@Neil-Schipper

Isn’t the number of “paragraphs” simply the number of files then?

OP did not ask for paragraph count.

Correct. I was merely commenting on that, not supplying any kind of “solution” for it.

<run of non-periods><period> is not a great definition of a sentence due to false positives with decimal numbers.… among other things.

We know this… I was wanting the OP to try the solution and point this out, at which time we would explain that they are pretty much asking for an impossible task…at least with what Notepad++ can do.

However, if the need is not for a 100% exact count, but possibly one that is somewhat close, simple algorithms might work.

@Jose-Emilio-Osorio The (many!) sort commands are located under (menu) Edit -> Line operations.

@PeterJones said in Error in page display:

the pilcrow symbol ¶ on the toolbar

That word is new to me, thanks. It also has quite a cute synonym, paraph:

The pilcrow, ¶, is a typographical character that marks the start of a paragraph. It is also called the paragraph mark (or sign or symbol), paraph, or blind P.

So I learned two new words today. It remains to be seen if I’ll still know them in 3 days…

@Aaron-Bishdou Treat the tuning of a Find & Replace operation as a separate and preliminary task before thinking about macros. It is rare to have to examine npp’s representation of F&R ops in shortcuts.xml at all.

The transformation you are hoping for does not seem complex. If you want help, show explicitly the expressions you are trying in the Find and the Replace fields along perhaps with optional settings in the F&R dialog.

Also, think about whether your sample text captures all the anticipated variation (field names & lengths) in your log files.

@PeterJones
TY. I’ll have to familiarize myself with Putty’s built-in tool. Failing that, I’ll try the Plugin’s forum.

Hmm, the Openssh-sftp-server had vanished from the afflicted router. That’s odd. Reinstalling that package fixed the folder display issue.

@PeterJones solved, thank you REALLY much <3

The same problem here:

@Michael-Vincent Thanks! It worked!

@Brennan-OBrien ,

Well, the easiest way is to install the HTML Tag Plugin, which has buttons which do just that.

But if you’re really thinking about the generic procedure, rather than the <a>...</a> wrapping specifically, you could record a macro:

Select Text Macro > Start Recording Cut (Ctrl+X or menu equivalent) type <a> paste (Ctrl+V or menu equivalent) type </a> Macro > Stop Recording Macro > Save Current Recorded Macro optionally assign a keyboard shortcut that you will remember.

From then on, using that macro (from the Macro menu or from the keyboard shortcut) will place the selected text between <a>...</a>. Since the macro is saved in shortcuts.xml, it will still be available the next time your run Notepad++.

(Please note that this macro does clobber your current clipboard contents; if this bothers you, using the HTML Tag plugin will be better)

@inu20 said in Notepad++ is getting slower:

After one of instance been closed, a new Notepad++ process created and running in the background, and as the screenshot at the original post, the list might increases over than 10 processes in a day and can only be killed one by one by manually or by restart the PC.

I cannot replicate that, even when I switched to “always start in new instance” checked to try to replicate your experience. When I start a new instance (whether it’s by using Windows Explorer to open a file in Notepad++, or whether I move or copy the active tab in one Notepad++ instance into a new instance), a new notepad++.exe shows up in my task manager. But as soon as I exit that instance (File > Exit, or clicking on the window close-X in the upper right), the task is closed and my task manager shows one fewer notepad++.exe in the list.

I see that your original screenshot showed a lot of plugins. You might try seeing if running without plugins (use the -noPlugin option when you launch Notepad++) fixes the problem. If it does, you can narrow it down to see which plugin is causing the problem. You also might try upgrading to v8.4.6.

@Amigo-Barrio as Ekopalypse already stated you need to look for some kind of pattern to identify what has to be removed. In your case you have a fixed URL followed by some arbitrary digits followed by the name of a .jpg image. You may achieve the replacement using a Regular Expression (regex for short). The following will pick the entire URL, extract the fixed part and the .jpg name and re-join them omitting the digits:

Search for: (https://dev.umb-schiffsmodelle.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/)\d+/(.+.jpg)
Replace with: $1$2

To fine-tune the regex you may want to have a look at this FAQ.

@PeterJones

Thanks

@PeterJones Hi, thank you very much i added Autosave plugin and all works good. But i remember i already added this plugin earlier, but i do not know how this plugin was removed.

Hello, @jijo,

Easy with regexes !

So, open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

SEARCH (data#1191 )\(dodo\).+

REPLACE \1dodo

Tick the Wrap aound option

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click once on the Replace All button

Voila !

Best Regards

When you find your macros becoming large and unwieldy, it may be time to move to scripting. Notepad++ has some excellent scripting plugins, in Python and Lua. But…scripting isn’t for everyone.

@PeterJones ,
I’m using Notepad++ 8.4.6. on Windows 10 Pro 22H2.

@Kevin-Golde said in Display Change History setting affects Printing:

Has anyone else had this problem?

Our Change History FAQ describes that problem, and links to the existing bug report for the problem.

@PeterJones Thanks Peter, I can work with that - I think I’ll use the portable zip version then (strange that I didn’t notice this before, thanks!).

@Wawuschel

What’s your plugin list look like?
Paste Debug Info here.

@Alan-Kilborn why should I flame your posting in my thread???
…
Well listen, you were right.
Thank you for your contribution and have a good day my friend.
