@Kamal-lochan-0 ,

how can i run and use this script ?

By following the clear, step-by-step instructions that you just linked to.

please provide the screen capture

That post you linked was pretty explicit about the steps necessary. But if screen captures are needed, I will intersperse them between the quoted version of the plain text instructions from that post:

Use Plugins admin to install the PythonScript plugin

Menu to Plugins > Python Script > New Script

512db8aa-3d1f-4e05-81b7-b0f4dbde84f1-image.png

Provide a (file) name for the script; you don’t need to specify an extension – .py will be added automatically Press the Save button to close out the Save As dialog box.

At this point your script file will be showing and is empty; copying and pasting one of the scripts from above seems like a fine idea :-)

after pasting, it will look like:

Please note: your post lost the leading spaces when you quoted the script. In Python, indentation carries meaning, so make sure you actually copy/paste the text from my post, not from yours that has lost the spaces. If you disregard this advice, it will not work. It should look like the screenshot above.

Save the file

or

To execute your script, menu to Plugins > Python Script >Scripts > (pick the name of your script)

563543d8-e217-4dc1-a504-7c7e069c391f-image.png

And after running that, you will have a file that looks like:

Those screenshots are just a direct translation of the text of Alan’s instructions into the application.

Appreciate the support !!awesome !!

@saibal-mukherrjee said in UNABLE TO SORT DATA IN THE ORDER AS IT SHOULD BE BY USING LINE OPERATION:

TWO LINES DATA WHICH MAKES ONE COMPLETE DATA

No surprise that the built in line sort will not help you. It does the sort assuming each line is 1 datum or record.

So the choices are:

Alter the lines so the built in sort will help Wait until someone possibly writes a sort function using python script or some other supported program language, or you learn how to do it.

Obviously option 1 is the better idea. With this it could be done in 2 ways.

Add enough of the first line to the start of the second line and then sort. This will keep the lines together, hopefully. Combine the 2 lines together as one line. This would involve adding a special character in between so you know where the original break in lines was. So after combining, sorting, then break at the special character.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Please help me! How do you remove a certain character that only comes at the end of a line? Please help me!:

Very similar solution. The ^ character represents the start of a line. These are very basic principles in regular expressions.
So Find What:^-

There’s a caveat with this one.
Say the line is like this: -------------I'm a line
Then a regex operation using ^- would affect ALL of the -, not just the first one.
HERE is another posting discussing an alternative technique to only handle the first character, when multiple of same are involved.

Oh.
Well, to be honest, I actually did want to remove all of them from the 1st and last line, and I think I just did ‘‘replace all’’ over and over again until they were all gone. Haha.
But, yeah, that’s useful for anyone that specifically needs to remove a certain character from the beginning, but wants to keep the same character.
Thank you!

@alexolog ,

See the config files: <Macros> section of the npp-user-manual.org site.

in the next release

Which @donho just released a few mintues ago (thanks!). So now my official docs link points to the explanation with more detail.

@PeterJones said in Regex pattern needed:

Or maybe I will find some time this evening.

Well, it was the next day, but…

My mistake in yesterday’s modified BSR = <a[^\s>]*> was including \s in the complement character class, which meant it had to be <a...> without any spaces, which obviously cannot match <a href="...">. Once I realized that, it was easy to fix.

BSR = <a[^>]*> ESR = </a> FR = %20 RR = \x20 (or literal space) FIND = (?-i:<a[^>]*>|(?!\A)\G)(?s:(?!</a>).)*?\K(?-i:%20) REPLACE = \x20 Final Transformation of my previous data:<a href="https://www.server.example/path/something%20with%20spaces">something with spaces</a> <a href="https://www.different.example/path/one%20space">one space</a> <a href="https://www.third.example/path/spaceless">spaceless</a>

Thank you @Alan-Kilborn for that explanation. I know and use the dot-matches-newline, and yes I should have specified it in my answer.

Thank you @guy038 so much, I used your method and got exact result I want. Great work !

I’m still trying to understand your method to know more about NPP.

Thanks again. Have a nice day !

@John-Smith-3 ,

UDL is nice, but it cannot handle every possible condition. I don’t think it will do that natively.

However, you can add extra highlighting to a User Defined Language (UDL) using regexes via the script EnhanceAnyLexer.py that @Ekopalypse shares in his github repo – so with installing the PythonScript plugin and using the linked solution, you could define a regex that will color text matching r'c\h+' (raw string, with c followed by horizontal space), or similar, in some way to indicate a cmoment.

@Alan & Peter: I see and understand your view. My low-information policy was based on the wish not to stress you all that much. So well, I’ll poke around and if I find a solution, of course, I’ll post it here.

Many thanks for your incentives and - not to forget: Happy Easter!

@Bernhard-Iceman

Afaik it is the nativeLang.xml which does get its content replaced with the chosen one.

Thank you Mr. Alan, I didn’t know.

@Alan-Kilborn Thank you too … now it’s clear ;-)

@PeterJones Thanks, it worked and solved my issue.
It really saved my time.

@Diana

This forum is about Notepad++, so you’ve asked your question in the wrong place to get help of the type of problem you’ve asked about.

@PeterJones
Thanks again Peter for your followup post with the link on how to repair for non-default themes! This is great and I learned something in the process!

@carlos-navarro

One way to get around this limitation is to use something like my EnhanceAnyLexer.py script.

@Vasile-Caraus ,

Here are some takeaways from this problem. Hopefully, you will remember these, and act accordingly in the future:

The documentation at https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/searching/ describes all the proper syntax for searching and replacements. In it, you would find the list of \-escapes that are allowed in the REPLACE WITH field (https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/searching/#substitution-escape-sequences). You will notice that the \s and \S are not valid sequences in that field, as @guy038 tried to explain. If you want to search for text that contains spaces, the space character or escape sequence must go in the FIND WHAT, not in the REPLACE WITH The quality of answers you receive is directly proportional to the quality of the question you ask

Other advice: you have been pointed to the documentation many times over your 5+ years of visiting this forum. You should take advantage of that resource, and read and study that document.

----

Do you want regex search/replace help? Then please be patient and polite, show some effort, and be willing to learn; answer questions and requests for clarification that are made of you. All example text should be marked as literal text using the </> toolbar button or manual Markdown syntax. To make regex in red (and so they keep their special characters like *), use backticks, like `^.*?blah.*?\z`. Screenshots can be pasted from the clipboard to your post using Ctrl+V to show graphical items, but any text should be included as literal text in your post so we can easily copy/paste your data. Show the data you have and the text you want to get from that data; include examples of things that should match and be transformed, and things that don’t match and should be left alone; show edge cases and make sure you examples are as varied as your real data. Show the regex you already tried, and why you thought it should work; tell us what’s wrong with what you do get. Read the official NPP Searching / Regex docs and the forum’s Regular Expression FAQ. If you follow these guidelines, you’re much more likely to get helpful replies that solve your problem in the shortest number of tries.

@Kacper-Kantarowski said in Moving Background:

I would like to make my background move as the page scrolls.

@PeterJones @Alan-Kilborn I think he’s actually referring to a webpage, possibly created within NPP and using NPP to open it in his web browser of choice. So he’s asking the question here about html code, how to change his code to fit his need.

@Kacper-Kantarowski this is a forum about Notepad++, not html coding. You’d be better off asking the coding question in a html forum.
