Hello, @zean-yauh and All,

Do you mean something like that ?

SEARCH (?-s)\R(?!.+:)

REPLACE \x20

Tick the Wrap around option

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click on the Replace All button

The two bytes that start the file on line 1, PK are a dead giveaway that this is a zipped archive file, as Peter indicated. Long ago, zip files were created with a program called pkzip.exe and their contents extracted with a program called pkunzip.exe. I think P was for the name of someone named “Phil”. I’ll really press my memory and say the K was for “Katz”. (I could cheat and google it, but it is often more fun to just try to pull stuff from memory – googling it is left as an exercise for interested readers)

@PeterJones

I have found an issue logged with the Snippets project on GitHUb where other users are having the same problem so hopefully it will be resolved soon.

@PeterJones

Alright, thank you for all your help.

Have a great day!

@Özgür-Ulusoy

Using a regular expression search like this
^Installing.+\)$ should do the job.

If you want to understand what this means, please read here.

@PeterJones i will try, thank you

Thanks heaps. Makes sense to me now.

@Gary-Winey

Do you mean

If so, then the checkbox on the right controls that. It tells you this when you hover over that box:
c4c1b4bf-9ec7-4476-ac7f-67c761911e0e-image.png

It’s also documented in the usermanual

(I showed a screenshot on the Find tab of the dialog, but it’s the same on the Find and Replace tab as well)

@Meatball-Football ,

If you want to filter which files are searched, the expectation was to use Find in Files rather than the Find feature’s Find in All Opened Documents command – and that Find in Files does have a filter syntax described in the hover text and in more detail at npp-user-manual.org in the section “Find in Files”

@PeterJones Thanks for taking the time to reply. I have the same understanding as you but still have to make the effort. Fortunately, I only have to log the attempt then push the matter further up the team ladder.

There is a simple solution: copy and rename the “example” files.

Notepad++ is looking for files called “langs.xml” and “stylers.xml” and both are in the programs home directory (with the “exe” file), except, they are named “langs.MODEL.xml” and “stylers.MODEL.xml” respectively.

Simply make copies in the same directory and rename both copies, remove the part that says “-copy” and “.model” from the name so they both are named"langs.xml" and “stylers.xml” and whala! It works!

These “model” versions are meant to be examples, to model the method of use for cutomization and serve as backups in case you bork the files once you edit/customize them, that way you’ll always have the backups handy to fix or start fresh.

@Peter-Finch said in Double click not selecting all occurrences of a word:

downgrading to 8.2 fixed the issue and I can now open a 649MB log file and highlight text.

Glad you have a solution.

Might I suggest installing the “portable” version of 8.2 for this type of work, then you can also have the latest “installed” version for any other work if you require some of the latest features.

If you do so, then the installed version gets auto updated (if you have that setting), whereas the portable will never auto update.

I think some who operate this way also have the portable version colourized so status bar etc help them to realise which version they are running.

Thank You ill give it a try.

@Dedi said in Can NPP find my MinGW inside NPP Folder?:

@Ekopalypse
Thank you for your reply. I already found out how.

FYI, when you update NPP, assuming you put it under a different folder name, you will have to edit your script to match. If you use what @Ekopalypse suggested, you won’t have to:

ENV_SET PATH = $(NPP_DIRECTORY)\MinGW;$(NPP_DIRECTORY)\MinGW\bin NPP_SAVE cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) g++ -Wall $(FILE_NAME) -o $(NAME_PART) NPP_RUN cmd /k $(NAME_PART)

hope this helps

@PeterJones I had that file in the folder, but it was empty.
Because I’m paranoid enough to backup my APPDATA folder to multiple locations local as well as on NAS, I found the older file and just copied back in the contents into the empty file.

Now I see the following when going to execute NPPExec Script:

f02db324-3ae6-4f5f-9459-a794486c9492-image.png

Notepad++ 8.4.4 non-portable now starts up without error/console. Hooray!

Because I’m also using ExtSettings to modify the ascent/descent settings I’m probably doubling up on things but hey.

For the life of me I don’t know the original reason that NPP was failing to start, but for right now it’s working great and I’m happy.

Thank you both for your wisdom and assistance!

Dhry

@Chal-Chinehsoyo

see here for the news :-)

@don-Vickers-0

Realize your issue is just filter when opening, but if you’re opening CSV files you’re probably working with them - and hope you’re aware of 2 great CSV plugins for Notepad++:

Cheers.

@Игорь-Алексеев said in Изменение параметров выделенного текста:

And how can you get out of the situation?

There isn’t a “situation” to get out of. Text files have no concept of bold, so Notepad++ cannot make text in the text file bold. If you want to control presentation like that, a text file and a text editor are not the right format and tool for you. (I think you need to learn the difference between a text editor and a word processor.)

@PeterJones thanks so much for the information.

@Arman-2 ,

Depending on the permissions on the c:\program files\notepad++\plugins\ folder hierarchy (or equivalent), Notepad++ may try to remove the old GedcomLexer plugin, but not be successful. Your options at this point are 1) to right-click on Notepad++.exe and Run as Administrator, and see if that will allow it to fully uninstall the incompatible plugin; or 2) to delete the c:\program files\notepad++\plugins\Gedcom (or equivalent)

And it appears that a new version of GedcomLexer has been released which you can manually download and install, to make it compatible with Notepad++ v8.4-and-newer.
