    Sorry, dude, this is not the right place to discuss that.
    This Community is for Notepad++ - related discussion.
    Good luck in your quest for answers–somewhere else.

    There’s no way to turn it off or on, just shows it by default.

    Hello @liuruiqi1993 and All,

    BTW, I advice you to downgrade to the v7.5.1 version of Notepad++, because there are some encoding issues with the last two N++ versions ! See below :

    https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/14936/update-to-7-5-3-file-encode-wrong/2

    Now, I understand why it did,'t work with your old 5.9.4 version. Just because, since the N++ v.6.0 version, a new search engine is implemented, with the Perl Common Regular Expressions feature, of the Boost C++ regex library ! This new search engine allows you to run complicated S/R, once you’re acquainted with Regular expressions language :-))

    For newby people, about regular expressions concept and syntax, begin with that article, in N++ Wiki :

    http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Regular_Expressions

    In addition, you’ll find good documentation, about the Boost C++ Regex library, v1.55.0 ( similar to the PERL Regular Common Expressions, v5.8 ), used by Notepad++, since its 6.0 version, at the TWO addresses below :

    http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html

    http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/format/boost_format_syntax.html

    The FIRST link explains the syntax, of regular expressions, in the SEARCH part

    The SECOND link explains the syntax, of regular expressions, in the REPLACEMENT part

    You may, also, look for valuable informations, on the sites, below :

    http://www.regular-expressions.info

    http://www.rexegg.com

    http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html

    Be aware that, as any documentation, it may contain some errors ! Anyway, if you detected one, that’s good news : you’re improving ;-))

    it’s not json and the tabs are just there to allow spacing so that they “look good” on a single line when a bunch of them are all there at the same time. (basically they line up stuff vertically… and yes… that sounds idiotic… but i did not write the original “code” 😅) It cannot be on multiple lines as the intepreter of the code sees every new line as a different “item”. I did not write the interpreter, i’m just trying to help modify a bunch of items at the same time. Thus i cannot change the writing “language”. The task was to learn how to change multiple instances of similar things all at once so that in the future these things can be changed easily.

    I think you are right. I will give the function list method a go.

    Maybe you are just doing it wrong. But since you didn’t tell us what you are doing, no one can make a judgment. :-(

    Maybe check this thread for generic troubleshooting tips?

    @Sybell-Lirwaco said:

    only saved if the instance in which these changes were made was closed. Correct?

    To be honest, haven’t tested it but I assume this is correct and makes sense.

    For completeness, I eventually found the bug in mine: I was misusing range(start, end) – I thought it included end when iterating over the range, but it only uses the values less than end.

    The following is my code, with the bug fixed (and some of my debug prints left in) that I think now does what was requested… though @Claudia-Frank did it much more succinctly… and the magic of @guy038 regex ability is virtually limitless. :-)

    # editor1 is the PythonScript object instance for the first (left or top) document window in NPP # editor2 is the instance for the second (right or bottom) document window # Python's range(start, stop) operator will keep going while the index variable is LESS THAN stop, so it will never use stop: https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#range for lineNumber in range(0, editor1.getLineCount() ): # grab the nth line from File1 (exclude newline) editor1.gotoLine(lineNumber) newValue = editor1.getCurLine().rstrip() console.write("editor1: #" + str(lineNumber) + " = \"" + newValue + "\"\n") editor2.documentEnd() # go to the last position end2 = editor2.getCurrentPos() # record the position console.write("editor2.end = " + str(end2)+"\n") editor2.documentStart() # back to the beginning start2 = editor2.getCurrentPos() # record the position console.write("editor2.start = " + str(start2)+"\n") # want to replace two "xxx" entries in File2 with each line from File1 for time in range(0, 2): console.write("time# " + str(time) + "!!!\n") # look for the first occurrence of 'xxx', starting at start2 and ending at end2 # position is a tuple with the start and end locations of the match position = editor2.findText( FINDOPTION.MATCHCASE, start2, end2, "xxx") if position is None: console.write("editor2.position is NONE, so skipping...\n") break # don't try to replace console.write("editor2: findText @ " + str(position[0]) + ":" + str(position[1]) + "\n") # select the "xxx" editor2.setSelectionStart(position[0]) editor2.setSelectionEnd(position[1]) # replace the selection with newValue editor2.replaceSel(newValue) # the cursor is now at the end of the replaced value, and we want to start2 = editor2.getCurrentPos() console.write("Start2: " + str(start2)+"\n") console.write("next source line...\n")

    @Pietro-Nobili

    Pietro, I had something different in mind.
    Copy the following into nppexec dialog and run it on a python script,
    then you should see the full file path output, when running on txt file
    only a statement is shown. No need for an addition batch file.

    if $(EXT_PART) == .py goto python if $(EXT_PART) == .txt goto whatever goto end :python echo run full file path:$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) goto end :whatever echo some text file :end echo "END"

    @Rodrigez-Yaves

    By updating npp it is solved, because, as Alan already suggested, newer version
    don’t use a popup window anymore.
    I tried different things with your 6.1.3 version but wasn’t able to record the button press of
    the confirmation dialog.

    Hold the Shift Key down and Right-Mouse click the batch file. This should allow you to select “Open With…” and then choose the program used to open the file.
