But I did find what appears to be the perfect solution by trial and error. Use single quote characters (’) to specify multi word open/closing folding in markers instead of double quotes (").

nice find (i’ve just tried out your solution) and very embarrasing that i did not try that (') out beforehand 🤭

thank you for your own, working solution and for sharing. 👍
if you like, stick around here in the future, either for casual reading, or to participate on anything of interest to you. you are always welcome.

I think that after you select MyUtils, you will have to type a period for the autocomplete to begin suggesting things that begin with MyUtils.. Other than that, I would expect it to work as you desire.

I don’t think size will be a problem for you. My “C” auto-completion file is almost 3.5 Megabytes and works very well. Currently it includes 3230 UEFI function definitions extracted from .h files and 463 keywords! Obviously I didn’t do this by hand; I wrote an AWK script that I use to generate a new (updated) auto-completion file periodically.

Keep in mind that you have to keep the entries sorted alphabetically. If you get something out of order, then you may never see a portion of your entries (but you will not get any kind of error message).

Hello, @vasile-caraus, @eko-palypse and All,

Here is, below, a similar regex S/R, with a look-ahead structure, which, also, preserves the indentation of the two lines, involved !

So assuming the sample text, below :

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="text_obisnuit"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="text_OTHER_1"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="text_obisnuit"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="text_OTHER_2"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="text_obisnuit">

If we use :

SEARCH (\h*)<p>&nbsp;</p>(?=\h*\R\h*<p class="text_obisnuit">)

REPLACE \1<br><br>

the above text becomes :

<br><br> <p class="text_obisnuit"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="text_OTHER_1"> <br><br> <p class="text_obisnuit"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="text_OTHER_2"> <br><br> <p class="text_obisnuit">

With the previous regex S/R, we would have obtained :

<br><br> <p class="text_obisnuit"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="text_OTHER_1"> <br><br> <p class="text_obisnuit"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="text_OTHER_2"> <br><br> <p class="text_obisnuit">

Note, also, that this new regex S/R works, whatever the line endings ( \r\n for me and \n for you )

Best regards,

Arduino Plugin

download Notepad++.Arduino.0.2.0.zip from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/narduinoplugin/
it has contain README.txt and Arduino_Language_0.2.0.xml

@matt-bjerk

Sounds like a task for a programming language. Notepad++ itself can do nothing to help, but you could certainly use one of its scripting language plugins to accomplish this.

@Offerel

aaaaaaahh, nice idea to use dummy_file as a temporary timestamp reference file. 👍👍👍

thanks for sharing 👍, i too think that it might come in handy for others.
there are quite a few linux and mac users around here, including me.

@Chen-Yu

i don’t know LaTeX either, but you could use taskkill (C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe) at the end of your scripts, as a workaround until you find a solution.

for example taskkill /f /im pdflatex.exe will force end all instances of pdflatex.exe at once.

Thanks for an example with both before and after. It helps.

Find What = (?-s)^.*?:(?=.*:) Replace With = (empty) Search Mode = regular expression

Search =

(?-s) = turn off .-matches-newline (overrides the checkbox later in the dialog box) ^ = start the match at the beginning of the line .*? = match 0 or more characters before… : = a literal colon (?=.*:) = the colon must be followed by 0 or more characters and another colon, but don’t include this bit in the stuff to be replaced. If there isn’t a second colon on the line, it won’t match the earlier stuff, so no replace will occur for that line

Replace up through the first colon with nothing, if the given line matches everything above

FYI:

This forum is formatted using Markdown, with a help link buried on the little grey ? in the COMPOSE window/pane when writing your post. For more about how to use Markdown in this forum, please see @Scott-Sumner’s post in the “how to markdown code on this forum” topic, and my updates near the end. It is very important that you use these formatting tips – using single backtick marks around small snippets, and using code-quoting for pasting multiple lines from your example data files – because otherwise, the forum will change normal quotes ("") to curly “smart” quotes (“”), will change hyphens to dashes, will sometimes hide asterisks (or if your text is c:\folder\*.txt, it will show up as c:\folder*.txt, missing the backslash). If you want to clearly communicate your text data to us, you need to properly format it.

If you have further search-and-replace (“matching”, “marking”, “bookmarking”, regular expression, “regex”) needs, study this FAQ and the documentation it points to. Before asking a new regex question, understand that for future requests, many of us will expect you to show what data you have (exactly), what data you want (exactly), what regex you already tried (to show that you’re showing effort), why you thought that regex would work (to prove it wasn’t just something randomly typed), and what data you’re getting with an explanation of why that result is wrong. When you show that effort, you’ll see us bend over backward to get things working for you. If you need help formatting, see the paragraph above.

Please note that for all regex and related queries, it is best if you are explicit about what needs to match, and what shouldn’t match, and have multiple examples of both in your example dataset. Often, what shouldn’t match helps define the regular expression as much or more than what should match.

@Fred-Mitchell

i have the same question 😉

but if you are searching for the setting to keep notepad++ always on top:
go to the menu view > always on top as shown at the screenshot below:

Imgur

side note: a google search for notepad++ always on top lists @guy038 's post from about 3 years ago at first place 👍

@Hansi-Krause

in addition to all of @PeterJones 's suggestions, could you please download a portable version from >>> here <<<, extract it to your desktop and run notepad++.exe directly from this folder, and try if you can install plugins using plugins admin ?

explanation: the portable version will be completely isolated and independent from all other existing notepad++ folders and settings on that machine.
with the portable version you can try if plugins admin would work for you on a fresh install, just like if it would be on another machine, regardless of any other notepad++ installs you currently have.

i have one more question: are you eventually behind a corporate proxy server that might block any downloads on your machine ?
if you want to test this out: open a cmd command shell window and enter ping notepad-plus-plus.org. if you don’t get an answer from 37.59.28.236, you are behind a proxy server, and have to add the proxy ip and port at the notepad++ menu ? > set updater proxy

Great, many thanks, it worked!

He guys

I didn’t know only python gurus were working on this issue. ;) Thanks a lots for all these examples!
I check them (beginning by the last one?) to resolve my issue
