@Donatas-Mačiūnas said in [7.8.6] Closing tabs order.:

the settings section explicitly notes in the title/label that this behavior applies to Ctrl+TAB

Isn’t hardcoding “Ctrl+Tab” on the user interface a “bad thing”??
I mean, I can assign any (unrelated) function I want to “Ctrl+Tab”…and now that verbage on that setting in the Preferences doesn’t make any sense, because now my Ctrl+Tab combo opens up an Explorer window (for example).

This seems odd. If a program is going to take over Ctrl+Tab for a specific purpose, that’s fine, but it should be disallowed to use that combination for other things in Shortcut Mapper then…

In addition you can check if your %appdata%\notepad++\backup directory contains something usable.

it can also be so

^([^:\n]+)(:)((?1))

@Donald-Milotte

That is normal. Npp is not MS Word where style information is stored in the file.
Npp is a pure text editor. The reason why for example python code is
always displayed in color is that there is a so-called lexer which scans the
file according to previously created rules and colors it accordingly.
For files that can not be assigned to a builtin lexer you can create UDLs, user defined lexers.
Whether this is useful in your case or not, I can not say from the given information.

@Sebastjan

without knowing what the second half should be it is hard to tell what can be done in addition.

Does anyone can give me some hints from where to start?

Well I’d say you are going to have to merge the 2 files if you want regex (regular expression) to do the work. That’s not as bad as it sounds. There have been several discussions in the past on this forum regarding similar needs to yours. I think most have had solutions found using just regexes.

The alternative would be a scripting language, Python is one amongst many that Notepad++ supports. But the issue here will be to have someone create a program for you in that language or will you need to learn it yourself.

In broad terms I’d:

Make the several lines in each file become one for each “record” Sequence up an ascending number at the start of each line, sort of a line number, odds for 1 file, evens for the other. The lines in file 1 may not be required to have an ascending number at the front but I’ve included it for the time being. Have at the front of each line in both files the appropriate sequences of text you will be using to find the lines. Sort the lines (once both files merged) in ascending order. This will “pair” records together. Use a regex to update the record in the line from file 2 from it’s “pair”. Use a regex to remove the lines from file 1 and to also remove the “sort text” at the front of line. Sort the lines again with the “line number” from step 2. This will put them back in “original order”. Pull apart the lines so they look as they did originally, but now with the additional information you wanted added.

I replied to someone else recently that often a “BIG” problem like yours looks insurmountable. That is until we break it down into little steps, each then becomes fairly simple to code.

Dear Peter,

this was the information I needed; now the macro works fine.

Lots of thanks to all who (tried) to help me.

I don’t think you’re using the regex backwards search.
At least the screenshot doesn’t show that you do as you have to tick
the little checkbox next to Find Next button to see the forward and backward search buttons.

But I don’t think it is needed in your case.
Strange that this basic regex is not working in your case, are you sure
you haven’t, by accident, added an additional space to find what?
Or maybe this document is using linux eol instead of windows eol?

That fixed it! Thank you so much @Ekopalypse!

@PeterJones
Holy cow, I am incredibly embarrassed. I have my screen setup with notepad++ in the upper left corner and when I go to preferences, what I pasted into my post was all I was seeing. After I saw your post I did it again and scooted the window over and – well, thanks for helping me find what was there all along…

@Rob-K ,

I just said:

FIND = (?i-s)^\h*https?://test.domain\S* REPLACE = $0 new stuff

The FIND would be better as:

FIND = (?i-s)^\h*https?://test\.domain\S*

Quick explanation of the regex:

the stuff in parentheses set up options to make it case insensitive and to not let . match newline

^ means the match starts at the beginning of the line

\h* allows 0 or more horizontal spaces (tabs and space characters) before the url

https?:// allows either http or https

\. escapes the ., so it means a literal domain separator, not the regex wildcard character

\S* means that there can be 0 or more additional non-space characters after the domain; since the end-of-line sequence counts as space character, it will stop at the end of the line if there’s nothing after the URL

$0 in the REPLACE means the entire matched text – so everything from beginning of line to just before the first space (or end-of-line).

new stuff indicates the new text you want to add

This means that the replacement will still include the original URL, plus the new stuff.

@Laurent-Cnoname

Not as far as I know. You could of course turn off the word wrapping
but you probably have that on to avoid horizontal scrolling, haven’t you?

this is it:

I just created a list of files using defraggler and npp showed the same behavior. When I tried to open it in microsoft notepad although it took a lot longer the data was intact. I know its a bit late but if have u tried notepad to read your “important” codes?

@JACKCHEN213

There is an udl for golang here.

@Mark-Tinney-0 said in Python runs differently in NPP Exec Console vs Windows Console.:

prefix = ’ ’
body = ‘┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐’
suffix = ’ ’

print(prefix+body+suffix)

Is this something you have under your control?
If so, you could create a unique environment variable and check this from your script.
Something like this.

In NppExec execute you do

NPP_SAVE $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) set_env CALLED_FROM_NPP_EXEC=1 D:\ProgramData\Python\Python_embed_382_64\python.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" env_unset CALLED_FROM_NPP_EXEC

and in python script you do

import os print(f'{"CALLED_FROM_NPP_EXEC" in os.environ = }')
