  @Railien said in Text Blocks without end: if I fold the first block, everything ist folded. Then you did not follow @guy038’s directions. Notice that he only defined the middle folding, nothing else. Using your original data, I followed his instructions, and got exactly the behavior you described. See my animation below:

  @guy038 hello :) okay first since I tried to replace tabulation character - \t - but the notepad++ does not register the find so I had to leave it as it was. Regarding the remark - its okay the stuff I’m fixing is not in English language so I simply translated this small part to english in case it would be easier to understand for everyone though it bears no meaning withtout more context. :) I think this thing worked for me in the end. I see no errors on the database so far. Will get into youtube video code embedding replacement next which is a bit different than this query. Will ask for help later. :) Thanks for everybody involved.

  @Alan-Kilborn Just to clarify my error was that shortcuts.xml is in the program folder, but the one that needs editing is the in windows is the user App Data Drive:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Notepad++ Taking your suggestion though, I just recorded a macro using the recorder and that worked perfect. The second line was the action mentioned. <Macro name="Sort and Delete" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="yes" Key="112"> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42059" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42077" lParam="0" sParam="" /> </Macro> Just if anyone runs into the same difficulty, as this command I could not find to map. Thanks to @Alan-Kilborn for the solution.

  @Patrick-Sheppard said in [v.7.8.6] Vertical Edge Settings no longer works with Split Lines (Ctrl-I): It is now broken What version of Notepad++ - please post your debug info (menu ? => Debug Info…). I’ll assume you’re using the new 7.8.6 version as that is an easy fix. As of N++ 7.8.6, the vertical edge mode changed to multiedge by default so you can add multiple edges. You can try: SCI_SENDMSG SCI_GETEDGEMODE ================ READY ================ ECHO $(MSG_RESULT) 1 to verify. I’m assuming you’ll get back “3” as in EDGE_MULTILINE. You can modify your script to be: ::NPXEdgeColumSetToCurrent NPP_CONSOLE ? SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETEDGEMODE EDGE_LINE SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETEDGECOLUMN $(CURRENT_COLUMN) Cheers.

  @PeterJones said in Help with JSON and Scintilla Lexer: Good timing. I just finished a script to explore this: As the author of “PerlScript” why don’t you post Perl solutions ??? :-) Pretty quick but roughly Perl equivalent of the PythonScript you posted: #!perl use strict; use warnings; use Win32::Mechanize::NotepadPlusPlus ':all'; my $keep = notepad->getLangType(); for my $t ( sort ( keys ( %LANGTYPE ) ) ) { my $n = notepad->getLanguageName($LANGTYPE{$t}); my $d = notepad->getLanguageDesc($LANGTYPE{$t}); printf "%-35s %-35s %-35s\n", $t, $n, $d; notepad->setLangType($LANGTYPE{$t}); for my $s ( split "\n", editor->propertyNames() ) { my $v = editor->getProperty($s); printf "\t'%-32s' :%i: %-32s %s\n" , $s, editor->propertyType($s), '"' . $v . '"', editor->describeProperty($s); } print "\n"; } notepad->setLangType($keep);

  Hi, @real_1bx, and All, This time, due to the simultaneous search of an entire line, with its line-break, when a digit follows the colon char, we need, again, two groups, leading up to that regex S/R : SEARCH (?-is)^.+:\d.+\R|((:[A-Z])|:[a-z]) REPLACE ?1(?2\L:\U)\1 For instance, the input text, below : john:abC232 john:13kkmsd smith:SnLf1999 would be modified as : john:AbC232 smith:snLf1999 Best regards, guy038

