Yes, I tried the default programs applet but Notepad++ isn’t in the list of programs.

@Karttegayen-Nachimuthu afaik not and doesn’t that mean it is the same as just open another npp instance? Isn’t it quicker to click on the npp shortcut instead of clicking file->new? Cheers Claudia

@RScream1 interesting - could be done more or less but you need to be aware that you need to install a scripting plugin like python or lua … (one which exposes the scintilla features) and depending whether you want to use it together with a lexer (code highlighting from language menu) or not you do have just a couple of possible styles or indicators you can use. Let me know if you wanna go this way. Cheers Claudia

Hello, @pablo-martinez, I’ve just missed your post, till now ! Really easy, indeed ! The search regex is unchanged (0)|(1)|(2)|(3)|(4)|(5)|(6)|(7)|(8)|(9) The replacement regex becomes (?{1}9)(?{2}0)(?{3}1)(?{4}2)(?{5}3)(?{6}4)(?{7}5)(?{8}6)(?{9}7)(?{10}8) Remark : I noticed that, in your previous regex, when you add 1 to digit 9, you get the 0 digit ( part (?{10}0), at the end of your previous replacement regex ). So, to stay coherent, with that method, now, if you subtract 1 from 0, you’ll get the number 9 ( part (?{1}9), at the beginning of the new replacement regex ! ) Best Regards, guy038

@Pierre-Namikaze By learning the “web” language of your choice and understanding what needs to be done to set up a webpage. Good starting points are https://www.w3schools.com/default.asp and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Common_questions/What_is_a_web_server Cheers Claudia

@Don-Bonnenfant depending on your usage and configuration you need to do different actions. If you use a customized theme/style then you need to download a zipped npp version and extract the theme into your installation. If you use the the default theme/style then you can rename the file stylers.xml, which is either in your installation directory or under %APPDATA%, and then start npp. The file will be recreated with the default settings. Cheers Claudia

@Gonen-Shoham in addition to what Guy already mentioned, it would be good to know what kind of scripting language you are thinking of. Cheers Claudia

@Suhas-kashyap-R.R You can make it work but you need to understand that this isn’t a persistent change which means if you close and reopen the file, the changes are gone. This is related to the fact that npp is a text editor and unlike word processors like MS Word, LibreOffice Writer it doesn’t save formatting information within the file. The coloring you see for programming languages like c/c++, python … are done on the fly and as already said, don’t persist on reload. So if you are still interested, then a possible solution might be to install python script plugin and define your own styles for different kind of actions. Cheers Claudia

@guy038 Thank you for the thorough explanation (?-si)<block.*?> works better than expected for me, even when inside the <block…> exceed 20 characters.

Hello, @kim-beach and All, May be I’m wrong but I’ll give a try ! The coloured icon, at the left of the file name, in tabs, may be : Blue, if it refers to a saved file, which has not been modified, since that time Red, if it refers to a modified file, which has not been saved, since that time Grey, if it refers to a file, with the N++ temporary flag Read-Only “ON” ( See the option Edit > Set Read-Only ) Just note that this N++ option is independent from the classical Read-Only flag of Windows. This N++ option is cancelled, as soon as you close the file or Notepad++. It just stays active, during the current N++ session, and prevents you for modifying the file, in any way ! I hope that it’s related to your problem ! Best Regards, guy038

Hello, @djmcg, @scott-sumner and All, I said, in that other post, below, that finding all files, which do not contain a specific string, was not easy, with our Boost regex engine and that we need to use a work-around to get the right results. However, we can easily build a regex which find all lines of files, which do not contain a specific string ! And, then, delete them, as and when :-)) https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/14870/regex-find-all-files-that-do-not-contain-some-words/2 In your example, this specific string seems to be the number 300000, preceded by a semicolon So, the regex S/R, below, should keep only lines containing the string ;300000 : SEARCH (?-s)(?!.*;300000)^.*\R REPLACE Leave EMPTY OPTIONS Regular expression and Wrap around checked => It remains, only lines that contain the string ;300000. Et voilà ! Notes : The first part (?-s) modifier means that dot will match any standard character, only and NOT the line breaks The last part ^.*\R is the range of characters to search for, that is to say, all characters of a line, even empty, along with its End of Line character(s) And, thanks to the middle part (?!.*;300000), which is a negative look-ahead, this search will be true, ONLY IF the string ;300000 cannot be found, from beginning of line, in the current line scanned And, as the Replacement part is empty, these lines are simply deleted As you see, you’ve got 4 solutions, to get the job done : With the LineFilter2 plugin With bookmarks With the Find result panel With regex S/R Enjoy N++ !! Cheers, guy038

Hello Scott, Wild guess: What’s missing is the files langs.xml and stylers.xml ? :-D :-) perfect answer i re-installed Notepad++ using the 64Bit Installer and it works perfect thanks for the fast help Michael

OK, so… I was wrong :-): CursorFX does have some kind of background process (some deets here: http://www.shouldiremoveit.com/CursorFX-6963-program.aspx). After uninstalling CursorFX & rebooting my laptop, the issue has resolved: I can now see my mouse pointer when it is over that line number & bookmark column. Cheers, Eric

@vorticusbot Did you see my screenshot here where I have 35 items on the recent file history list by editing config.xml and changing the value to 35 before running Notepad++?

@Hasso-Falisco Suppose you have a file named FilesToFind.txt that contains: filenameA filenameB filenameC Open a command window in the directory you want to search. Then enter this command: for /F %F in ('type FilesToFind.txt') do @dir /b %F If you also want to search in sub-directories, use: for /F %F in ('type FilesToFind.txt') do @dir /s /b %F That will spit out a list of the files that exist, which you may be able to use effectively.

@dail THAT DID IT!! Thank you!! @Scott-Sumner I didn’t see his suggestion until after I saw yours. Then I had to wait to post my thanks as I am but a fledgling on here. Thanks community!
