Hi, @wing-yang, @peterjones, @mapje71 and All,

In the last part of my previous post, I proposed a regex which does not use any conditional statement :

(?x) ^ [^(\r\n]* (?: \( (\d{3}) \) | (?1) - ) (?1) - \d{4}

However, this regex can simply be improved by using the @peterjones’s look-behind structure, instead of the negative class character :

(?x) (?<!\() (?: \( (\d{3}) \) | (?1) - ) (?1) - \d{4}

which allows to get several occurences in a single line, as below :

abc (123)456-7890 def 123-456-7890 ghi

@PeterJones said in How find in selection by key alt? Hello.:

But trying to search across multiple rows in the rectangle

I would think that anything the developers implemented for rectangular selection searching/replacing could have the caveat that each row (the selected part) is independent and you can’t search across rows with it.

And that’s what my replace-all script assumes as well.

IMO, that kind of thing (the possibility to search/replace across rows defined by the rectangular selection), is NOT what has prevented the developers from adding the feature to date.

@Peter-Hellen ,

Are you on the same computer, or different computers? Or did you re-install Notepad++ or update NppCrypt between uses?

I seem to remember that NppCrypt did a major update at some point…

… searching for NppCrypt posts … ahh, there, this post links to a FAQ by the NppCrypt author that might be of use to you.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks - that worked a treat. My problem was not that I couldn’t read but that I thought the two files had to replace others in the zip file I had downloaded and there were no .dll files to replace.
Again, thanks for your help!

@PeterJones the expression worked, i had to check “Reguläre Ausdrücke” instead of “Erweitert”. thanks Jones =)!

@Chan-Tao ,

See this note from the author

Yes. I’ve pointed this out before, myself.
I think the predatory ads key on the real word “download” on the site, and do their “dirty work” because of that.
It is often a sad world we live in. :-)

@Steffan-Rhoads ,

I created issue #12079 asking for a fix to allow temporarly-missing files to stay in the session.

@PeterJones I didn’t think of checking the command line, thanks! The error appeared there, too. This might be the first time I’ve been glad to see a module error – thank you!

It turns out a program I had also had python.exe, and Notepad++ was using that Python instead. Uninstalled the program, MatPlotLib works perfectly! Thank you!

@Andi-Kiissel said i:

With WordWrap=ON this script behaves differently than Scintilla End/Shift+End default, but that’s OK for me

I considered this case, but I didn’t see an easy way to handle it.
As line “breaks” caused by word-wrap are artificial, it would be extremely rare for me to want to move to one.
So wrap consideration got defeatured from the spec for this problem. :-)

@PeterJones Thank you! That is exactly what I needed.

@Martin-Mortensen said in Notepad ++ install won't run on this computer:

I just got a new computer and tried to install Notepad++ I get the message “This app can’t run on your PC” I’m trying to run npp.8.4.4.Installer.x64.exe.

And I was wondering if possibly (given it’s a new PC) that Windows is running in S mode. If so, only apps from the Microsoft Store will install. However the error message (if what you gave is accurate) doesn’t appear to match what I thought it would say.

However to check, read this Microsoft page.

@Faraz-Ketabi
Thanks a lot.

@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.

@Cubilas

I assume you want something like this.

@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.

Thanks to everyone for their replies.
Again, we fixed this issue.

@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:
