  @juon2nd said in Regex: check for a specific word/string across multiple files, then insert a string below: what I’ve learned by looking at a tutorial for only 1 hour Right, yes there were some unknowns, one being how many lines those “weird” brackets used up. From the latest info you provided they may be spread over several lines. That involves an almost complete redesign of my regex. I will explain the regex (broken down) as best I can in the hope you can alter any minor issues you find in the next test. Find What:(?s-i)^ぷっち.*?(?=TRANSLATION)\K(TRANSLATION\h*\R)(\R) Replace With:\1Pucchi\2""\2 The (?s-i) states we will accept “end of line” markers with a . and the -i means a non-insensitive’ test. So ‘TRANSLATION’ is NOT equal to ‘translation’. ^ぷっち means find these characters at the start of a line .*?(?=TRANSLATION) means (along with the (?s) any characters but non-greedily so long as we stop when we see TRANSLATION directly ahead. \K means we forget any characters we previously searched for and possibly captured. This allows us to recommence our search again. (TRANSLATION\h*\R)(\R) this is the REAL search we want, we capture those parts we wish to return in the replace with field with the additional text.

  Question about notepad++ double click behavior between certain characters

  Hi, @carverof-canyons, @alan-kilborn and All, @carverof-canyons, you said : I was hoping to ask one last final question if you’d let me. When I use the triple click method or the scintilla command SCI_LINECOPY to select an entire line of text, the cursor always goes immediately to the far left of the next line below it. So when I copy a line in this manner, upon pasting it, I always end up getting an extra blank line below whatever I am pasting. Is there anyway to stop notepad++ from always pasting in a blank line below whatever information I copied from a triple click on the line above? I think that you could easily get this behaviour, by adding, for instance, the 3 macro definitions, below, in your active shortcuts.xml file : <Macro name="Cut Current Line w/o EOL" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="88"> <!-- Alt + Shift + X --> <Action type="0" message="2312" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Go Very Beginning SCI_HOME (51) --> <Action type="0" message="2315" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Select to Very End SCI_LINEENDEXTEND (68) --> <Action type="0" message="2177" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Ctrl + X SCI_CUT (01) --> </Macro> <Macro name="Copy Current Line w/o EOL" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="67"> <!-- Alt + Shift + C --> <Action type="0" message="2312" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Go Very Beginning SCI_HOME (51) --> <Action type="0" message="2315" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Select to Very End SCI_LINEENDEXTEND (68) --> <Action type="0" message="2178" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Ctrl + C SCI_COPY (02) --> <Action type="0" message="2306" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Right Arrow SCI_CHARRIGHT (36) --> </Macro> <Macro name="Replace Current line by Clipboard" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="86"> <!-- Alt + Shift + V --> <Action type="0" message="2312" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Go Very Beginning SCI_HOME (51) --> <Action type="0" message="2315" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Select to Very End SCI_LINEENDEXTEND (68) --> <Action type="0" message="2179" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Ctrl + V SCI_PASTE (03) --> </Macro> Note that the Scintilla messages to get the very beginning of current line SCI_HOME ( 2312 ) and, then, extend selection to the very end of current line SCI_LINEENDEXTEND ( 2315 ) are not the default ones, used within N++ ! Indeed, the default Home operation is controlled by the SCI_VCHOMEWRAP message and the default Shift + End operation by the SCI_LINEENDWRAPEXTEND message However, the 2312 and 2315 Scintilla messages, used in the 3 macros, are preferred, because, on their own, they work properly, whatever : the present cursor location, in current line the current line is wrapped, or not ( View > Word wrap ) the current line is split on several lines, preceded, or not, by any indentation the current line begins, or not, by some blank characters the EOL characters of current line ( \r\n, \n or \r ) the current line is not terminated by any EOL characters ( case of the very last line of the file ) the Line Wrap type, ( Settings > Preferences...> Editing > Line Wrap ) : Default, Aligned or Indent Also, in summary : In order to cut line contents, you may use, either : The default N++ shortcut Ctrl + L ( SCI_LINECUT ), which cuts the entire current line, with its line-break, in the Clipboard The new macro shortcut Alt + Shift + X, which cuts the current line, w/o its line-break, in the Clipboard In order to copy line contents, you may use, either : The default N++ shortcut Ctrl + Shift + X ( SCI_LINECOPY ), which copies the entire current line, with its line-break, in the Clipboard The new macro shortcut Alt + Shift + C, which copies the current line, w/o its line-break, in the Clipboard In order to copy the Clipboard contents, you may use, either : The default N++ shortcut Ctrl + V ( SCI_PASTE ), which copies the Clipboard contents, at cursor location The new macro shortcut Alt + Shift + V, which replaces the current line, w/o its line-break, by the Clipboard contents Just play around with these different functions to test it and get acquainted to ;-)) Remark : The Cut Current Line w/o EOL macro just deletes the lines contents, without its line-break, and copies it into the Clipboard. However, the line-break of current line is kept. If you also want to get rid of this line-break, simply add a SCI_CLEAR message to this macro, giving : <Macro name="Cut Current Line w/o EOL" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="88"> <!-- Alt + Shift + X --> <Action type="0" message="2312" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Go Very Beginning SCI_HOME (51) --> <Action type="0" message="2315" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Select to Very End SCI_LINEENDEXTEND (68) --> <Action type="0" message="2177" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Ctrl + X SCI_CUT (01) --> <Action type="0" message="2180" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <!-- Delete SCI_CLEAR (05) --> </Macro> Best Regards, guy038 P.S. : Previously, I answered to similar requests ! Refer to : https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/12525/replace-current-line-without-inserting-a-new-line/19 https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/12525/replace-current-line-without-inserting-a-new-line/24 and more recently : https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/15859/copy-line-without-line-feed/6 And, after some re-testing, I think that the macros described, in this post, which have been shortened, seem to be just as effective ;-))

