@madzilla You are completely right, it also seems to happen on my end whenever I am using Ringcentral BlueJeans app, no matter if I screenshare or not. Rebooting does the trick.

@ivan-k-0 said in Change a certain line in several documents with command/variables:

Is there any command to execute to change this line for each document?

It’s called regular expression search and replace.

Your method of describing your data is rather confusing. I don’t know whether those digits really prefix each line, or if you are just numbering the lines, or numbering the documents that contain that as line#6. Using the Template for Search/Replace questions mentioned below would have helped you communicate more clearly.

But I can come up with a solution that is agnostic of that prefix anyway.

If you want to replace any json ("edition": ###,) line with json ( "external_url":"https://example.com/?token_id=###",) then you can use
FIND = json \("edition": (\d+),\)
REPLACE = json \( "external_url":"https://example.com/?token_id=${1}",\)
SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression

If you have many such lines in the same file, but only want to replace the one on line 6, then change the FIND to \A(?-s:^.*$\R){5}\K^json \("edition": (\d+),\), which looks for the beginning of the file and 5 lines, then restarts the match.

If you allow other characters before the json prefix on line 6, you might have to tweak what comes after the \K to allow that. I will leave that as an exercise for the reader; give it a try using the docs below, and if you cannot figure it out, ask for hints.

@domwesker I know it’s a year later, but if I found this in a google search so can someone else. I just want to confirm the later replies here. This problem seem to stem from using Slack. In my case I had the go into task manager and stop ALL(sort by name since they tend to play hide and seek) Slack processes. Then simply close NP++ and re-open.

@henry-mosley See this.

@peterjones ,
THANK YOU for the reply.
Now, every time I upgrade, I am careful to empty the checkbox on the last dialog that would let me “open notepad++”. I just ask the install to finish without re-opening the app.
With this workaround is enough.

Thanks again.

Hello, @omar-salamah, @peterjones and All,

@omar-salamah :

Actually, here is your goal :

You have a first File1.xml file containing N pure blank lines

You have a second File2.xml file, below, containing M non-empty lines, with M <= N

<nominal>8</nominal> <min>4</min> <nominal>3</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>2</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>0</nominal> <min>0</min> <nominal>0</nominal> <min>0</min> <nominal>5</nominal> <min>4</min> <nominal>0</nominal> <min>0</min> <nominal>0</nominal> <min>0</min> <nominal>3</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>3</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>2</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>10</nominal> <min>8</min> <nominal>0</nominal> <min>0</min> <nominal>3</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>0</nominal>

And each non-empty line of File2.xml must replace the next pure empty line of File1.xml !

The @peterjones’s python script, of course, works correctly using the minimal layout of File2.xml, too

Best Regards,

@PeterJones thanks. I understand now the DECODE.

Notepad++ -> Menu -> Plugins -> Mime Tools -> Base64 Decode

Thanks for solution @guy038

Thank you for your insight. I added a PR for my other “wishes”.

@myles-carpeneto You might benefit from this.

@peterjones
Thank you.
Will try that.

@neculai-i-fantanaru

Try this:

<p class="pintem">(?:\W*\w+){3}\W*</p>

@mpheath said in how to run my python script using (pythonscript for npp) to multiple opened files:

from Npp import *

def forEachFile():
for file in notepad.getFiles():
notepad.activateBufferID(file[1])
notepad.getCurrentFilename()
editor.rereplace(‘unit_reward_per_km: ([0-9]+)’, times_2)
notepad.save()

def times_2(m):
return 'unit_reward_per_km: ’ + str(int(m.group(1)) * 2)

forEachFile()

Yea i copied alot to help myself out and it worked in one so i had to be close the printname was just something that was in a piece of code :P and forgot to remove it when i posted it here . Thank you !

@peterjones ,

Learning something every day. :)

@niels_bigger
I am happy now after adding the languages via MS Office :-)

@alij2022 said in Add a new text:

is there a way to indent the line as well like making it appear on the same line as the first one, with indentation?

Sure, you can add in some spaces or tabs after the \r\n; for a tab character you can use \t.

This was turned into a real issue HERE.

I posted a PythonScript solution there.

@åke-göransson

Yes, see the user manual HERE. You want to use the filepath part.

@bernard

This seems like the same issue reported with Notepad++ v7.9.2 (64-bit):

#9433 Autocomplete makes notepad++ unable to keep up with typing.

an empty (context menu?) box flash for a second

I have submitted a Pull Request to fix:

#11460 Fix autocomplete may show empty list.

@peterjones Thanks,
Yes, that helped, but in any case, I have 2 UDL-s loaded in the tool, and every time I change the npp theme, I need to run the keyboard shortcut in order to change the UDL. I thought the script will automatically change the UDL based on the Dark/Light mode of NPP. But in any case, your suggestions were very helpful. Thanks. I figured the PythonScript plugin out.

Great, this helps a lot. Thanks :-)
