one or more non alpha-numeric

You could use the Mark feature, which I suggest as you may otherwise find that you have removed lines you did not wish to do so.

So with Mark (under Search, then mark) have the Find What line containing
[^0-9a-z]
Make sure the ‘Bookmark line’ is ticked and have the Search Mode set to 'regular expression. Click on mark All.
All lines containing at least one character which is NOT a number (0-9) or a alpha (a-z & A-Z) will be marked by a symbol at the start of a line (mine is a blue circle).

At this point you could just select the option in the menu (under Search) called Bookmark, then Remove Bookmarked Lines, however i strongly suggest you check at least some of the bookmarked lines as I suspect you will find you may have forgotten other characters which you wish not to select. If so then they can also be added to the regex inside the [], before selecting Mark again, Clear Marks and trying again.

Yea. “Big” data can be a problem. I’d go with Jim’s idea. In fact, I have in the past done this exact thing. Here’s a “cleaned up” version of some standalone Python I have, in the chance that it will help you:
import re myfile = r'C:\foo\bar.txt' myregex = r'' lines_after_count = 2 countdown = 0 with open(myfile) as f: for line in f: line = line.rstrip() if re.search(myregex, line): print(line) countdown = lines_after_count elif countdown > 0: print(line) countdown -= 1

I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to un-comment the shortcut file.

That’s odd. My 7.6.6 puts those just fine when i remove the XML-comments wrapping those statements. Procedure = Close all Notepad++ instances; open single instance of Notepad++, edit the correct shortcuts.xml (%AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml for a normal installation), save, exit Notepad++, open Notepad++: should now show the updated Run menu.

I mean, with it built into the View Menu, there’s no reason to use the shortcuts.xml/Run-menu version, but the old-style Run menu ones should work (and does for me) when properly enabled in v7.6.6.

Thank You! I am headed to find some Python love LOL

In case you haven’t found it yet, this post catalogs a couple of pages with example PythonScript code to insert a date-based stamp into your file. It would be pretty easy to modify for random-based instead.

Again, good luck.

Thank you. I really forgot about Excel, can’t believe that haha. But it was really hard, since Excel’s ways to optimise the script made it so that some symbols disappear. So there I was again, no time for that.

So what I did was actually really use Find and Replace on Notepad++. There were severals commands and a hundred lines for every command but the numbers on them were a few, well, compared to the rest. Then I opened a new note and wrote a “Find” to find all the possible numbers for a command and “replace” with the correct ones. It toke a long time. After that I just “found” and “replaced” the written command name by another one, and repeated that for all the commands.

In the end I had all the notes for every command with a long find and replace in each one. It took me two hours to do the first and a few minutes to make the rest of it.

@MickardEMT

yes, unfortunately textfx is not available as a fully functional 64 bit plugin.
if you do not need to edit files with a filesize of 300-2048 mb, and you currently need textfx, or eventually other 32 bit only plugins, you are safer with the 32 bit version.

for anything you would like to test at the 64 bit version of notepad++, you can use a complementary portable 64 bit version.
(like the 32 bit portable you’ve tried above, but the 64 bit release)
this is the way i have it. my main install is 7.6.6 32 bit, and additionally i use the 64 bit version, which can reside at the desktop, or at any other folder with write permissions, e.g. C:\PortableApps\Notepad++.

(note: portable versions must not be copied to %ProgramFiles% or %ProgramFiles(x86)%)

Hello, @vasile-caraus, @peterjones and All,

Here is my attempt, which is able to match and delete all duplicate words, one at a time, in any line ..........

SEARCH (?-s)(?:|\G).*?\h+((&\#\d+;|[\w'-])+)\h\K\h*\1[\h,;.]+(?=.*?)

