@peterjones - thanks for the point-out
I forgot about the overrideMap.xml file.
I copied that over and it is now working as before

Thanks!

@peterjones I’ve just check, it was disabled, now it works just well, thanks!

@andre-bergmann said in How to create textblocks in a LOG file:

So I can save a couple of hours I’ve not to reard hugh LOG files to find the main tags.

This phrase makes me want to suggest something I’ve discovered to be useful recently: the Analyse plugin. It isn’t quite the same, but I think its original design was to make log file data easier to visually process. Just a suggestion.

@neil-schipper Thanks.

@peterjones

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!!

@peterjones I am using the Plugin XML tools and Transforming with an XLST similiar to the second body of code in the original post.

I will Check into the Python thing.

@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.

WARNING !
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”.

@peterjones

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

@peterjones

Nice, better advice. :-)

Brilliant, I’ve just tested and it works perfectly. Thanks for the quick response.

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):

I’m always afraid this same thing will happen to me in N++ with Close all tabs to the right. It hasn’t yet, but…

@james-wisecup said in Styles are different yet same app version.:

so i can just copy those two files from one sys to another and that might fix it, right?

Right

@terry-r
Ok so, what you said didn’t work. they were indeed the same file. However, i redownloaded everything again and it now suddenly works. Thanks for trying to help me tho.

@alan-kilborn said in capitalize all words contained between two specific words:

find: (?-is)(?<=<title>)(.+?)(?=</title>)
repl: \U$0
mode: regular expression

it works!!! perfect!!!
many many thanks!

@ekopalypse said in Search and replace:

^\d+ NAME\h*$

Thank you this works fine for me.
Problem solved.

@ekopalypse
Thank you guys! Keyboard shortcuts seemed to work better for some reason. Finally got this to work :)