  Hi, @сергій-бородін and All, Thinking back on your problem, here is a second method, requiring fewer steps, but which will classify each non-duplicated tag, according to a different layout ! So, assuming the same initial text, below : filename1.eps,tag1;tag2;tag3 filename2.eps,tag4;tag1;tag5 filename3.eps,tag6;tag2;tag9 filename3.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8 filename4.eps,tag1;tag9;tag5 filename5.eps,tag4;tag6;tag10;tag12 filename5.eps,tag8;tag2;tag1;tag6;tag11 filename6.eps,tag3;tag2;tag3;tag10;tag14 filename7.eps,tag5;tag7;tag15 filename8.eps,tag4;tag5;tag15;tag16 filename8.eps,tag3;tag14;tag9;tag7 filename8.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8 filename9.eps,tag2;tag10;tag17 filename10.eps,tag5;tag1;tag13 filename10.eps,tag7;tag6;tag9;tag10 filename11.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8;tag18 filename11.eps,tag10;tag12;tag13;tag20 filename12.eps,tag4;tag8;tag3;tag19 filename13.eps,tag6;tag15;tag9;tag11 filename14.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag17;tag12;tag4 filename15.eps,tag0;tag9,tag20 First this simple regex S/R, changes all this list in a one-line list : Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H ) SEARCH \R REPLACE # ( Any symbol, not used yet, can be chosen ) Select the Regular expression search mode Click on the Replace All button Which gives the single line, below : filename1.eps,tag1;tag2;tag3#filename2.eps,tag4;tag1;tag5#filename3.eps,tag6;tag2;tag9#filename3.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8#filename4.eps,tag1;tag9;tag5#filename5.eps,tag4;tag6;tag10;tag12#filename5.eps,tag8;tag2;tag1;tag6;tag11#filename6.eps,tag3;tag2;tag3;tag10;tag14#filename7.eps,tag5;tag7;tag15#filename8.eps,tag4;tag5;tag15;tag16#filename8.eps,tag3;tag14;tag9;tag7#filename8.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8#filename9.eps,tag2;tag10;tag17#filename10.eps,tag5;tag1;tag13#filename10.eps,tag7;tag6;tag9;tag10#filename11.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8;tag18#filename11.eps,tag10;tag12;tag13;tag20#filename12.eps,tag4;tag8;tag3;tag19#filename13.eps,tag6;tag15;tag9;tag11#filename14.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag17;tag12;tag4#filename15.eps,tag0;tag9,tag20 Now, here is the regex S/R, which deletes any duplicated tag ( The same regex, described in my previous post ) : SEARCH (?-is)[,;](\w+)(?=[,;#].*?[,;]\1([,;#]|\R|\z)) REPLACE Leave the zone EMPTY Your text should be shortened as below : filename1.eps#filename2.eps#filename3.eps#filename3.eps#filename4.eps#filename5.eps#filename5.eps#filename6.eps#filename7.eps#filename8.eps;tag16#filename8.eps;tag14#filename8.eps#filename9.eps#filename10.eps,tag5;tag1#filename10.eps#filename11.eps;tag18#filename11.eps,tag10;tag13#filename12.eps;tag8;tag19#filename13.eps,tag6;tag15;tag11#filename14.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag17;tag12;tag4#filename15.eps,tag0;tag9,tag20 Finally, this regex S/R, below : Replaces any semi-colon, right after the string eps with a comma Replaces any # symbol with a line-break ( \r\n or \n ) SEARCH eps;|(#) REPLACE ?1\r\n:eps,    OR    ?1\n:eps, if you works with an Unix file And we obtain the final output : filename1.eps filename2.eps filename3.eps filename3.eps filename4.eps filename5.eps filename5.eps filename6.eps filename7.eps filename8.eps,tag16 filename8.eps,tag14 filename8.eps filename9.eps filename10.eps,tag5;tag1 filename10.eps filename11.eps,tag18 filename11.eps,tag10;tag13 filename12.eps,tag8;tag19 filename13.eps,tag6;tag15;tag11 filename14.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag17;tag12;tag4 filename15.eps,tag0;tag9,tag20 As you can see, the 21 non-duplicated tags ( From tag0 to tag20 ) are arranged differently, with many lines without tag, at beginning of the list ! Best Regards, guy038

  @Jeffrey-Snively said in File Type issue: Now I have a different problem. With some file types (including .txt), when I go Right-click>Open With>Choose Default Program, it gives me the option to select NPP. I select it and check the “Always use this program” box. Then when I look in Windows explorer, it shows the file type for all my .txt documents as “Notepad++ Document” instead of “.txt file” or something. Old thread but I had same issue and this was the top google result so maybe this will help someone in future. Open regedit, go to “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notepad++_file”, instead of “Notepad++ Document” leave the description empty and reboot your PC. Thanks for someone over at SU providing this.

