    Sounds like a feature request, which this FAQ explains how to make in a way that it will be properly tracked.

  • Identical files and different display of some characters ..

    Comparing two short headers containing, each, exactly these 16 bytes (hex format): 01 00 01 00 44 AC 00 00 88 01 00 02 00 10 00

    That’s 15 bytes shown, not 16.

    As a text editor, Notepad++ will try to interpret those as text. It’s not ASCII, since some are over hex 80 (including the two bytes you reference, assuming you are counting bytes starting at 1). It might be one of the old 8-bit encodings. Or it might be a multi-byte encoding: either something like UCS-2-LE/BE (which is what Windows uses internally for multibyte-character strings), or it might be a unicode encoding such as UTF-8.

    Sometimes Notepad++ guesses wrong for what encoding is meant (it’s not always programmatically obvious what encoding you’re using); if it’s guessing wrong for you, I suggest Settings > Preferences > Misc and disabling ☐ Autodetect character encoding, then manually choosing the right encoding.

    i get a different characters view for bytes 6 and 9

    Since bytes 6 and 9 are AC and 88, I’m not sure why you think they should be the same, whether they’re really just those single-bytes, or whether they are multi-byte characters. (Or maybe by “same”, you mean they aren’t the same as what you think they should be… in which case, see the guesses-wrong-encoding, above.)

    It still is not working.

    After the description of what you’re doing, I disbelieve that it’s not working. My guess is that you’ve still got Windows hiding extensions, so you don’t notice the extension is actually there.

    So, I am going to find a new editor

    That’s not going to help if you’re not using Windows properly. And even if it’s something else, it won’t help when you come across some behavior in that program that you’d rather not figure out, or something that you think is that program’s fault, but is really the fault of Windows or something you’ve just not done correctly. Good luck with that long term.

    if you’d like continued help here, feel free to ask, and we’ll be happy to help you learn. Otherwise, good luck.

    Oops, I meant to put:

    INPUTBOX “$(FILE_NAME): Enter arguments or none to continue.”
    cd “$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)”
    C:\Python37\python.exe “$(FILE_NAME)” $(INPUT)

    which gives you the option to give Python some command line arguments.

    You won’t like this, but I’ll tell you what I do. Occasionally this happens to me as well, no rhyme or reason for it. I cancel the prompt box and then attempt to save the file again. It has never failed to save it, and the second try never has generated the same prompt box about admin mode again.

    I would recommend trying out Notepad++ yourself to see if it fulfills your need.

    Notepad++ is a text editor. Cross references are a feature of either a Word Processor or of a markup/markdown language for formatting text – but Notepad++ cannot be aware of the effectively-infinite number of possible markup languages available for making links between two places in the same document, and as an editor, isn’t really responsible for such things even when you’re editing a common language like HTML or Markdown. For markup languages, it’s up to the rendering application to provide those links.

    If you mean, “how do I add an HTML link” or “Markdown link”, those aren’t questions for a Notepad+±specific forum

    I did take a look at tail -f via “man tail” in Linux. seems like it would have very good application in big data.

    Hello, @nitish-singh, @gurikbal-singh, @peterjones and All,

    As some of the lines of the XML file are, likely, preceded by some leading blank characters, the solution, below, should be preferred :

    SEARCH ^\h*<isRetrievable>false</isRetrievable>\R\h*<idName></idName>\R\K\h*<readOnly>true</readOnly>\R?

    REPLACE Leave EMPTY

    Best regards,

    guy038

    @Ekopalypse

    No, I’m not trying to “parallel” the text in the real editor and the hidden. If I set as the hidden editor’s entire text the match from the search, doing the replace on that guarantees the replace will succeed and the entire text left in the hidden editor’s buffer will be the replacement preview text. Long to explain but it seems to work.

    just putting them in the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\plugin folder?

    Technically, for the v7.6.3 and newer, in subdirectories of the plugin folder; but yes.

    there are no Registry settings, ini files and such

    Notepad++ doesn’t handle the settings or ini files for plugins – they handle those themselves. And typically, they use the %AppData%\Notepad++ structure, which you’ve already copied over.
