    @Coises I found the solution before my post was even allowed by the moderation team , I make websites my client is an official partner of x website and is allowed to sell their products , and is way faster to scrape them and import them than ask them for the exported products since the sites are made in different platforms

    @Mostafa-Kamal ,

    if it’s a one-time action, @Terry-R’s suggestion is spot on, and you don’t need to read my post.

    However, if it’s an action you are going to take a lot, I would suggest recording a macro:

    Macro > Start Recording Search > Mark FIND WHAT: \d{3}$ (this assumes it’s always a digit, like in your example; if it is just the last three characters, whether it’s digit or not, then .{3}$ instead Uncheckmark Bookmark line Checkmark Purge for each search Mark All Copy Marked Text Clear all marks Close File > New Edit > Paste Macro > Stop Recording Macro > Save Current Recorded Macro Give it a name that makes sense to you (CopyLastDigitsToNewFile or something) Give it a keyboard shortcut if desired.

    From now on, you can run the macro to copy those last digits/characters to a new file.

    @Alex-Martin said in My First Taste Of HTML Code:

    How on earth do you download Notepad plus plus?

    You go to the official downloads page, find the most recent version (at the top, currently v8.7.1), and on the page for that, click the “installer” link (which for v8.7.1 is here). Once you have the installer, you have to run it.

    Ive tried it 3 times, the last 2 versions, and nothing
    shows up on windows.

    Sounds like user error to me.

    Zed Shaws book ruby the hard way, page 7. Stuck on 1. Where is the program???

    Finding the table of contents for that book online, and seeing that it’s the “getting things setup” instructions, I am assuming it suggests Notepad++ (which is awesome). But I have no idea what instructions it might give, or why you are having difficulty following those instructions.

    BTW: Your question had nothing to do with the blog post you replied to; you should have created a new question in “Help Wanted” instead of replying to an unrelated discussion. As a result, I moved it from there to here.

    @IronWalkers ,

    Language > I > INI file

    a97dc2ec-7270-424f-9454-73c8ae1f75c8-image.png

    Though if you have any = in the “textlines under the [name]”, the = will be red and the text to the left will be blue italics (in the default styerls.xml theme; your selected/customized theme may use different colors):
    335c9aac-8799-4504-9152-0d64750c4dc9-image.png

    If you don’t like the = behavior , then you could define a simple UDL instead of using the built-in INI language: in Language > User Defined Language > Define your language, create a new language (named AI Music or something); leave most as the default settings, but on the Operators & Delimiters page, for Delimiter 1 style, set Open = [ and Close = ], and set the Styler to your preferred color (bold and purple to match INI, or whatever you want).

    @Joel-Bridgham said in Copy MS Word endnote text to Notepad++:

    Is there a way to do this?

    You need to understand that the endnote function in MS Word has no parallel in Notepad++. It acts in a similar fashion to a hyperlink. So as the endnote text doesn’t actually appear alongside the words you are copying you will not be able to copy in a single step all that you want.

    I did a few basic tests with endnotes including saving the Word file as “plain text”. Unfortunately it still didn’t place the reference alongside the text that referred to it. So you will need to identify yourself what might work as obviously what you have currently tried will not work. You might even consider creating a Word macro to find each reference link, then copy that endnote and pasting alongside the text that referenced it. Essentially you will be removing the endnotes by moving that endnote to it’s rightful place. As this would be a destructive process I’d say work on a copy of the file.

    Notepad++ is a text editor so obviously works in a completely different way to Word which is a word processor.

    Terry

    PS a quick Google search found this website (a MSoffice forum no less). See here. I will leave it up to you to read, decipher and consider if it is what you want to try. As it’s not about Notepad++, further discussions on this Word function isn’t permitted here. Good luck.

    @CptTwinkie, @rwblues

    The flickering probably means that DirectWrite rendering is not enabled:

    SciTE is another Scintilla editor with the same issue when DirectWrite is off (meaning, the technology option is 0).

    @Atheriol

    Sorry you feel that way. I said my response was intended as constructive. Notepad++ is full of lots of options and as I said, in order to understand and use them you need to have the basics sorted. You admit to not realising the difference between overtype and insert options. That is a basic premise of computer work.

    I wish you well.

    The Template for Search/Replace FAQ, and the Formatting Forum Posts FAQ (linked below) explain more about how to format your posts for asking these kinds of questions.

    And the URL for the User Manual’s regex section will be indispensable for someone trying to actually learn how Notepad++ regex work.

    Thank you so much for the links. (I hope I won’t give up.)

    @SJW-SJW-SJW said in Search results filtering:

    How can I filter the search to ignore /vendor and /.git or any other directory which is irrelevant?

    The best method is to read the relevant portion of the manual. The online reference is here.

    There are a lot of settings which is why I suggested the online manual. It explains things much better than I can.

    On testing the above, I observed that both the above regular expressions work only for tags or strings that begin with a < and end with a > - so if you are searching for a string between inverted commas, to find the first string, you should use the regular expression (?s)\A.*?\K"string(?:.*?)?"
