@guy038 said in Delete the entire content of all files with less than 100 words: \A[^\w]*(?:\w+[^\w]+){0,4}(?:\w+[^\w]*)?\z My joy is that, thanks to my regex, an alternative method has been discovered, quite good. thank you @guy038

@susanne-senger said in Notepad++ link in SendTo Folder does not work any more: if I highlight some files (up to 8) Did you try with just ONE file? Does that work? (refer to Peter’s post where he says You also mentioned “a bunch of files”… which you clearly didn’t read…)

Could you provide a screenshot illustrating the issue, so we can see where the cut-off happens? Do you have DirectWrite active in the Notepad++ preferences?

@drawing-with-jakob-dam said in Theme creation: How to choose separate color for...: I’ve tried to copy the line to the HTML section and given it a unique styleID, but it didn’t work. Unfortunately, you cannot just arbitrarily copy XML from one language’s settings to another. Well, you can, but it won’t do anything. Each language’s lexer has its own bit of code that decides what will and what won’t be syntax highlighted; it reads the XML configuration for that language, and on the StyleID’s that it recognizes, it applies the styling defined by that line of XML to the sequences that match what that lexer is coded to match for that StyleID… but if you define a StyleID that the lexer doesn’t recognize, it won’t do anything with that definition, because there is no line of code in the lexer that does anything with that StyleID.

@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. -— Useful References Please Read Before Posting Template for Search/Replace Questions FAQ: Where to find regular expressions (regex) documentation Notepad++ Online User Manual: Searching/Regex

@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. Marcelo

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, guy038

@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.

@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. :)

@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.
