  Hello, @bhogesh-waraprasad, @peterjones, @alan-kilborn and All, From this discussion, after some tests, here is an other generic regex which selects all the contents of all lines containing, exactly, N to M times, the Char character, per line : ^([^Char\r\n]*)(Char(?1)){N,M}$    or    ^([^Char\r\n]*)(Char(?1)){N}\R if you want to match their line-breaks, too So, you can, either, mark, delete or replace these lines ;-)) Notes : Char represents a single character, which is, usually, a non-word character ( A punctuation or symbol char ) N and M must be replaced with the appropriate integers ( For instance {2,4}, {5,}, {0,3}, {2} or even {0} ) So the search regex OP is ^([^;\r\n]*)(;(?1)){3}$ Best Regards, guy038

  @guy038 Well, it wouldn’t be as simple as removing the indicated line, as that would break other functionality. Truly, though, I haven’t thought too much about it. While I can kinda read C++, and I can use the Visual Studio debugger to step through its code, it isn’t my strong suit. Hmm, maybe I don’t have a “strong suit”. (Is that a known expression?) I leave it to others, but I’m fairly confident in my analysis presented earlier about this; I spent a bit of time single-stepping through it and looking at it.

  @John-Slee , Use the ? modifier to make an element of your regex less greedy (“find the shortest”). Good luck. ---- Do you want regex search/replace help? Then please be patient and polite, show some effort, and be willing to learn; answer questions and requests for clarification that are made of you. All example text should be marked as plain text using the </> toolbar button or manual Markdown syntax. Screenshots can be pasted from the clipboard to your post using Ctrl+V to show graphical items, but any text should be included as literal text in your post so we can easily copy/paste your data. Show the data you have and the text you want to get from that data; include examples of things that should match and be transformed, and things that don’t match and should be left alone; show edge cases and make sure you examples are as varied as your real data. Show the regex you already tried, and why you thought it should work; tell us what’s wrong with what you do get… Read the official NPP Searching / Regex docs and the forum’s Regular Expression FAQ. If you follow these guidelines, you’re much more likely to get helpful replies that solve your problem in the shortest number of tries. ----- I invoked the “Dail Critereon” for my answer

  @astrosofista said in Emojis Not Showing On Windows 7: However, after applying the script you provided, emojis are correctly displayed Great! Note that N++ version 7.8.7+ - that is to say whatever version will next be released looks to have this SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITE as an option in the Settings => Preferences => MISC. dialogue. But a script for now is just as good while we wait! Cheers.

  @Daniel-Hall So what did you do that it stopped working? Updated Npp? Updated windows? Installed some other app? What npp version are you running? (Can be seen as debug-info from ? menu)

  I found the Advanced Fin and Replace program. However, I was hoping that a brilliant notepad ++ can do that too. I would have one program less on my list;) Thank you for your help.

  Suggestion: Option to Close All before Session Load

  @PeterJones My preference would be for the Close All to be executed only when a new session is loaded, and then only optionally (either by a setting or a prompt). I think, for now I’ll just try to remind them at the beginning of each class to Close All before loading the new session. Thanks for the suggestions!

  Themes is something that doesn’t really work well in Npp, since, at first, it was only designed to “theme” the document, and later it was, more or less, adapted to the rest of the ui. Glitches like the one you mentioned are therefore unfortunately part of the problem.

  Done, So it quite easy. You should let .ini .txt attach to their default apps (notepad.exe) and simply change manually the reg info from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inifile HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inifile\shell\open\command pointing to Notepad++ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inifile\DefaultIcon The .ico of your choice and that it. You should avoid Windows to make the binding for you :)

  How to replace all content from XML tag with blank in notepad++?

  @PeterJones said in How to replace all content from XML tag with blank in notepad++?: Nitpick: it’s the . operator that is affected by (?-s), not the *, since the s flag is “dot matches newline”. But . wasn’t used in your expression, either, so the flag-clearing is still useless. :-) Yep, my bad, I stated a wrong reason, thank you for notice it :) Well, not completely useless. As we help people in the forums, always including either (?-s) or (?s) will ensure we never have to care what the status of their checkbox is, so having one of the two in our default answer-regex is a good idea. ;-) Agree, learned that in this forum, so the (?-s) modifier is my default setup. Cheers

  @Ekopalypse Wow, it seems to work after all. I tried with several files, opening and closing and it seems it does not change back to this ugly yellow skin. Thank you very much!
