  @andrew-staibuz, @peterjones, @dinkumoil and All, I’ve found a small error, relative to an unique line, beginning with 394318123243|"""Commander, the operation went as planned............, which contained, initially, 4 consecutive double-quotes (") I previously proposed to change the """" string with """,". However, in order that this line has exactly 18 fields, the correct replacement should be ""• ! Of course, I also updated my previous post and some replacement numbers ;-)) Cheers, guy038

  @computeteen5 You could use the XML Tools plugin and some XSLT code to transform your document. The following XSLT code creates a copy of the input XML file but doubles the value of the BasePay nodes’ text: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="no"/> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="BasePay"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:value-of select="text() * 2"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:transform> Save this code as an *.xsl file and open your XML file with Notepad++. I assume that you have already installed the XML Tools plugin. While your XML file is opened in the active tab, go to (menu) Plugins -> XML Tools -> XSL Transformation. In the dialog popping up click on the ... button, select your XSL file from above and click the Transform button.

  @donho said in Notepad++ just deleted all the text from my files: but for me it’s rather an OS issue. But…virtually no one will blame the OS. They will blame Notepad++. That’s just the way it is. And a text editor doesn’t need that type (losing data) of reputation.

  @Steven-Haymes said in Updating to 7.8: how does the “Upgrade Scintilla from 4.1.4 to 4.2.0” effect already installed plugins? I’m using 7.8 but I’m using portable versions only so can’t say something about installation procedure. The biggest differences for plugins is that those are able now to load their dlls from within the plugin directory but it is not forced that the plugin does it. In short, I did not experience any plugin problems but have to admit, that I do not use so many different plugins.

  @Ekopalypse That’s…a very good point! It’s more efficient and less cluttered to just have a unique ending delimiter rather than modify the beginning of every line. Thanks!

  Hello, @zen2cool and All, If I understand you, correctly, you would like that, given the text : +====================== Ticket 16392 ======================= 1 6X50G GO MY LITTLE ONE 2.89 2.89 2.89 B 1 400G NEXP CAT STER STER 3.49 3.49 3.49 B TOTAL EUROS: 3.38 You expect the text : 1 6X50G GO MY LITTLE ONE 2.89 2.89 2.89 B 1 400G NEXP CAT STER STER 3.49 3.49 3.49 B Am I right about it ? If so, use this regex S/R : SEARCH (?-is)^.+Ticket.+\R\R|\RTOTAL EUROS.+\R REPLACE Leave Empty Best Reards, guy038

  Hello, @arhack-bifrost, @Dinkumoil and All, I was away from the N++ community since more than a month ( see my post below ) https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/47895 So, my reply may be out of date ! However, the macro, below, with 2 almost identical parts, is able to first searches, recursively, for the expression variableNumber1 in all the files of your Folder_Path. Secondly, it searches, in the same way, for the expression variableNumber2 and, finally, shows the 2 successive search operations, in the Find Result panel :-)) <Macro name="searchTest" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0"> <Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="variableNumber1" /> <Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="2" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1653" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="X:\The_path_of_MyFolder\" /> <Action type="3" message="1652" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="*.c" /> <Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="800" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1656" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="variableNumber2" /> <Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="2" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1653" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="X:\The_path_of_MyFolder\" /> <Action type="3" message="1652" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="*.c" /> <Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="800" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1656" sParam="" /> </Macro> Notes : Of course, you may add as many sections as you want to perform other searches ;-)) The parameters value 800 means : 512 ( Direction = Down ) + 256 ( Wrap around ) + 32 = Search in sub-folders Two important remarks : Your initial macro, in your post, contains a syntax error. Indeed, the line : <Action type="3" message="1652" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="*.c*"" /> should be : <Action type="3" message="1652" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="*.c" /> Secondly, note that, in all caases, the absolute folder path, let’s say "X:\The_path_of_MyFolder\", must, necessarily, ends with a backslash symbol ( \ ) Cheers, guy038

