    Thanks for idea. I checked it out but unfortunately it misses the mark. The FULL_CURRENT_PATH is only the top Open file; not the one selected in the Folder As Workspace. So, I’d have to open the file first (a .jpg in the text editor, Ugh!, and then run the command by keystroke). Easier to right mouse-click and hit “Run By System”. I was just hoping to double click and get “Run By System” as the default.

    Thanks for taking a swing at it.
    More ideas welcomed!!

    @andrea-mark-shaw

    Clarifications are needed here.

    True or False: the duplicates will always be adjacent (= consecutive = one immediately following the other). You have sent mixed signals on this.

    True or False: when a duplicate is identified, the first of the pair is always to be preserved (kept, retained), and the second of the pair is always to be removed (deleted, discarded). This is implied but should be clearly stated.

    @alan-kilborn I’m sorry again. I try to do my best…
    Your formulation is perfect.
    Just a detail, ‘icon =’ is not important for me. So :
    For any other lines, leave them as they are after the ‘song_length =’ line in the output.

    Had to realize that errors can occur when indenting. So it’s best to avoid it.

    @john-english said in Default file name for save?:

    I’d prefer to save my energy to teach things that are worthwhile, not just bodging around problems in the tools they have to use.

    With this sort of attitude, it’s no wonder today’s students aren’t well-prepared for being out in the real world, dealing with problems that they will encounter.

    I don’t know…this whole thread is filled with your complaints about other tools that do things poorly, but you are taking out your frustrations on poor Notepad++, that is really only trying to give you a hint to give your files a good name (and not new 4.cpp, not new-4.cpp) when you save them. That point, which I’ve tried to make twice now, seems to be lost on you.

    Pity it’s such a non-obvious way to change a setting.

    Software developers don’t have infinite time to develop a nice and tidy solution that makes everyone happy, for everything that anyone might possibly want. On this one, if I were you, I’d be grateful that there is a way to do what’s wanted, even if “non obvious”.

    My prejudice is that too many programs do not handle spaces correctly, so it is they you should be delivering your lecture to, not me.

    So the people that are providing support for Notepad++ get chided, even though Notepad++ handles spaces just fine; nice.

    There really isn’t anything more to say here (it’s all too dumb), except “I’m blocking the poster”.

    Hi Peter,

    thank you for such a prompt reply: the ‘where’ command didn’t return any copies of the dll; I checked the NP++ directory - none there either; but it was an old version, installed from an ancient download. My bad!

    So I read your second suggestion, uninstalled the old version, and installed 8.2.

    Now it’s running like a dream, and I couldn’t be more grateful!

    Best regards, and have a great weekend.

    Cheers

    John

    One item of caution with the plugin; it’s Clear button has no confirmation. If an errant mouse click hits it, all your setup is gone (happened to me):

    @peterjones ,

    Thanks Peter. At least it explains it, so if anyone asks, I can just tell them it’s a NPP UDL thing. Was just wondering if it was anything I had to do to make it work. Thanks.

    @damien-moate ,

    Thanks for the before/after example; it helps us help you.

    The search engine (Find/Replace dialog) does not know how to count, so it cannot be done solely with find/replace.

    However, there are a couple of ways of doing it inside Notepad++, if you’re willing to use a plugin, or a multi-step process.

    If you like programming/scripting, you can use the PythonScript or similar plugins; there are examples of similar activities if you search the forum for add_1

    However, if you really have the <!-- --> comment lines every third line, as shown in your example, I would do the following:

    FIND = \R(?!\h*<!--), REPLACE = ☺, SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression This will condense each group of 3 lines into one long line. I picked ☺ because that’s not likely in your document already, and it will make the final step really easy If the first line is really indented differently than the others, as you’ve shown, then you will want to indent the first line to match. Use Alt+drag next to the --> on each line to “column select”:
