    @qwertz_1234 ,

    Natively, no. Notepad++ is a text editor, not a spreadsheet. Open your text file in Excel or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc or some other spreadsheet application, do the math, and save it again.

    If you are willing to use a scripting plugin for Notepad++, it can be done, with more work. The Mathematical Replacement FAQ has all the details you need if you are willing to put in the effort yourself.

    When I said before:

    There is a method for organizing related scripts into subfolders, but it requires some additional code in startup.py to make that work.

    For more detail on that, see HERE.

    @kolos-1212 said in Notepad++ took over my Win 10 Notepad w/o my permission "Please reinstall Notepad Starter":

    @Ekopalypse It did happen to me as well. I downloaded it from Admin Plugins so I guess it is official if I can directly access it from notepad++.

    Official was used in the context of “developed by the npp developer”, so, no, this plugin is/was developed by someone else.

    I surely didn’t want something like this to happen and I am wasn’t really reading what it does I just needed it for some function to test lol.

    I don’t understand, what other functionality does this plugin have? Hmm … sounds like you are the perfect candidate for scammers and the like. Be careful.

    @Terry-R
    Your explanation is very enough.
    By doing as you said, the plugin worked without any problems in the portable version.
    Thank you for this.

    Also, I couldn’t explain myself well because my English is not very good. I apologize for that too.

    @lcy10311 ,

    For example, it works just fine for me:

    You might want to check that your current theme defines the styles reasonably:

    @Istanbullu ,

    converts wrongly (as i to I and vice versa).

    The i you have entered is U+0069 (“LATIN SMALL LETTER I”, also ASCII 105) and is always defined as lowercase. The I you have entered is U+0049 (“LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I”, also ASCII 73), and is always defined as uppercase. As far as I know, it is always correct for a case conversion process to convert one to the other (as they are an upper/lower pair in the latin-based alphabets, as far as I understand it).

    The İ is U+0130 (“LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE”), and that one is considered uppercase/capital in Unicode definition; the ı is U+0131 (“LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I”) and is considered lowercase/small in Unicode. However, I am not an expert on the capitalization/lowercasization (not a word, I know) rules for the non-ASCII characters, so I don’t know if Unicode defines pairs for the case-conversion on those characters or not.

    If you find official Unicode documentation that explains the rules for case conversion on those U+0130 and U+0131 characters (or that gives an exception for circumstances when U+0049 and U+0068 are not a pair with each other), then you can read the feature request/bug report FAQ and follow the instructions there on where to put in official feature requests / bug reports. In your official bug report, you will need to request that the development team improve the case-conversion features, and you will need to provide that reference to the developers, and explain the “correct behavior” as you understand it).

    (Aside: I moved your topic from Plugins Development to Help Wanted, because it was not a plugin question.)

    @Tyler-Durden-0 said in Japanese font not displaying in notepad++:

    It has .nfo extension but content is XML, if it helps finding the solution.

    There’s your problem. Notepad++ is hardcoded to interpret .nfo file as OEM-US, because that is the official encoding of the historic DOS-era .nfo files.

    If it’s really an XML file, change the extension before opening it in Notepad++

    FIND = \R
    REPLACE = $0$0
    SEARCH MODE = regular expression
    REPLACE ALL

    This can be recorded as a macro and assigned to a keyboard shortcut for easy use.

    @Andrey-Fedorchuk ,

    UDL wasn’t really intended for “phrases”; it was meant as a simple keyword/operator highlighter. In certain fields (the folding fields and the delimiter fields), you can put double-quotes around phrases so that the space will be part of the folding-trigger or delimiter… but I don’t know of a way that allows embedding quotes inside a multi-word phrase. Sorry.

    You might want to look into the AnalysePlugin – it’s reason for existing is to make navigating/searching/highlighting large logfiles easier.

    Alternately, the EnhanceAnyLexer will allow you to change the foreground color of strings matching regexes, so if you have an OpenWRT UDL, then making a [OpenWRT] section in the EnhanceAnyLexer config will allow you to define regex-based rules, which could use a regex like ^Successful ping of the target.*$ for matching any line starting with those… or if you want only the exact, then do the exact line.

    I presume you didn’t create this file, but rather were given it or obtained it from somewhere.

    I don’t know much about css, but I’d presume that it isn’t required to have line-ending characters.

    two alternatives are
    a) using NppExec and its option to Execute this script when Notepad++ starts
    or
    b) a scripting language plugin like PythonScript

    @VenomNihil said in Replace variable chain of text then adding pattern before and after:

    the ^ doesn’t work with the spacing but I supposed is because I posted a screenshot. But just using " item " instead does the job.

    Yes, it is tough to work from a screenshot; that’s why we have suggestions to not post them for this type of problem, or to post both a screenshot and the literal text. Apparently we failed to noticed this part of your original posting:
