternalFunction" id="42052" curr="0" prev="-1" isVisible="yes" /> <PluginDlg pluginName="Notepad++::InternalFunction" id="44084" curr="1" prev="-1" isVisible="yes" /> <PluginDlg pluginName="Notepad++::InternalFunction" id="44080" curr="3" prev="-1" isVisible="yes" /> <ActiveTabs cont="0" activeTab="0" /> <ActiveTabs cont="1" activeTab="0" /> <ActiveTabs cont="2" activeTab="-1" /> <ActiveTabs cont="3" activeTab="0" /> </GUIConfig>

With that one :

<GUIConfig name="DockingManager" leftWidth="200" rightWidth="200" topHeight="200" bottomHeight="200"> </GUIConfig>

Save the modifications of config.xml

Restart Notepad++

=> Of course, no panel is now displayed !

Click on the Edit > Clipboard History option

=> The Clipboard History panel is opened, by default, on the right side but still displays the last text copied ! ( IMPORTANT NOTEPAD++ LICENSE TERMS )

Click on the View > Document Map option

=> The Document Map panel is opened, by default, on the right side and if you select your previous file, it should display, as expected, the same contents

Click on the View > Function List option

=> The Function List panel is opened, by default, on the right side and if you select the contextMenu.xml file, it displays, as before, the first <Item id="0"/> line, in the Function List panel

So, in summary, my method removes all the panels and forget their preferred user location but does keep the information displayed by these panels, as soon as you re-open them ! Thus, it should not be difficult to get the old configuration of all your previous panels !

Best Regards,

guy038

@WillyTheCatz You can modify the file with a hex editor if you can find the location of the values you wish to modify. But you’ll need a debugger to do that, and even then it probably won’t be easy. If you have no experience using a debugger, I would say this task is probably beyond your abilities at the moment.

In any case, Notepad++ is not the right tool for this job.

@PeterJones said in How to add or install pork2sausage to Notepad++:

install it from the zipfile you downloaded

I guess this will not work because the TO wrote

a link that allowed me to download a zip, “pork2sausage-master.zip”

Thus, the downloaded file likely is a ZIP file containing the whole GitHub repository with all source code files which is not suitable for installing the plugin. For this purpose @Marc-Hankin you should click to the red marked link at the project’s GitHub site

a097cfbc-5c2f-490f-8494-640e9007ac95-grafik.png

which will open the release section of the project’s site. There you will see the following:

538744eb-4f36-4610-84de-a229edb3e4b9-grafik.png

The first 3 files in that list are installable following the “Install plugin manually” section of the Notepad++ user manual. You should download the one that matches the CPU architecture of your computer and the bitness of your Windows operating system:

arm64 -> CPU architecture ARM, operating system bitness doesn’t matter (no different bitnesses), choose this if you run a Microsoft Surface device x64 -> CPU architecture Intel x86 compatible with AMD64 extension, operating system bitness 64 bit, choose this if you run a PC with a 64 bit version of Windows no postfix -> CPU architecture Intel x86 compatible with or without AMD64 extension, operating system bitness 32 bit, choose this if you run a PC with a 32 bit version of Windows

To learn how to figure out the bitness of your Windows installation please search the internet with your prefered search engine.
