    @Pro-Audio ,

    So, looking at the two screenshots, I’m not convinced that Notepad++ & UDL & EnhanceAnyLexer Plugin is really going to give you what you want.

    The “rules” that it uses for highlighting seem pretty arbitrary – for example, in the command apt-get install nano, the nano is not highlighted in the command line, nor one line down after package, but a few lines down, the nano after Package is highlighted. And sometimes the word file is cyan and sometimes purple. That indicates to me that MobaXTerm might just be accepting the colors that the linux tools themselves are setting, rather than performing its own highlighting. And there is virtually no way that we would be able to define a UDL+EnhanceAnyLexer combination that would be able to decide, just from the text, what colors each word should be and have it 100% match what you are seeing in MobaXTerm.

    You could do some things, where you give it a list of keywords like cygwin and libgcc1, etc for cyan coloring, and words like nano and file for purple, then use EnhanceAnyLexer to look for sets of text with no spaces that have multiple / or . between “word” characters… but even that won’t get everything right (like the ellipses not being highlighted). So if you’re looking for exact color match, it’s not going to happen.

    As much as I hate recommending a different tool than Notepad++ for the job in this forum, if you a really looking to keep the exact colors for all words for your linux output copied from MobaXTerm, I think you might best be served saving the RTF output, then opening the RTF file with a word processor like WordPad. (There are times when a Word Processor is the right tool for the job. And Notepad++ is not a Word Processor.)

    Problem solved. In the View->Show Symbol menu the Show All Characters item was checked. Clearing it fixed it. I have been using Notepad ++ for several years, and I had never changed anything in that menu choice until today. Thanks for the help.

    If the 64th line of a group happens to fall on a blank line with no content, the Mark operation would not show that – no text to color red.

    To solve this case, perhaps using “bookmarks” will help. Add this condition to the original Mark All operation:

    Bookmark line: ticked

    This would show like this on an affected line:

    @Alan-Kilborn I think I’ll duplicate it and make “hex to decimal.py” and “decimal to hex.py” to skip the dialog. Very helpful.

    @amymor @Alan-Kilborn

    I suppose that I have found the cause of the problem
    It looks like calling NPPM_GETLANGUAGENAME with a value of -1 can cause npp to crash. I assume this also applies to NPPM_GETLANGUAGEDESC, as I suspect the problem manifests itself when getLangDesc is called.

    Thread 1 received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ff6413bc493 in notepad++!GetNameSpace () (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ff6413bc493 in notepad++!GetNameSpace () #1 0x00007ff6413d8f2d in notepad++!GetNameSpace () #2 0x00007ff6413dab12 in notepad++!GetNameSpace () #3 0x00007ff6413d4ce1 in notepad++!GetNameSpace () #4 0x00007ffd14c0e858 in USER32!CallWindowProcW () from C:\WINDOWS\System32\user32.dll #5 0x00007ffd14c0e3dc in USER32!DispatchMessageW () from C:\WINDOWS\System32\user32.dll #6 0x00007ffd14c20bc3 in USER32!SendMessageTimeoutW () from C:\WINDOWS\System32\user32.dll #7 0x00007ffd16ed0d74 in ntdll!KiUserCallbackDispatcher () from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll #8 0x00007ffd14251124 in win32u!NtUserMessageCall () from C:\WINDOWS\System32\win32u.dll #9 0x00007ffd14c0df02 in USER32!SendMessageW () from C:\WINDOWS\System32\user32.dll #10 0x00007ffd14c0d68a in USER32!SendMessageW () from C:\WINDOWS\System32\user32.dll #11 0x00007ffce3751888 in notepadpp__Npp_call (n=..., msg=2107, wparam=18446744073709551615, lparam=0)

    I add a check in EnhanceAnyLexer to prevent calling it in this case

    pub fn(n Npp) get_language_name(buffer_id usize) string { lang_type := n.call(nppm_getbufferlangtype, buffer_id, isize(0)) if lang_type == -1 { return 'UNKNOWN_ERROR' } mut buffer_size := int(n.call(nppm_getlanguagename, usize(lang_type), isize(0))) + 1 mut buffer := alloc_wide(buffer_size) n.call(nppm_getlanguagename, usize(lang_type), isize(buffer)) lang_name := unsafe { string_from_wide(buffer) } return lang_name.to_lower().replace('udf - ', '') }

    An issue has been opened.

    If you “disagree” with that well than so be it.

    I think Peter is willing to take your complaint seriously, as long as you can provide what he asked for, specifically from above:

    If you disagree with my experiments, please show example text…

    As it is, you’ve given nothing but an additional whine.

    I, like Terry, have some advice about multiple instances, but mine is much more concise: Don’t do it, the potential problems (most of which are outlined by Terry) outweigh whatever possible advantage you think you are achieving.

    Installing software makes me nervous, these days.

    I feel your feeling.
    But with Notepad++, you’re good.
    But maybe I don’t totally believe this because I’ve never installed it – I’ve only used the portable version.
    Perhaps you didn’t know this exists?
    Nobody has ever convinced me there are benefits to the installed version.

    @Emalino-Emalero said in How to delete a stipulated number of letters at the beginning of each line?:

    Wouldn’t it be possible to implement this function in text mode in the program?

    Possible yes, probable, unlikely. Since this uses a rudimentary expression that easily covers the process.

    There is another idea that works without regular expressions, it involves the use of a box that covers all 5 characters of all the lines. So you use Ctrl+Alt+mouse button which allows creating a box around the first 5 characters (or any number). Then you’d delete.

    @Nando-Piscopo ,

    When you know it’s “yet another TextFx” question, have you considered looking to see if it’s a FAQ? Because it is. And as the “LineUp” entry in that FAQ suggests, Elastic Tabstops plugin might help you line up columns (though it’s been a while since I’ve used it, and I don’t remember if it has that specific column-feature or not).

    That said, the FAQ also links you to the NppTextFX2 plugin, where someone took the original TextFX code and made it compatible with Notepad++ v8.4-and-newer (though there might still be one or two features which aren’t working … if you find missing/broken features, file a bug report with the NppTextFX2 repository)

    FYI: the plugins CSV Lint (which allows each column to be colored differently, to help visualize columns even without the LineUp feature) and CsvQuery (which makes it easy to search big CSV, if you know SQL syntax) are generally considered useful when working with CSV files as well.

    @Jeff-Esposito said in Notepad++ VERY slow to open:

    What is it and why is it doing this?

    Glad to hear you figured it out, and sorry for the late reply, but I try to stay away from the computer on weekends.

    Windows provides the ability to collect statistics about running processes, and that is what procmon uses. I don’t think profiling information is particularly useful in most cases. The only scenario I can think of is if you are developing a driver that is loaded by the kernel, then you can get the information if it is working fast enough or leaking memory by comparing the collected values.
