A similar thing happened to me but in my case I would get a bunch of “NUL” characters whenever I copied and pasted. Here is the fix for my problem:

Select Replace (Ctrl/H)
Find what: \x00
Replace with:
Click on radio button Regular expression
Click on Replace All

I hope this helps!

@Marko-Cvetko

in general yes but I assume you ask if this is a builtin feature, if so, no there isn’t
such a function.
What you normally do in such cases is to use the run menu with an external tool that can be
executed as program directly or via cmd shell and providing the file as a parameter, like

python "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

or

cmd /K python "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

npp replaces automatically $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) with the full path of the
currently opened (and saved) document.

In your case it COULD be that this way still works but it either needs to be wrapped
in a bat file, when using run menu or copy and paste when using NppExec plugin

mode COM8 BAUD=115200 PARITY=... DATA=... copy $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) \\.\COM8

Note, when using a batch file you cannot use $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) inside the batch
but something like $1 as far as I remember.

Suggestion: Use the Edit (menu) -> Begin / End Select feature rather than holding Shift+Alt+DownArrow (or Shift+Alt+UpArrow) to scroll through A LOT of lines. In between the first Begin/End-Select (the “begin”) and the second (the “end”) you can use any of the document navigation functions (suggest move-to-end-of-doc (or start), or maybe the Search (menu) -> Goto…) to quickly move through a range of lines.

One NOTE for Begin/End Select for column mode is that before invoking the End-Select you have to get your caret into column mode, or you will end up with a stream and not a column block.

Doing it an alternate way is no excuse for a crash, though, if the crash turns out to not be the fault of a plug-in…

Is it really like written above with land and CGXML have no closing tag?

Do you have the pluginmanager? Current version is https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/releases/tag/v1.4.9. It would appear under plugins and you get a list of available plugins to install.
You could also get the nppftp plugin directly at:
https://github.com/ashkulz/NppFTP/releases/tag/v0.27.3 (get the one matching you n++ version 32bit or 64 bit)
Extract the zip and place the nppftp.dll under n++ “install dir”/plugins, see also http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=Plugin_Development#How_to_install_a_plugin

I do not observe the descript behaviour. Maybe one of the plugins is causing it. You may want to test this be starting N++ without plugins. See http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Command_Line_Switches, so notepad++ -noPlugins should show you the plain n++ behaviour.

What means “run a program on N++” ? Did you load the program executable itself or source code for it? What special chars do you see. A screenshot might be helpful.

@chcg

Du hast natürlich Recht, das jeder Font seine eigene Breit hat, aber ein Font darf doch nicht einfach zwei Whitespace schlucken.

@The NiceKype
bist Du sicher das dem so ist, sprich Du hast Dir die Whitespaces anzeigen lassen und wenn
Du eine Schriftart benutzt siehst Du 2 Leezeichen und bei einer anderen 4?

@Mehanik511

afaik, nothing builtin so far.
A possible solution might be using a scripting language plugin as shown here.

Oh… Tnx. I was not aware that it is so easy. :)
I downloaded ZIP version and it is working as expected.
Tnx!

Hi all!
Thank you very much for your support on this. I really appreciate your effort during the weekend.
I already tested with the Claudia’s script, and adding as well the start = 0 changes and deleting the [1:] and it works really great.
I just placed the { character at the beginning for sharing the content. No need to take it in consideration.
I have never worked with Python [I’m a PL/SQL and database developer], and now I’d like to try to make magic with it. The Claudia’s support was awesome to make the script work in Notepad++.
Thank you really so much again to you two, and happy coding!
=)

without (?-s) or with (?s) i get errors in results

@guy038

I think the most important thing was the diagnosis, which you provided. [I had no idea from the original posting that it was going to end up being a typematic rate problem]. My addition was just a different way of doing it–I think most can adapt what I was saying into their own specific languages, regardless of what the exact text is.

@Claudia-Frank Thank you. Danke. Gracias. I’ll let you know how it works out.

@Sepehr-E

I know Notepad++ is very complex. Is there any way to do this?

Yes, a script, e.g. python script, could do this BUT can we rely on your example data?
I mean, it is relatively easy to identify an url but getting the name part
of subdomain isn’t that easy.

So, does every subdomain follow your example?
This is hostname.sub.domain like www.translate.com?
Or could it be that you have also something like
http://x15w.sub.text.org/…
If the latter is the case, what should be used as the filename?
sub or text or sub.text or subtext or …

good point, deserves an upvote :-)
