@PeterJones Thank you!
Removing CSVLint resolved my problem!

@CaspersDad said in Search result not finding text strings that should be there?:

If this is the case would Notepad++ not be able to find what I am looking for?

Probably it won’t be able to do that.

Especially now that I see the sort of page under consideration… it’s possible that “Where do you want your auction displayed?” isn’t even in the HTML file for the page at all — it might be inserted by scripting, either server-side or client-side, so that it changes when conditions change (maybe changing to “Your auction will be displayed in:” once the user has made a choice).

If this is a generic question as to being able to search web pages in Notepad++, the answer is, “It depends; it will sometimes be useful, it will never be 100% reliable.” If you have a specific use case, we might be able to help, but more likely you will need to consult with someone who understands the framework behind these web pages to get useful advice.

@Grether2000 said in FunctionList not working for UDL:

I’ll need to add some other matches for other machines and their comment formats.

When you’ve got it working, feel free to submit your UDL and its FunctionList to the UDL Collection – right now, it doesn’t have a section for FunctionList, but since FunctionLists can be associated with UDLs, I think it makes sense to add a folder to house them.

—

Update: The UDL Collection repo now has the functionList folder, and has the attributes and validators necessary to handle Function List definitions for the UDLs as well.

@wojh8547tg said in Find in files:

I just had to write it like this:
^(ParteNumero||OKE_ID||OKE_IDCODE).*\K_\d{1,5}

Double || because | was part of the name.

You apparently didn’t read my answer. Double || means “ParteNumero OR nothing or OKE_ID or nothing or OKE_IDCODE” Since those groups can contain “nothing”, you will once again match more than you expect to match.

as I said before, if you want to match a literal | , you need to have \| in your regex. I even gave you an example of how to use it, but you chose to ignore me. Good luck with that.

@runeoerndrup

You of course read the FAQ section of this site when you first came here, right?
And you saw THIS didn’t you?
But that must not have helped?

@Ekopalypse

Thank you very much

@PeterJones Thank you very much, it works on 8.6.7 portable :) .

(?1$2 $1:)

You’re a lifesaver! Thank you so much!

@Vercinger How are you opening multiple files at once? I believe knowing that would both allow for reproducing the issue and suggesting workarounds.

You have already found one workaround which is to use v7.8.6 but there is likely a better way.

@dcmdcmdcm ,

If all your plugins have 64bit versions, then it was time to move as soon as they released the 64bit versions. If you have a plugin that isn’t in the 64bit list that you absolutely have to use, then you shouldn’t change to 64bit.

That was the answer “years ago” as well.

Since we don’t know what plugins are critical to your Notepad++ usage, there’s no way for us to answer you.

If you look at your ?-menu’s Debug Info, it will tell you what plugins you are using (and if you share it here, tell us as well). And https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/blob/master/src/pl.x64.json is the list of all the 64bit plugins that the Plugins Admin tool knows about. If all your plugins are in that list, then you would likely have no difficulty in finally switching to 64bit. If one or more of your plugins aren’t in that list, you’ll have to look at their individual repos to determine whether they have 64bit versions. If you find any that don’t, ask yourself whether they are truly critical to your needs or not, then ask us if there are 64bit alternatives that will give you some or all of the same features that you need.

@Stiggles said in Page margins like in a word processor?:

The ability to add some top padding would be great. The top line of text has no padding at all.

Did you read my last post in this discussion? The library that Notepad++ uses doesn’t have the feature to add top/bottom padding, so Notepad++ cannot make use of a non-existent feature. Someone who wanted that feature would have to request it from the library, they would have to implement it, and then Notepad++ would have to update its copy of the library. Since no one has taken step 1, saying “me too” is futile.

@Coises said:

Curiously, because this current topic is really focused on “Way to tell if clipboard has column-block in it before pasting?” (from its title), it doesn’t, until @Coises posted, reference MSDEVColumnSelect.

However, these topics do:

And, Scintilla code discusses it, too, HERE.

To future readers:

As of v8.6.6, you don’t need my script anymore to enable the GLOBALCLASS keywords. Instead, follow the instructions in this post.

@Shohreh Forgive me for asking the obvious, but I have to ask… did you try unchecking Replace by space (near the bottom right of your screen shot)? Does that not do what you want?

If you mean that you want to use spaces for indentation in the document, but you want the backspace key in indentation to go back an indentation level instead of one space, the option to do that isn’t accessible from Notepad++ itself, but I think the Backspace unindents option in the ExtSettings plugin does that. You can install that from Plugins | Plugins Admin….

Hi, @john-goewie, @coises and All,

@coises, I’ve analyzed your method and, really, your method is quicker and more efficient than mine ! However, for more than, let’s say, a dozen of lines to concatenate, I suppose that building the associate regexes would be tedious !

BTW, I tried a variant of your method which works fine, too :

In this variant, I prefered to not use the \t separator and included the EOL of groups 8 to 13 within the groups themselves !

Thus, from this INPUT text :

mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\CLAP mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\HIHAT mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\KICK mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\PERCUSSION mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\CRASH mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\SNARE mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\STAB SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Clap SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Hihat SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Kick SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Perc SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Ride SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Snare SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Stab " " " " " " " " " " " " " " H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Clap H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Hihat H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Kick H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Perc H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Ride H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Snare H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Stab " " " " " " "

The regex S/R is a bit simplified and becomes :

SEARCH (?-s)^(.*)\R(.*)\R(.*)\R(.*)\R(.*)\R(.*)\R(.*)\R(.*\R)(.*\R)(.*\R)(.*\R)(.*\R)(.*\R)(.*)

REPLACE $1$8$2$9$3$10$4$11$5$12$6$13$7$14

and, after 3 clicks on the Replace All button, we get :

mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\CLAPSAMPLECD1 - Techno - Clap" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Clap" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\HIHATSAMPLECD1 - Techno - Hihat" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Hihat" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\KICKSAMPLECD1 - Techno - Kick" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Kick" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\PERCUSSIONSAMPLECD1 - Techno - Perc" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Perc" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\CRASHSAMPLECD1 - Techno - Ride" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Ride" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\SNARESAMPLECD1 - Techno - Snare" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Snare" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\STABSAMPLECD1 - Techno - Stab" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Stab"

Then, the simple S/R, below, adds the missing \ character, right before the first SAMPLECD1 string

SEARCH (?-i)[^\\](?=SAMPLECD1)

REPLACE $0\\

Giving the expected OUTPUT text :

mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\CLAP\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Clap" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Clap" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\HIHAT\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Hihat" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Hihat" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\KICK\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Kick" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Kick" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\PERCUSSION\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Perc" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Perc" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\CRASH\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Ride" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Ride" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\SNARE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Snare" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Snare" mklink /D "E:\Drum LIB\STAB\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Stab" "H:\SAMPLEBASE\SAMPLECD1 - Techno\SAMPLECD1 - Techno - Stab"

@Terry-R nice, it works, thanks :-)

Thanks. It helped. :)

@Nessa-Carson That seems like a mouse and or keyboard issue.

An HP Spectre is a laptop that has a single monitor. Do you have a second monitor attached? Do you have an external mouse and or keyboard attached? Does your machine have one of those flat pad mice in front of the keyboard?

If you have the flat pad mouse thing in front of the keyboard then plug an external mouse and external keyboard into the machine and try Notepad++ with those. The flat pad mouse things are notorious for causing issues as people touch them accidentally when using the keyboard.

If you are using an external keyboard and mouse then unplug both and see if Notepad++ has issues using the mouse and keyboard built into the laptop.