  On re-reading, I saw a fine point I may have missed: if you only want to delete parenthesized items when it starts with (tstamp, then slight change: FIND = \(tstamp.*?\) The rest remains the same. With this, (blah keep this) (tstamp blah blah) (blah keep this) will become (blah keep this) (blah keep this) If you have more requirements (the paren must start at the beginning of the line and/or end at the end of the line, or other such modifications), those refined requirements can be met. However, you will need to be more explicit. ---- Do you want regex search/replace help? Then please be patient and polite, show some effort, and be willing to learn; answer questions and requests for clarification that are made of you. All example text should be marked as plain text using the </> toolbar button or manual Markdown syntax. Screenshots can be pasted from the clipbpard to your post using Ctrl+V to show graphical items, but any text should be included as literal text in your post so we can easily copy/paste your data. Show the data you have and the text you want to get from that data; include examples of things that should match and be transformed, and things that don’t match and should be left alone; show edge cases and make sure you examples are as varied as your real data. Show the regex you already tried, and why you thought it should work; tell us what’s wrong with what you do get… Read the official NPP Searching / Regex docs and the forum’s Regular Expression FAQ. If you follow these guidelines, you’re much more likely to get helpful replies that solve your problem in the shortest number of tries.

  @Zara-Arik First of all thanks for the examples. We can see that you have made an effort to explain your goals. Unfortunately, at least for me, the explanations are confusing, so I don’t really understand what you want to do. Obviously, like me, English is not your first language, so I would recommend that you use an Online Translator to help you. Please note, the better/precise the question in your mother tongue is set, the better the translation will be. To the questions: Use the find dialog, go to the Mark Tab and mark the hits, optionally set bookmarks for each line Probably a regex search for \(.+?\) could provide this. How do you know if a sentence begins or ends. For this you actually need an AI that was really programmed for it and even this one won’t work 100% and 5. I do not understand.

  Temporary change of tab

  @Rob-Nicholson-1 , sometimes log files (in a variety of extensions) are in 8 space tabs If all of the 8-space logs were all part of the same builtin syntax-highlighting lexer (entry in the Language menu), then it wouldn’t matter if there were many extensions or just one. However, there isn’t really a logfile builtin lexer, and even if you created a UDL, the UDL don’t have their own tab settings – they just use the default. Thus, the only way I know to accomplish your task is with a scripting language. If you want a manual toggle, you could do it by sending the SCI_SETTABWIDTH message to the active scintilla editor component. But you’d have to be willing to install either the NppExec or PythonScript or LuaScript plugin (from Plugins Admin), or externally through Perl’s Win32::Mechanize::NotepadPlusPlus module. As a brief intro, in NppExec (which is a Notepad+±specific “shell” or “batch” language), you would define two scripts, one would be named SetTab8 and run sci_sendmsg SCI_SETTABWIDTH 8; the other would be named SetTab4 or similar, and would run sci_sendmsg SCI_SETTABWIDTH 4 in PythonScript, you could do it with two scripts, named similarly, using the syntax editor.setTabWidth(n) where n is either 4 or 8. Or you could get a little fancier and do something like n = 12 - editor.getTabWidth(); editor.setTabWidth(n); which would allow one script to toggle between 4 and 8. Or even fancier, and have it look at the active file’s type or extension to decide whether to set it to 4 or 8 or leave it unchanged. I don’t use LuaScript, but the syntax would be similar In Perl, it would use nearly the same syntax as PythonScript, except using -> instead of . I see that @Ekopalypse chimed in with the short version of this while I was typing. :-) That’s what I get for being “the wordy one”. ;-) Anyway, if you want to do it with a scripting language, let us know. If you tell us which language you’d prefer to use, we can help you through the steps of installing the plugin, adding the script(s), and getting them assigned to keyboard shortcuts.
