Hello, @adam-bowsky, @michael-vincent, @supasillyass and All, Personally, I would use the following regex S/R, which should work in all the discussed cases ! I simply assume that the N90- string, with this exact case, is preceded with, at least, one digit ! SEARCH (?-si)^\h*\d+N90-.*\R? REPLACE Leave EMPTY Of course, the Regular expression search mode is selected and the Wrap around option is ticked Give a try ! I’ll give you some explanations when everything is right ;-)) Best Regards guy038

@Alan-Kilborn Apologies… I am not experienced with this.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks! This is exactly what I needed!

I fixed the issues, The dll needs to go as follows; Notepad++ install directory\plugins\ComparePlugin And now it works!

Got it ! thanks, WORKS !

@Sylvester-Bullitt Sounds like Notepad++ is not the tool for the job.

@PeterJones Thanks for the clarification!

Expanding a builtin language for anything other than a keyword is not something you can do without access to the source code. You could use a User Defined Language, but you’d probably feel it didn’t meet all your needs. If that was enough, a UDL will allow \\ to mark a comment line, like so: [image: 1579299154962-f71846ac-63a9-4a88-b670-384ca07fe399-image.png] However, you can add extra highlighting to a builtin lexer (like the SQL lexer) using regexes via the script EnhanceAnyBuiltinLexer.py that @Ekopalypse shares in this linked post

“Until EOL” is easy: DELIMITERn open = :, close = ((EOL)) Unfortunately, stop-on-other-whitespace is harder; not sure how it could be done natively in a Notepad++ UDL. There are two alternatives that I can think of: just define it as a delimiter with ((EOL)) closing it, but set the STYLE for that delimiter to allow nesting of anything else (that you have defined). For example, if = was defined in Operators 2 as magenta, Number defined with blue foreground and cyan background, Keywords 1 defined as Green/Bold with Area as the keyword, and DELIMITER1 defined with open = :, close = ((EOL)) and foreground=red, bg=yellow, nesting=operators2+numbers, I see: [image: 1579298351581-7f97a779-14f3-4046-b719-3abb641fdf54-image.png] which might be enough for you. Otherwise, you can add extra highlighting to a UDL language using regexes via the script EnhanceUDLLexer.py that @Ekopalypse shares in this linked post

@Adnan-Haddad install procmon, set a filter for shortcuts.xml and run it. Start npp and see where it is loading the file from. Make your changes and close npp. Check if procmon informs about any error or whether npp was able to save it correctly.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Selecting, Leaving, Returning, then Copying from Find-Result window: Maybe you can now that 7.8.3 offers … To be honest, I barely use the find window. In my workflow there is no need to do this often. I’ve never understood the “full keyboarding” approach, … occasionally grabbing the mouse gives the wrist a rest from constantly the same activity. :-) I don’t have this problem because the coding represents maybe 10% of my working time. At home, when I program for fun, I constantly have to take my hand off the keyboard, because I have to take the board off my head all the time, because of the stupid mistakes I make all the time. :-D Not sure this board off my head translated correctly. Blockhead seems to be the translation for Brett vorm Kopf

@PeterJones tnx, you gave me more info than 2 days of searching on the internet, have a nice day :).

@aristosv Not! Installation from the command line hides the entire installation process)))

Change these settings (clear this flag) [image: imm754a.png]

@PeterJones Yay! Got it work without having to mess with NppExec interface. For the benefit of anyone who wants to do this with Firefox & Windows 10, the macro below is what I finally settled on. I used a keyboard shortcut of Ctrl-Shift-Enter (your mileage may vary on other systems, especially the virtual key number). Thanks for help and patience, Peter. If you’d like to see the the Web site I’m using it for, it’s at http://www.hymntime.com/tch. I’m editing several hundred files, so this will be a tremendous help! <Macro name="Save File and Launch in Firefox" Ctrl="yes" Alt="no" Shift="yes" Key="13"> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="41006" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="44100" lParam="0" sParam="" /> </Macro>
