  • Encoding TXT UTF8NoBom -> UTF8

    Just read better the title.
    Moving from UTF8 wo/BOM to UTF8 w/BOM is not a conversion. All that need to be done is add 3 BOM bytes to the beginning of the file. Just be sure not to add them twice. So basically create a 3 byte file with BOM and do something like (I don’t remember the exact copy syntax of Windows):
    copy bom.txt+file.txt file_new.txt

    Read this to understand Unicode and encoding. You should realize that UTF8 w/BOM is a pretty stupid concept. So unless you need to feed your file into an application that requires UTF8 BOM stay with UTF8 wo/BOM.

    Yes, there is, and it’s called the PythonScript plugin.
    Probably any other scripting plugin can do this too.

    Here is an example of what it might look like.

    names = [ 'HARRY', 'RON', 'HERMIONE', ] template = ''' STUDENT {0} IS: NAME: {0} ID: 1-{0}-2 BIOGRAPHY: {0}'s biography follows. ''' editor.appendText('\r\n'.join([template.format(x) for x in names]))

    Hello, @vasile-caraus and All,

    In fact, I’m presently on holidays ! Thus, my concentration is not at top level ;-))

    So, here is the true story ! When using, for the second regex S/R, the simplified form :

    SEARCH (?s)<meta\x20name="keywords"\x20content="\K(\w+)|\G[^\w\r\n]+(\w+)

    The first alternative <meta\x20name="keywords"\x20content="\K(\w+) should be used first, in order to detect the first word after the string content="

    However, if before running the S/R, the caret is at a location before some non-words chars, followed themselves by some words chars, then the regex engine wrongly selects the second alternative , due to the \G syntax

    So, this new simplified syntax can be used if the initial location of the caret is on an pure empty line. Indeed, as the initial \G location must not be followed with, both, \r or \n ( \G[^\w\r\n]+...... ), this means that, necessarily, the next match will come from the first alternative of the regex, which is the correct solution !

    But, of course, this new simplified regex is, then, no related, anymore, to a previous <title>......</title> tag !

    @Kendall-DeMott said in Files History:

    it forgets the ones used a lot, and retains some of the oddball ones

    If you use them “a lot”, wouldn’t they be in the 15 ?

    Is there anyway to delete items of of the search history window?

    Not on-demand, no.

    Or a way to put often used phrases in there like favorites list, etc.

    This is kind of a frequently asked for feature.
    Sadly, no one has come up with a great idea for implementing it, or perhaps no developer has tackled it.
    I think a workaround is to keep a file tab dedicated to such “phrases”.

    Notepad ++ and Admin mode keep different search histories, it would be nice if they were synced (same).

    That seems like it would be a security breach.

    @Amsja-Mull said in File too big for notepad++:

    I’ve read that notepad++ is capable of handling 2gb

    Additional information can be found in some old posts:
    https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/11803/feature-request-larger-file-sizes-allowed/2

    https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/18950/file-size-problem-file-is-too-big-to-be-opened-by-notepad/6
    notes that having a file type of .txt is likely to allow a larger file to be opened than other file types which are associated with “lexers”.

    https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/16960/text-limit/16
    where it is noted that scintilla (upon which Notepad++ is built) has a hard limit of 2GB. Maybe this is what you thought would allow your 600MB file to work.

    However this is more a “theoretical” number that can NEVER be surpassed. However as I stated before the environment Notepad++ is running in and even the file type have a lot to play in how successful you will be in loading such a file.

    Good luck

    @Sherif-Hemida ,

    It was an intentional change in v7.8.7, because find-previous doesn’t work how you think it will with regular expressions enabled. Find previous is still enabled for regular searches.

    See the instructions in the official docs for a config file change to make it work with regex, with the caveat that reverse-direction searches with regex sometimes yield unexpected results: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#preferences-for-advanced-users

    Thank you, for your answer,

    now i have checked a liitle bit more and i found the master.bat start with an mtee splitter.
    (http://ritchielawrence.github.io/mtee/)
    “test.bat” 2>&1 | mtee_versions\mtee.exe /C “test_bat.log”

    Without the splitter notepad++ works as expected.
    So i think there changes from microsoft in windows.

    how do you replace it? Can you give us a screenshot from your
    replace dialog? In addition, can you post the debug info from the last menu, the ? menu?

    Hi @Michael-Charney

    Try to select all files in reverse order. For example, if I want to get the files ordered as 1-3, I select first the 3, then the 2 and finally the 1. These will be copied in Notepad++ in order 1-3.

    Tested and worked in my Windows 7.

    Take care.

    @Kosmos-Huynh said in Find Duplicate lines by the part of line and keep one of them:

    but it does not work in my case

    I’m not surprised the regex you showed didn’t work. The example data is just a bit too different and unless you know what each part of the regex does you could well find it doing more damage to your data than good.

    As this conversation is 3 years old and your request is different enough can you start a new post? By all means reference back to this if you want but in reality it needs dealing with as a separate conversation.

    Also when including sample data please use the </> button (which you will see above the window where you type) around the examples, this prevents any characters typed from being altered by the interpreter in which you type. Please include more examples as what you have is insufficient to help describe the reason why 2 lines should be deleted when all 3 have the same word but all 3 have different numbers following. Describe more fully the requirement a line must have before it can be described as a “duplicate” and therefore deleted along with the line before it.

    Look at Preferences, Language. Then on the right side you can either select according to the file type/programming language type or override and set your own; in this case; 8 char tabs.
