@Clayton-Moudy ,

It’s going to be hard for us to debug, given the few details you’ve given. The more you can tell us, the easier it is for us to help you.

I’ve had to guess at your input file. (In this forum when you post, you can just prefix four more spaces on the quoted material, and the forum will properly mark it as preformatted code, so it’s easily set apart. I also included a comment-line… and will possibly need a first line that doesn’t indent)

Other than the # lines, is that an accurate representation of your file?

What is the difference between the two computers? Could you grab the ? > Debug Info > copy for each computer’s Notepad++, and paste in a reply – and mark which one does it right, and which does it wrong? What other settings are different between the NPP installations on each?

For the compare plugin see: https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/releases

@SiberMedya

I assume you want to copy the result without the line numbers, correct?
If so, right-click into the result window, select all and copy
and paste in a new document.
Even it looks like you copy everything, it copies only the found items.

Hello, @david-wanke, @perterjones and All,

David, I saw your post yesterday but I hadn’t time to reply, because I’ve just thought about some rounding cases, shown by Peter !

Of course, with a regex, no problem to change, for instance :

The floating number 12.45678 into the number 12.457

And the floating number 12.45623 into the number 12.456

using the rules :

If the fourth decimal digit, after the decimal point, is between 0 and 4, just truncate all decimal digits after the third one

If the fourth decimal digit, after the decimal point, is between 5 and 9, increase by one the third digit and truncate all decimal digits after the third one

But, as regular expressions, mainly, do string operations, I would have, given the second rule, to take in account all values of the third decimal digit : if 3 then replace by 4, if 7 then replace by 8 and so on… ! And what about rounding 12.99962 which should give 13.000 !

So, it’s easy to understand that the rounding process is, fundamentally, a mathematical operation, which is usually handled by programming or script languages. For instance, in the Peter’s Python script, the line, below, does the mathematical operation ( I’m not a python expert but I don’t think I’m wrong about it !! )

As Peter said, this an example of the limitations of regular languages ;-))

Best Regards,

P.S. :

Refer to some Wiki documentation, below :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_language

Just note that I did not understand most of the second article, anyway ! But, it’s good, from time to time, to feel oneself, very intelligent… during some seconds ;-))

@Gaurav99

by any chance to you mind uploading the erroneous config.xml to some place
where I can download it? I’m just curious what could have caused this.

@Curtis-Krajca

wasn’t there such option if you right-cklick on npp shortcut and open settings/properties or so?
If not, delete the shortcut and create a new one.

Cheers
Claudia

@Veera-Kotnala

not really but newer version will move it to recycle bin.

Cheers

OK, Problem solved… i needed to wake up first. :)
I’ll use your comma replacer first and then i can remove duplicate lines.

Perfect! Thank you very much.
Have a nice day

@Carl-Fuess

I assume you are looking for File->SaveSession and File->LoadSession.

Hello @guy038
Thanks for your comprehensive reply to my question.

@Baneeishaque
Try the Language–>Define your language … menu entry.

Thanks guy038 your second one worked perfectly for me. Really appreciate it.

What you’re describing is very common in OOP languages. If this behaved like they do, one would be looking for something more like a doEvents operation as sleep usually halts all operations in the background, unless the community started incorporating a doEvents equivalent into a sleep command (which IMO should have been done years ago, if not already done). In fact I wonder if this is a python background issue rather than a regex issue.

I’m just starting into regex and have started thinking along similar lines to what you mention here; I’m interested in seeing what others can add to this question by way of responses. Perhaps you could insert timestamps in a test document?

Thank you so much for the quick reply! I appreciate that, as I had really started to get into that Wiki page. So, I’ll just go ahead and work on using that information, and see where it leads me. But, snippets are welcome. They’re great samples; Scott, Guy and others do such a great job of explaining what they’ve written.
