  @Alan-Kilborn said in Copying highlighted text lines from 1 Notepad++ file to another: And of course I botched the names of the scripts, being inconsistent about them both (the names of the scripts in the two-bullet list are different from the names immediately before each script). Oh, well… (Personally I like the names in the two-bullet list better)

  @Josh-Mayfield Better yet, wait for the 7.8.7 release which will drop imminently and that fixes this behavior using the New style dialogue. Cheers.

  @Ekopalypse Really, really appreciate this. It works! Thank you! For my own education do you mind stepping through what’s happening with the code?

  @David-Bennett This is a bit of a hack, but could you use the Explorer plugin which has a Favorites dockable? In the Favorites, you have a “Files” section so you could create a file with each regex, one per line, save it somewhere and then add it’s shortcut to the Explorer Favorites “Files” section. Then when you want a regex, just open that file, highlight the regex you want, press Ctrl-F so it autopopulates the regex in the Find dialogue, select the tab you want to search and GO! I can’t make a screen animation, but maybe the following screenshots illustrate? Cheers.

  @guy038 said in is there a color picker for the 64bit version 7.8.6?: As soons as you move around the mouse, you get this weird screen, below :: Weird indeed, I’m afraid I don’t get that behavior and moving the mouse just moves the picker as expected without leaving the trails.

  @remeshed said in Why is np++ accessing counters.dat?: opening some IE(?) Another thought: that isn’t necessarily an IE-specific file. I have seen plenty of systems – especially from the Win7 era – where the %TEMP% and/or %TMP% variables were set to the Temporary Internet Files directory (sometimes just for system environment variables, sometimes for both system and user variables), because that was a “known always there temporary-style folder”. If you look at your Windows System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables (it might be easiest to use the Win-key, start typing system environment variables, and select Edit the system environment variables (control panel) when it comes up), you might be surprised to find that your system and/or user TMP/TEMP variables are set there. If so, then it becomes reasonable that any application or DLL would be using that folder as its temporary space, because that’s what it’s been told to do.

  @darkenb , I asked for text, you gave an image. I asked for “before” and “after” data separately; you put the “before” and “after” in the same screenshot – and even on second reading, I didn’t realize that the to in your image was the change from X to Y indicator rather than part of your text. The rest of what I wrote is to help you learn and to help you get better help. The help you receive will only be as good as the effort you put into asking for help. For your actual problem: FIND = <category>TEXT (\d)</category> REPLACE = <category>TEXT $1$1</category> Search Mode = regular expression (untested) I recommend you backup any files you try this on, and only try it on one file until everything is working. There are obvious assumptions in my example – that your text is literally TEXT every time, and that you’ll always only have one digit after text before </category> – but if my answer is not sufficient for your needs, you are going to have to do a better job of providing data that represents your data, and showing a willingness to learn.

  UDL Operators - unicode support?

  @PeterJones Thanks. I was hoping to use operators since they “glue” - my initial testing indicates that keywords need spaces to be recognised which is difficult to ensure in my case. I’ll check out the suggested script - might be a quick win if it’s fast enough on some of the decrepit hardware I need to support!

  @MK-Digital Whether it is in appdata or not depends on how you installed npp and whether you are using the doLocalConf.xml or not.

  @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.

  @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);
