version control is used to track changes within files (mostly text files).
Most famous today is, I guess, git.
But if you have to ask what it is, means that you haven’t used it.
One other functionality Windows offers is “Previous version”
Right-click on a file and select properties - the last tab in the property window.
But this doesn’t, necessarily, give back the previous version but the version
of the last backup, which means it could have be changed multiple times afterwards.

So, all in all, this means , that, more or less, you can’t get the information what
has been changed in the file if you haven’t used one of the tools I mentioned.

Hi Claudia
Many thanks for the reply I will have a search around on site here to gain some more info on what is available and what can be done
cheers

Perhaps you can figure out an easy way to create a session file that has the files you want to edit, then use the -opensession command line option to open them as a session in a new instance.

I should have read more carefully. Yes, I’m up with the latest version. Thank you very much.

@Jose-Emilio-Osorio

Maybe see this posting.

I see this question (not exactly the same, but close) is answered here. So apparently I just need to be patient. :) Thanks!

@PeterJones
Pretty good answer! I’d guess that is the closest i would get unless sending a request to add it in as a “feature”

Yeah, there are occasional outages on some or all of the notepad-plus-plus.org website. (it’s especially annoying when it’s the forum, so you cannot report the problem). They are generally fixed within a couple hours, in my experience.

I have another regex, this one is possibly a better option as I noticed all your instances of putting the ‘|’ character had either a number before or after.

So
Find what: \h(?=\d)|(?<=\d)\h
Replace with: \|

So as I said it will only deal with spaces that have a number on either side of it. Therefore it leaves the one alone in (as your example says) “Great Strides”

LOL … amazing… (sigh)

@Robert-Snow

It is fairly customizable…see: See Settings (menu) -> Style Configurator…

What I do, and it is by no means the only way of doing things, is to choose:

Language : Global Styles Style : Global override

and then the Enable global font and Enable global font size checkboxes become visible. I tick those checkboxes and then set a decent monospaced font (e.g. Consolas) and font size (e.g. 9 ) in the Font Style box.

YMMV

Thanks

It can alternately mean Original Post, as well. You’ve got to take it on context of whether it’s talking about the content or the content creator. :-)

@Terry-R

It’s a lot of WORK, trying to be helpful! :-)

Thank you very much!

@Robert-Miller

Sounds like that is the Find in Files feature conducting its search…seems like normal behavior–do you disagree?

Dear Mr Sumner

Thank you! It worked now.
I am a little embarrassed to say, but I do not know what I did wrong the first time and what I did right this time.

Best Regards!

PS. I am using Notepad++ v7.5.8 32bit

@saud-s.k

a little bit cryptic but this one can do it

editor.setText('\r\n'.join(reversed(['[keep.text]{}'.format(x) for x in editor.getText().splitlines()])))

Cheers

@Terry-R

I think your idea was covered in the thread I pointed to earlier…see where @guy038 in that thread says:

SEARCH (?s)^.*?(Your regex to match)|(?s).*\z
REPLACE…etc

Like your recent suggestion, that is a destructive search, which may be a downside, although a simple Undo can take care of that after the resultant data is Copy’d out…
