Hi, @cmeriaux, @peterjones, @alan-kilborn, @arkadiuszmichalski and All,

So, I"m going on testing some examples of text, dealing with replacements, bookmarks and replacement modifiers ! Note that I did not consider the Admin case, rather identical !

First, I used the @sasumner’s file data8279.txt ( 300,000 lines ) and I performed two types of text :

A global replacement of (?-s)^.*NotepadPP.*\R with Nothing, with the Wrap around option ticked ( First table, below )

A mark operation of the string NotepadPP, with the Bookmark line and Wrap around option ticked, but not the Match case one, followed with a Search > Bookmark > Remove Bookmarked Lines operation ( Second table, below )

203,236 occurrences were deleted or were marked then deleted !

In the second table, I decomposed the total time in two parts :

Time to bookmark the lines

Time to delete these lines

I summarized the two values before calculating the ratio x32/x64

Interpretation of the results :

If xe except the special case of the v8.0 version, the results are very similar, for the two tables :

In the first case, the more complicated regex (?-s)^.*NotepadPP.*\R decrease a bit the ratio between the x32 and x64 versions

In the second case, both the mark operation and the deletion of lines have an impact, but the ratio between the x32 and x64 versions is a bit better

Note that, regarding the v8.0 version, in the second table, the performance regression comes from the bad results of the mark operation only !

I performed a last test, using the same Search and Replace regexes than in my initial issue :

https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/9636

So the regex S/R :

SEARCH \w

REPLACE \U$0

I, then, created a file containing 1,000 lines ( every odd ones ) with the French text :

C’est là, près de la forêt, dans un gîte, où régnait un grand capharnaüm, que l’aïeul ôta sa flûte et son bâton de son canoë.

And I added 1,000 English lines ( every even ones ) :

Here is a example of text, containing the complete French set of accentuated characters, traditionally used.

After replacement, 184,000 occurrences have been modified :

Interpretation of the results :

Again, if we except the special case of the v8.0 version :

The results, whatever the version, are quite similar, for each case ( x32 and x64 )

The ratio x32/x64 is similar to the one of my previous post ( ~ 2.52 ) !

@peterjones thanks for all your help!

is there a marked as Solved for this forum?

@astrosofista said in Sorting columns numerically:

Sort Lines as Integers Ascending

Thanks a lot, works flawlessly!

@kovu-cougar

See HERE.

@danz4c ,

That’s the way it’s designed.

If you want to get empty lines indented as well, use column select (alt+drag) on the zeroth column, then hit TAB.

@mas-cas ,

See my answer to last week’s “Unreadable lines when comparing in dark mode”

@patrick-donovan said in black boxes on all files I open:

Not a very techy guy

I think that’s going to have to improve dramatically for you to get very far. :-)

@neil-schipper thanks.

WORKS:

Regex Search: https://website\.com/en\w{1,}

Bookmarks are saved as part of the “session”.
If you close a file, it gets removed from the session, and when reopened, it looks like a new file to the session (thus no bookmarks).

There’s a demo PythonScript HERE that could be “rounded out” to pseudo-provide a load/save extension for bookmarks.

For me, and I presume most users, the capability in Notepad++ currently is enough.

@peterjones First of all, I’m sorry for my incompetence to provide neccessary data - I mean it. I wrote my response in a hurry and wrongly supposed that you didn’t catch the link to my previous post (sorry for that also) and thought that info in that post is enough.
None of this is your problem and I donť want to make any excuses for this behaivour…just for clarification.

And BIG THANKS that you spent your time with replying despite everything above! Your guess was correct and provided solution does exactly what I need.

So sorry again and thank you also. Next time, if I’ll need some advice in the future, I’ll try to specify my needs better and provide test data in the first place.

@mrde50ae said in "Compare" adds an empty line:

Compare plugin 1.5.6.2,

I’m not even sure where you got that version.
The current repo, https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/releases, shows v2.0.0 and v2.0.1.

The older repo, under the previous developer, https://github.com/jsleroy/compare-plugin/tags, has v1.5.4, v1.5.5, and v2.0.0

Please note : Notepad++ v7.7 from 2019 included a major upgrade to “Scintilla”, the underlying code for the text editor panes correction: to the API that plugins use to communicate with the Notepad++ application; that update meant that some plugins had to update their code to be compatible with those changes. “Compare v2.0.0 for Notepad++ 7.7” was the release of the plugin for Notepad++ v7.7 and newer; no version of Compare plugin released before that special v2.0.0-release are expected to work with Notepad++ v7.7 or newer.

So if any version of Compare Plugin prior to that special v2.0.0 work at all with your Notepad++ 7.9.1, it’s by chance, not by design. And really, you should be using the newest v2.0.1 for the best compatibility with Notepad++.

@peterjones
Ahhh… Gotcha! Thank you for the clarification. Makes sense.

@qishq-42 said in not sure if this can be done...:

im looking for a way to make this simpler is that possible?

Yes, it’s called programming.

Regex doesn’t have the concept of counting that your desired algorithm requires. You either have to set up the N! conditionals in the regex, or you have to use a tool – like a programming language – that handles counting and other such conditional tasks much more simply than can be done in regular expressions.

So this is a good discussion thread, but the choice to use literal 1, 2, 3 in the examples IMO wasn’t the best for the utmost clarity. :-)

@leif-johansen
I think the " HTML Tag plugin" solve my problem

@dennis-bareis
Not that I know of, but then again, I’m new to this aspect of UDL’ing also, however, the one thing that I did learn from reading that document about the UDL, is that you need to play with it to make sure your UDL is functioning properly.

For instance, if you have nested parenthesis, you need to set up the nesting properly, or it will continue highlighting if say, you had a nested parenthesis starting inside another parenthesis and you didn’t have it set to next…and may continue highlighting or not, until it hit the second one. That seems to be part of the matching brace aspect of NPP, but if the kewords, parens, braces…etc aren’t properly set up to nest properly, it will continue highlighting text you think shouldn’t be.

When you get a chance to get back to it, you may see what I’m saying. :-)

Good Luck.

Lee

@neil-schipper Thank you, I’ll try it

Thanks @peterjones! That explains why I’m only seeing this on one of my laptops … the one where I’m also running Slack…