  Hello @vasile-caraus and All, Not very difficult, indeed ! Do your search in files ( Ctrl + Shift + F ) Once the Find Result panel opened, right-click inside and choose the option Select all Hit the shortcut Ctrl + C ( Do NOT use the Copy option of the context menu ! ) Open a new tab ( Ctrl + N ) Paste the clipboard ( Ctrl + V ) Now, in that new file, perform the following regex S/R : SEARCH (?-si)^(?:(Search).+|\x20\x20(.+)\(.+?\)$|\t.+\R) REPLACE (?1echo @OFF)(?2Del\x20\2\x20/p) Save this new file, in your N++ directory, as, let’s say Suppression.bat Execute the option Ren > Run... ( of hit the F5 key ) Type in the command cmd /k Suppression.bat Valid the suppression of each file, by answering y Close the DOS window Et voilà ! Remark : If your prefer to delete all files in one go, change the Replace zone as (?1echo @OFF)(?2Del\x20\2) Best Regards, guy038

  Hi, @gurikbal-singh and All, I was away from the N++ community since more than a month ( see my post below ) https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/47895 So, my reply is probably out of date and may be obsolete ! To strictly answer your question, if you want that the second column starts at column N, use the generic regex S/R : SEARCH (?-s)^.{N-2}\K\x20+ REPLACE Leave Empty and click, exclusively on the Replace All button Thus, if you need that the second column starts, let’s say, at column 21, use the following S/R : SEARCH (?-s)^.{19}\K\x20+ REPLACE Leave Empty Of course, the number N must be in the interval [a,b], where : a = Maximum length of column 1 + 1 b = Minimum column starting column 2 - 1 So, in our example : a = 17 + 1 = 18 and b = 31 - 1 = 30 => N must be in interval [18-30] Best Regards, guy038

  Hello, @darklinkpower, I was away from the N++ community, since more than a month ( see my post below ) https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/47895 So, @darklinkpower, my reply is quite out of date. But if you still look for a regex solution I can take up the challenge of performing this S/R with regexes ! However you must give me a real example of your 2 ( short ) files A and B, as well as the expected real output file, from these 2 input files Simply, as your files are XML ones, in your future post, write your code in blocks, like below : ~~~xml … … ~~~ Just to give you an idea, of the regexes’s powerful, let’s suppose the input text, below : <text><![line a[line b, line c, line d, A1, A2, A3]]></text> <text><![line a[line b, line c, line d, B1, B2, B3]]></text> <text><![line a[line b, line c, line d, line e, line f, line g, line h, C1, C2, C3, C4]]></text> <text><![line a[line b, line c, line d, line e, line f, line g, line h, D1, D2, D3, D4]]></text> <text><![line a[Small test, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8, E9]]></text> <text><![line a[Small test, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9]]></text> <text><![line a[word 1, G1, G2]]></text> <text><![line a[word 1, H1, H2]]></text> <text><![line a[I1]]></text> <text><![line a[J1]]></text> Then, the following regex S/R : SEARCH (?-s)^(.+)(.+)]]></text>(\R)\1(.+)\R REPLACE \1\2, \4\3 will change, when you click on the Replace All button, in one go, the text as below : <text><![line a[line b, line c, line d, A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3]]></text> <text><![line a[line b, line c, line d, line e, line f, line g, line h, C1, C2, C3, C4, D1, D2, D3, D4]]></text> <text><![line a[Small test, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8, E9, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9]]></text> <text><![line a[word 1, G1, G2, H1, H2]]></text> <text><![line a[I1, J1]]></text> As you can see, this regex S/R is able to differentiate the first common part of two consecutive lines from the second variable part which must be merged in one line only ;-)) So, see you later ! Best Regards, guy038

  Hello, @fernando-avendaño217 and All, I was away from the N++ community, since more than a month ( see my post below ) https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/47895 So, Fernando, my reply is quite out of date. However, just for info, here is my solution : SEARCH (?-is)^.+\bChecking\b.*\R.+\bFailed qualification\R REPLACE Leave EMPTY Notes : First the part (?-is) are in-line modifiers which implies : The search is processed in a non-insensitive way ( -i ) The regex dot char ( . ) match a single standard character and not any EOF char ( -s ) Then the part ^.+\bChecking\b.*\R looks for an entire line containing the word Checking, with that exact case Finally the part .+\bFailed qualification\R grabs any entire next line, which contains the exact expression Failed qualification, with that exact case As replacement is empty, these two consecutive entire lines are simply deleted :-)) Best Regards, guy038
