  @aarocaes , Interesting. It sorts correctly for me. I thought maybe if you have mixed line endings, where some don’t match the current line-endings mode: => Yeah, that’s it: correctly\nsorted and these\nlines were treated as single lines. So, as long as you don’t have mixed line endings, and your line endings match the defined line endings setting shown in the status bar, it will work. But if there’s a mix or discrepancy, it won’t be treated as a line ending.

  @guy038 said in .ics file selection problem: at beginning of my post are totally independent ! Firstly my apologies. I got fixated on the concept of using a positive lookahead after looking at both of your solutions. For some reason later on a did mix them together and thinking there were 2 steps. Perhaps in my defence I’ve just come to realise my reasoning all the way through was that there would be extraneous lines between the END:VEVENT and BEGIN:VEVENT lines, that is, between the record sets. I’ve just googled a typical ics file and whilst that isn’t true there are additional lines before AND after (header and footer info) the sets we were identifying with the regexes. I’ve got a longish one and reduced the size so you can see what shows in the file. BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Google Inc//Google Calendar 70.9054//EN VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN METHOD:PUBLISH X-WR-CALNAME:ECML PKDD 2015 X-WR-TIMEZONE:Europe/Lisbon X-WR-CALDESC:The European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of\nKnowledge Discovery in Databases (ECMLPKDD) will take place i n Porto\,\nPortugal\, from September 7th to 11th\, 2015 (http://www.ecmlpkd d2015.org).\n\nThis event is the leading European scientific event on machi ne learning and\ndata mining and builds upon a very successful series of 25 ECML and 18 PKDD\nconferences\, which have been jointly organized for the past 14 years.

SUMMARY:Tutorials - Tutorials Material TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR So although the OP never showed this I had made the assumption I couldn’t guarantee there weren’t other lines, nor did I think to ask. Thanks for critiquing my regexes. I had made a discovery and couldn’t quite believe I hadn’t considered it before. There have been lots of instances where I wanted to find a data set with a specific string using the lookahead and seeing it would continue through other sets UNTIL it found the correct one. The realisation I had the power to stop it upon a failed string search within the 1 data set was (dare I say it) overwhelming. It was like a light had suddenly switched on, learning a new ability with regexes. Cheers Terry

  @Alan-Kilborn said in Open text file and jump to the end: I don’t see it as “hacky”. I was hoping -1 (negative one) would be like “last array element” and bring me to the last line, but it didn’t work. I would think that would be “less hacky”. :-) Cheers.

  @Terry-R and @PeterJones Both of you have gone well above and beyond in trying to sort this. I can’t thank you enough for all your efforts. This afternoon I logon and open Notepad++ and the titlebar does NOT say administrator. I open some files using <enter> on explorer and they all go to the extreme right (I have only unsaved tabs open) as I wish. The titlebar still does not say administrator. These are the same files I was working with in above screenshots, as well as others in the same directory. So were it not for your last post Terry-R, I would have claimed it is some difference in having administrator mode on… but now it is proved that is not the whole story… There is nothing I’ve (intentionally) done to stop administrator mode. Administrator mode has been on for awhile, I can’t say how long though… weeks… months… and I don’t know what I did to get it turned on. Thanks for the info about the emails not actually happening! Thought I had missed something in settings.

  @Shane-Young said in Fix corrupted txt file (NULL): How many people does it take? Even an infinite number of people reporting the problem here in the forum will likely do nothing. The only official bug and issue tracking happens on GitHub. Comment on the official issue tracker – for example, in the still-open issue #6133 – begging that something be done. But complaining about it here will do nothing. Every regular in this forum that has expressed an opinion agrees that something needs to be done to fix it – but all the agreeing opinions in the world expressed in this forum will do nothing to fix the problem. Our best bet right now is @pnedev’s fix, but the only hope for that is to convince Don that his fix won’t break other things.

  @Makwana-Prahlad said in Search and replace between 2 files: PeopleSleptWith ??? I think it is time for “banning” this individual. Grounds: He pollutes threads with posts with useless and unrelated information which will only make any future readers seeking a solution to the problem originally posed confused. Need more evidence: Look at his previous postings.

  For reference, the syntax is CFX Command Language (CCL), as used in several ANSYS applications, including session files for CFX-Pre and CST files for CFD Post. The colon–END syntax is called CCL “Simple Syntax” (for defining objects, including their constituent parameters). The lines starting with “>” are CCL “action line” syntax. There can also be lines of Perl code embedded in the same script file, which would start with “!” and are called “Power Syntax” (not included in the above example).

  Hello, @ericsambach, @dinkumoil and All; I think that you can simplify your function list as below : <function mainExpr="(?x) \h* [[:alnum:]]+ (?= (?:\s*~[^\n\r~]*~)* \s* \[ )"> <functionName> <nameExpr expr="[[:alnum:]]+"/> </functionName> </function> Notes : No need of of (?-i) modifier, as we use the [[:alnum:]] Posix character class which is identical to [\u\l\d] or [A-Za-z0-9] No need of the (?s) modifier, as we don’t use any regex dot symbol ( . ) anyway ! No need of the (?m) modifier, as we don’t use the ^ and $ assertions, too ! The first \s* of the regex has been moved at beginning of the non-capturing group (?:\s*.....) Best Regards, guy038

  @ArkadiuszMichalski said in Intercept a particular Notepad ++ instance: I will try check two Firefox portable if such situation also appear for them. Not sure why that is relevant. If not then there will probably be something wrong with Notepad ++. I don’t think you’re going to get much support in there being something “wrong with Notepad++” in this regard.

  @SMylk , In general, when asking about interfacing one product (in this case, Notepad++) with some other external product (in this case, SimpleNote), it’s considered polite to provide links to and/or descriptions of what SimpleNote is – I had to do a web search to find out what it is. As far as I know, there is no Notepad++ plugin to deal with SimpleNote – definitely not in the Plugins Admin plugin list. There may be one somewhere, but I don’t know what it is. After a brief search on SimpleNote, I saw that it has both a web interface and a local Windows app. Are you looking to connect to the web data, or to the data for a local app version? I think I saw that it’s default filetype is JSON – Notepad++ can read the raw JSON, but it won’t interpret it the way that SimpleNote does – but maybe opening the SimpleNote .json file with Notepad++ and using the JSON Viewer plugin would give you something like what you want. I guess the real question is “what are you trying to accomplish?” Because that might affect what answers people give.

  @tehmasterer Here’s how I might do it, using the Pythonscript plugin and the following script: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from Npp import editor, notepad, NOTIFICATION, SCINTILLANOTIFICATION NPP_BOOKMARK_MARKER_ID_NUMBER = 24 # from N++ source code: MARK_BOOKMARK = 24; NPP_BOOKMARK_MARKER_MASK = 1 << NPP_BOOKMARK_MARKER_ID_NUMBER if 1: line_nbr = editor.markerNext(0, NPP_BOOKMARK_MARKER_MASK) bookmark_line_list = [] while line_nbr != -1: bookmark_line_list.append(line_nbr) line_nbr = editor.markerNext(line_nbr + 1, NPP_BOOKMARK_MARKER_MASK) print(bookmark_line_list) else: for line_nbr in bookmark_line_list: editor.markerAdd(line_nbr, NPP_BOOKMARK_MARKER_ID_NUMBER) Have both the file with the original bookmarks (call it “B1”) and the file you want to apply the bookmarks to (call it “B2”) open in Notepad++ tabs. Make B1 the active file. Run the script as written above. Change the if 1: line in the script to if 0: and save the script. Make B2 the active file. Run the (modified) script. B2 should now have the same bookmarks as B1.
