@PeterJones Thanks! I had no idea there was a “Select All Between Matching Braces” but that will do the trick!

Ah, never mind. There was an issue with the theme symlink, which when corrected fixed everything. Not sure how that caused an error with the stylers.xml file - that symlink was just fine - but it went away, just the same.

It works, Thanks alot Terry. Be blessed

I was using an old version (v7), I updated to the lastest and it’s indeed working, thanks man!

@PeterJones Very good instructions!

The sessions recreated the problem.

I edited the xml and it now works fine.

Great direction, thanks!

Thanks guys.

Yes, this is my first time using regular expressions and it’s going to take me some time to understand it.

This will get me started though.

Thanks

@Dan-McGovern ,

As far as I know, you cannot call plugin features from the command line.

However, I seem to remember some earlier discussion about the topic… search, search. There it is: on April 18, @Ekopalypse described a way to provide user parameters to a plugin. He shows an example of using PythonScript to parse the Notepad++ command-line options. Once you know the user parameter was set on the command line in PythonScript, you can use its capabilities to call features of the Compare plugin (or any other plugin).

@PeterJones thanks a lot! That explains it.

@Sukanya__N said in Regex to find mixed text, numbers and special characters:

<ext-link ext-link-type=“uri” xlink:href=“https://doi.org/10.4414/smw.2020.20225”>https://doi.org/10.4414/smw.2020.20225</ext-link>

you could try <ext-link ext-link-type.*/ext-link>
but see that the outer brackets are not included in the find

@Rob-Puleo I know it’s a notepad++ forum and you provided the steps to export to CSV to use Notepad++. That is what I was looking for and thank you for your help!

@Stanisław-Mędrzecki said in RegEx - need to replace delimetered string with some its parts:

How do you know when to replace with B - C or sometimes C - D or D - E ?

Hi @David-Swarthout, All:

Let me suggest you to take a look at AHK’s Editors forum, where you can find some resources as UDLs, Syntax Highlight, a tool to run a script or a selection directly from Notepad++ —can’t live without it—, another one to expand parameters for AHK’s functions, commands and directives, and more.

Have fun!

(?-s)^.+(?=\R<------------>\R\Q*********\E\R<------------>)

you re a genius broo thank youuu its worked

@[username redacted] said in Why is it that some regex match is not replaced one by one?:

I wonder if I could open the document and remember the last scroll position so next time I reopen it, it straight nagivgates to where it was.

You may find THIS to be of interest on that topic. There’s a Pythonscript there that supposedly solves this “problem”. I haven’t tried the script out yet, so I can’t fully endorse it. It’s on my evergrowing “TODO” list. :-)

solution , I delete the config.xml file and when restarting NPP a new one is created and now I can have view again the project window

@Alan-Kilborn THANK YOU. “Follow current document” is working much better. I can now have many document open and they will always suggest the same save directory that I’ve been using.

I guess I was just confused by 3 save directory options. Some how the other two options seemed more like the behavior above; and to me the words “follow the current document” seems to indicate that each document would be separated to it’s own manually-selected save folder.

Some how the words of those settings have me seeing them as the opposite of what they really do.

Why the manually set single directory option (option 3) doesn’t work? I don’t know - but problem solved as far as I’m concerned.

A small script for the jN plugin that will do this.
It will also add a menu “scripts jN” -> “convertText”
https://github.com/sieukrem/jn-npp-plugin

var scriptsMenu_jN = Editor.addMenu("scripts jN"); function convertText() { //debugger; var vStep = 0; var vText = '', vTextLine = ''; var vLines = Editor.currentView.lines; for(var i = 0; i< vLines.count; i++, vStep++) { vTextLine = vLines.get(i).text; if (vTextLine.charCodeAt(vTextLine.length-1) == 10) vTextLine = vTextLine.substring(0, vTextLine.length-1); // kill \n if(vStep < 4) { vText = vText + vTextLine; } else { vText = vText + "\n" + vTextLine; vStep = 0; } } Editor.currentView.text = vText; } scriptsMenu_jN.addItem({ text:"convertText", cmd:convertText });

@Michael-Vincent

Yes, I’ve done this in the past too but when you update NotePad++, then the install won’t overwrite existing themes and you might have to merge changes to your theme if the release also updated the theme.

there should be an option in windows about mouseclicks , defining if single or double click shall open a file , maybe that caused the problem

@Terry-R said in Delete certain amount of characters of e-mail address:

Bear in mind some of the characters are metacharacters and will need escaping by using the \ before the character.

For more info on which characters need escaping within a character class (denoted by the [ and ]) read:
https://www.regular-expressions.info/charclass.html
specifically the paragraph titled
“Metacharacters Inside Character Classes”