  @Alan-Kilborn said in Run MIME tools decoder on multiple files: @PeterJones Curious about the sleep function calls. Did you find these necessary? No. They were a holdover from my debugging (I like to be able to see what it’s doing as it goes through each step of the process) So @trespda , it’s safe to comment out or delete those sleep() commands.

  @Emory-Colvin said in Unable to change caret color: came back to it later and it was fixed I am glad it’s working for you now. Apparently it can’t keep up with realtime changes to the formatting. Just so you know, mine changes the color of the cursor immediately; I am wondering if you have a huge file, or many large files open, or something like that.

  Not quite sure I understand. The workflow is like this get number of open files (NPPM_GETNBOPENFILES) retrieve the bufferids for these files (NPPM_GETOPENFILENAMESPRIMARY/NPPM_GETOPENFILENAMESSECOND, NPPM_GETBUFFERIDFROMPOS) activate the bufferids (NPPM_ACTIVATEDOC) read the content (SCINTILLA API GetTextT)

  I haven’t no. I’m not familiar with macros in Notepad++, but it surely sounds like a good idea. I’ll try to give it a try :) Thanks

  @andrecool-68 I don’t think this “contextMenu.xml” fully corresponds with your screen shot earlier in this topic, but the "Language Syntax " does, and that’s sufficient. Also, your commented-out example on how to get Russian output clearly illustrates that mechanism. Thx for sharing!

  No problem here, all mentioned functions are displayed in the Function List. Makes me wonder which parser and N++ version you are using.

  @Aadil-Sohail , I am going to take a wild guess (though you weren’t very clear in your original post), since you included the Notepad++ specific shortcuts.xml reference, that you are editing your website code (assumed HTML) in Notepad++, and used Run > Launch In Chrome to view your website in a browser. I am further going to assume that you named your file blah rather than blah.html, because then Chrome would have no reason in the world to assume that the underlying bytes were meant to be html, and would thus show you the raw source code, rather than rendering the HTML. I am going to assume that Microsoft, in their Edge browser, like in many other Microsoft products, assumes it knows better than the user what should really happen, and ignores the filetype, and instead guesses at the “real” filetype, even when you pass it a file with no extension Fortunately, if I am right, Notepad++ will be very useful, because it will show the full file path, including directory, name, and extension, in the title bar (unless you have set Settings > Preferences > MISC to enable Show only filename in title bar as described in the official preferences documentation – if so, disable that). Or you can hover over the tab name, and the full path, name, and extension will be shown. If I am right, use File > Rename to fix the name to actually include .html in the name. I could be wrong, however, because you gave us next to nothing to go on. Or Alan could be right, and you were actually asking an HTML/webcoding question rather than asking a question specific to Notepad++. But I’m hoping that my wild guess is right, and I’ve been able to help you, despite your lack of information. Or that, at the very least, it will encourage you to provide more information so that we can help you. (Though if it’s an HTML question, Alan is right, and this isn’t the right place)

  I’m using the robocopy command line option /UNILOG to write the log file, but it seems to be broken - it doesn’t really write Unicode. Reconfiguring Notepad++ just for the sake of correctly displaying the robocopy logfile is not an option for me, because Notepad++ is my standard editor for nearly everything. There can never be too many command line options though, so I’d strongly vote for a possibility to indicate the character set/encoding when opening a file. I’ve just created Github issue #8082 for this.
