Probably related to this.
Porting 32 bit OS to 64 bit while maintaining compatability is tricky.

@Gabriel-Clifton

Not too hard, try this:

Find-what zone: Word\x20$
Replace-with zone: Word,
Search-mode: Regular-expression

You can use a plain old space instead of the \x20 but I like to use \x20 here on this site because it is more visible. Either works when you are actually doing it.

So in the spirit of learning something, the $ is the key element here. It basically means end-of-line…so you are searching for W…o…r…d…space…followed by nothing else on the line. Replacement affects only those cases where a search match occurred, obviously.

Thanks @cmeriaux and @Scott-Sumner240 for the upvotes. I guess that’s adding to my ‘reputation’, right? Much appreciated!

Hello Ruby,

Are you using Notepad++ v7.5.1 and Compare Plugin v2.0 (by Pavel Nedev)?
If you are, could you specify the exact steps to reproduce the issue?

Best regards.

This is not a coding help forum. So, assuming you knew that, and are asking how to help automate the process of compiling and running from within Notepad++…

There are multiple ways to automate tasks like that. In the examples below, you will have to replace the “c:\path\to\pascal\compiler.exe” with the appropriate compiler and supply appropriate command-line arguments if it requires more than just the source code.

Using Notepad++ Run > Run, type a command similar to

cmd /k "c:\path\to\pascal\compiler.exe ^"$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)^" && ^"$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).exe^""

You can hit the SAVE button to put it in the Macro menu, and optionally give it a keyboard shortcut

Using the NppExec plugin, there are a few ways:

Output to an “NppExec Console” sub-window inside the main Notepad++ window:

Select Plugins > NppExec > Execute..., and use the command

cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "c:\path\to\pascal\compiler.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).exe"

Output to an “NppExec Console” sub-window inside the main Notepad++ window, keeping a cmd.exe prompt active in that window:

Select Plugins > NppExec > Execute..., and use the command

cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "c:\path\to\pascal\compiler.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" cmd /k "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).exe"

Output to a separate cmd.exe window:

Select Plugins > NppExec > Execute..., and use the command

cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" npp_run cmd /k "c:\path\to\pascal\compiler.exe ^"$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)^" && ^"$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).exe^""

There’s probably a way to do it with the PythonScript plugin as well

@MaDill
Thank you very much! Your advice helped me to change UI back. But there is another problem - plugins do not work (their UI do not appear at all as I click plugins to be shown). I suppose I should to create a new topic with this problem?

In reply to my own problem: I just installed v.7.4.2 and it seems to be working better.
I noticed several views to this topic. Unless I report back with something negative, this could be solved.

Thanks Scott. Much appreciated.
