    @peterjones It becomes a little messy if I can’t collapse sections around the child elements. There are a lot of classes and CLASS isn’t the only entity with this problem.

    I’m going to have to decide if that’s good enough or if I need to put more work into this. The whole purpose of this is that I need to start parsing some data from these files programmatically and the structure makes it very difficult to follow. The format doesn’t lend itself well to syntax highlighting.

    Your solution worked. I added the missing “/” in the second <thumb> part where it was needed and by using “replace all” it applied the lines in all entries.

    Thanks all for the replies :)

    @guy038 said in Parallel searching for 2 Names:

    SEARCH (?s-i)(?:(Name_1)|(Name_2)).{0,2000}?(?(1)(?2)|(?1))

    I think if you are making this into a generic formula, it should be:

    (?s-i)(?:(Name_1)|(Name_2)).{0,Max_chars}?(?(1)(?2)|(?1))

    Dear Mr. Kilborn -

    My word. Thank you so much for not only pointing out that I was asking about two different things but also for solving my issue. I’m so grateful. I’m going to try and work this out in my head so I understand this even though at my age its hard to concentrate on things like this. But I can still try.

    I hope you have a great day and find joy in helping this old guy work something out that IS way out of his (my) league.

    @valery-bogomolov ,

    This thread is becoming rather mixed-up.
    Please open an issue in NppGTags repo to discuss its autocomplete problem there.

    At first look it seems that the parser you are using (GTags maybe) is not recognizing some symbols in your codebase. AFAIR, the parser won’t be able to parse Unicode right if you are using it.

    @john-ellenberger ,

    In general, Notepad++ does update the time stamp when it writes a file… I have no problems with timestamps not being right when Notepad++ writes a file no matter where it’s written. This is likely because it’s not really Notepad++ that handles timestamps, but the OS interacting with the filesystem.

    That said, Microsoft applies magic to lots of their tools, and Sharepoint is probably no exception.

    Unfortunately, without access to a Sharepoint that I have write permission on (and without being able to figure out how to map a sharepoint location to Windows Explorer), I cannot replicate your problem.

    Given that every MS search location for “map sharepoint drive” says something to the effect of “Mapping a network drive uses WebDav, an older technology which is slower and less reliable than syncing SharePoint files with the new OneDrive sync client. …”, I think MS is moving away from mapped sharepoint drives. If you have the option of accessing your sharepoint through OneDrive instead, that might be more reliable (and in OneDrive, if you tell it to “always keep this file on my computer”, then Notepad++ should have no problem writing to it and keeping the timestamp up to date… at least, I have never had a file saved from Notepad++ to my OneDriveForBusiness location not save the timestamp correctly).

    Sorry I couldn’t give you a nice easy solution.

    @pasha-19 ,

    I must apologize for being obtuse.

    After looking into this report and this issue #11239, it looks like v8.3.1 is doing something weird with the UDL comment entries, but worked properly in v8.3 and earlier. I now think there was a regression in the UDL Comment handling in v8.3.1. Given the description you showed above – especially with the XML showing single-digit rather than double-digit in the tag value – I believe the problems you were having with Comment Line syntax are caused by the same issue.

    Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release of Notepad++ – until then, stick with v8.2.1. And again, sorry for not groking what you were trying to say.
