  Regex: How to turn more words in the line as if they were seen in the mirror?

  @Robin-Cruise said in Regex: How to turn more words in the line as if they were seen in the mirror?: Mirrors Actually Flip the Letters in a Word? Or, how to turn more words in the line as if they were seen in the mirror? For example: At the Olympics you run not only for yourself, but for all people. After using a regex formula, the output should be: Ta eht scipmylO uoy nur ton ylno rof flesruoy, tub rof lla elpoep. Using the examples provided (by OP and @guy038) the following regex would do the job. It is much shorter than the second regex provided by @guy038, although I should add that my regex will (currently) work with a word of between 2 to 39 characters long. The regex could be extended much further as not anywhere approaching the 2048 character limit. A calculation suggests a word of 79 characters could be accomodated as ([\w'’-])?(?(19)([\w'’-])) is 26 characters long. Divided into 2048 we have 78 with 20 to spare. 20 together with the #1-#9 groups saving another 9 characters allows for 1 additional word character. I am not going to write a regex that long even if I can cheat by using a number of Notepad++ functions to create that regex. So using the Replace With function we have: Find What:\b([\w'’-])([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?([\w'’-])?(?(19)([\w'’-]))(?(18)([\w'’-]))(?(17)([\w'’-]))(?(16)([\w'’-]))(?(15)([\w'’-]))(?(14)([\w'’-]))(?(13)([\w'’-]))(?(12)([\w'’-]))(?(11)([\w'’-]))(?(10)([\w'’-]))(?(9)([\w'’-]))(?(8)([\w'’-]))(?(7)([\w'’-]))(?(6)([\w'’-]))(?(5)([\w'’-]))(?(4)([\w'’-]))(?(3)([\w'’-]))(?(2)([\w'’-]))([\w'’-])\b Replace With:${39}${38}${37}${36}${35}${34}${33}${32}${31}${30}${29}${28}${27}${26}${25}${24}${23}${22}${21}${20}${19}${18}${17}${16}${15}${14}${13}${12}${11}${10}${9}${8}${7}${6}${5}${4}${3}${2}${1} What follows is how I reached the solution and need not be read unless you want an in-depth foundation on how it works. What is occuring is that it has to capture a minimum of 2 word characters (plus additional characters) [\w'’-], and that is the first and last capture groups in the regex. There are 39 capture groups with pairs of #2 & #38, #3 & #37, #4 & #36 etc linked together. That is to say if capture group #2 does capture a character then capture group #38 MUST also capture a character. Since these work as pairs and I already have the first and last capture groups which also MUST capture a character each I needed to include another capture group which operates alone, allowing for an odd numbered length word, this is the one immediately before (?(19)([\w'’-])). Of course the replacement field just needs to write these capture groups back in reverse order. If a capture group never stored a character it doesn’t write anything back. Terry

  NppExec compilation of AutoIt files, with includes...

  @Dave-Binbin , Is there a way that the NppExec script would work from any file of my project ? that it could know the mainfile of my project ? Maybe with some kind of NPP environnement variable that I could set at the beginning of each file of my project ? I am not sure how you expect NppExec would parse your active file – unlike some of the other scripting language plugins, NppExec doesn’t really have easy access to whatever portion of the current file you want. So I don’t think it would be easy to implement something like that. In the end, you would have to have some way of telling NppExec what the “main” file is for each project. And since NppExec is more filesystem-focused than file-content-focused, I would suggest a specialized file for the purpose. In many software development environments, there is something called a “makefile”, where you define how to compile and/or test and/or otherwise “make” a project – and each project has its own makefile. It could be a literal makefile, which works with the make/gmake/nmake utility on your computer; or it could be a batchfile; or it could be some custom solution. So for your case, I might suggest creating a file called makefile.nppexec, which goes in the same folder as your .au3 files for a given project. The makefile.nppexec would look something like set PROJECTMAINFILE = PutMainFileNameHere.au3 echo Running main program $PROJECTMAINFILE from directory $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Au3check.exe" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(PROJECTMAINFILE)" if $(EXITCODE) >= 2 goto EXITSCRIPT "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(PROJECTMAINFILE)" :EXITSCRIPT … and you would customize the makefile.nppexec in each project to call that project’s main file (using the variable at the top) Then you would change your main NppExec script to: npp_saveall echo Starting from : $(FILE_NAME) cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" if $(EXT_PART) != .au3 goto BADFILE npp_exec makefile.nppexec // this runs the "makefile" for the current project goto EXITSCRIPT :BADFILE echo "Not an autoit file !!!" :EXITSCRIPT … so you would have one makefile.nppexec per project folder, and you would then run the central NppExec script, and based on the current directory of the active .au3 file, it would run the appropriate makefile.nppexec from that folder.

  Hi, @stephan-romhart, @terry-r and All, Oooooh, Stephan, I see ! Actually, it’s the comments, themselves, that are the objects to look for ;-)) Then, just for your information, here is a shorter version of the two regexes, within the css_comment.xml file contents : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <NotepadPlus> <functionList> <!-- ================================================ [ CSS comments ] --> <parser id="css_comment" displayName="CSS" commentExpr=""> <function mainExpr="/\*{2,3}(?i)[A-Z0-9\xc4\xd6\xdc\xdf -]+\*/" displayMode="$functionName"> <functionName> <nameExpr expr="(?i)[A-Z0-9\xc4\xd6\xdc\xdf -]+" /> </functionName> </function> </parser> </functionList> </NotepadPlus> With the added line, in the configuration file overrideMap.xml : <association id= "css_comment.xml" langID= "20"/> As the default CSS association is : <!-- <association id= "css.xml" langID= "20"/> --> Note that the added line, in the overrideMap.xml file, is not mandatory. But, in that case, you must rename the css_comment.xml file as css.xml ! BR guy038

  @guy038 , Ah, yeah: I had avoided the S/R in the macro because I didn’t think of ticking the “in selection”. Good idea. @fly-wire , My solution is okay; but if you want to preserve your clipboard you should use @guy038’s solution, because mine will replace the contents of the clipboard with your selected text, whereas the search-and-replace macro does not use the clipboard, so your old clipboard contents will still be available for pasting later.

  Hi, I encounter this problem on every notepad++ opening. The main menu refreshes 3 times, and each refresh takes around a second. Removing “Explorer” plugin fixed it for me.