REPLACE Leave EMPTY

If you prefer to use the free spacing mode and in-line comments, here is the search regex :
(?x) # FREE-SPACING mode (?-s) # The DOT represents a single STANDARD character (?:<p[ ]class="bebe">|\G ) # The string or the CURRENT position, in a NON-CAPTURING group .*? # The SMALLEST range of STANDARD characters, ONLY \h+ # A NON null range of HORIZONTAL BLANK characters ( (&\#\d+;|[\w'-])+ ) # The string &#, followed with digit(s) + a SEMICOLON or a WORD character or a SINGLE QUOTE or a DASH # possibly REPEATED, so a WORD stored as GROUP 1 \h # One HORIZONTAL BLANK character \K # Everything ALREADY matched is DISCARDED \h* # A range, possibly NULL of HORIZONTAL BLANK character(s) \1 # The DUPLICATE word [\h,;.]+ # Any NON null range of HORIZONTAL BLANK character or a COMMA or a SEMICOLON or a DOT, possibly REPEATED (?=.*?) # ONLY IF followed with the SMALLEST range of STANDARD characters + the STRING ) in the CURRENT line
Just test these two identical versions, against the sample text, below :
My husband and I are transforming our our long-neglected, creaky old Victorian house into our favorite place on earth. My husband and I are transforming our ourş long-neglected, creaky old Victorian house into our favorite place on earth. My husband and I are transforming ourş our long-neglected, creaky old Victorian house into our favorite place on earth. My husband and I are transforming ourş ourş long-neglected, creaky old Victorian house into our favorite place on earth.

My husband and I are transforming our our long-neglected, creaky old Victorian house into our favorite place on earth.
To be logic, only the non empty lines 1, 4, 8, 17, and from 19 to 24 match !

So, after a click on the Replace All button, exclusively, it should give the following text :
My husband and I are transforming our long-neglected, creaky old Victorian house into our favorite place on earth. My husband and I are transforming our ourş long-neglected, creaky old Victorian house into our favorite place on earth.

As you noticed, in line 23, the two duplicate words our and old are, both, found and deleted ;-))

Hello @guy038
Thanks for your help and tips. But this text was only an example. This kind of work is only to do “by hand”, because things are not always so simple. Numbers are not always matching text with that simple order as in my example…

Plugins gone?!

welcome to the notepad++ community, @zejjnt

if you have recently updated to notepad++ 7.6.6 from e.g. 7.5.9:
the plugin folder structure has changed a bit, due to user demands of making the plugins folder more sorted and human readable.

before, the plugins folder was a single folder, where all plugin dlls and eventually their additional files were stored.
this caused many users not to know which files belonged to which plugin, making a manual plugin cleanup very difficult without performing a complete clean re-install.

now, the plugins folder is more structured, separating each plugin into a dedicated folder, which matches the plugins’s .dll name.

solutions:

to migrate old plugins:
(compatible plugins only)
please go to plugins > open plugins folder... to open up your plugins folder in windows explorer. look for a plugin dll name of a plugin you might need, e.g. HexEditor.dll. create a folder with the dll’s name, but without the .dll extension, e.g. HexEditor. move your plugin dll to this folder, e.g. HexEditor.dll to plugins\HexEditor. if existent and known, move additional plugin helper files to the new folder as well. (HexEditor will not have any)
to reinstall supported plugins:
please go to plugins > plugins admin. search for your desired plugins and select them. press install to install your desired and available plugins.
note: there are more plugins compatible with 7.6.6 than provided at the plugins admin available plugins list.
please search at our community for additional manual install instructions for many of those plugins.
if you can’t find it, please open a new topic, we will help you on all plugins which are known to run on newer versions of notepad++.

direct answers:

And the plugin manager and plugin admin detect different updates

important note: do not use the old plugin manager on newer versions of notepad++, like 7.6.6, as it is incompatible, due to not being aware of the new folder structure.
as for now, plugin manager is no longer maintained, and serves it’s purpose only for versions 7.5.9 and below.

And when I remove EVERYTHING and start fresh, there is no plugin administration at all so yes, I have tried to start over.

important note: if you remove “EVERYTHING” you will also remove the plugins admin’s nppPluginList.dll, which contains the compatible plugin list, resulting in the disappearance of plugins admin from the plugins menu.

many thanks and best regards.

Another option would be LuaScript. Edit the startup file, add the following, and restart.
npp.AddShortcut("Toggle Indentation", "Ctrl+E", function() editor.UseTabs = not editor.UseTabs end)
