Hi Guy038 ,

" the regexes : SEARCH = (?-s)^(.+\R)\1+ , REPLACE = EMPTY "

i do that step ,but nothing happen ,why so ,dear

@crogersts

Thanks for replying, I tried the switch and no it is the same unfortunately.

Are you sure? This switch disables the plugin manager - you still have the import
menu but you cannot load the plugins.

Cheers
Claudia

Hello, Antonio,

If you are sure that the last colon, of each line of your file, is the exact location which separates the two parts, of each line, to be reversed , an other formulation could be :

SEARCH : (?-s)^(.+):(.+)

REPLACE : \2: \1 ( with a space between the colon : and the back-reference \1)

Notes :

The (?-s) first part ensures that the dot special character ( . ) represents a single standard character and not any End of Line character

Then the part (.+):, look, from beginning of line ( ^ ), for the longest non-empty range of standard characters, followed by the last colon of each line, which is stored as group 1, due to round brackets

Finally, the part (.+), grabs all the remaining standard characters of the current line ( = all text after the last colon character ) and stores them in group 2

Best Regards,

guy038

Which type of installation do you use?

Notepad++ Installer 32-bit x86: Take this one if you have no idea which one you should take.
Notepad++ zip package 32-bit x86: Don’t want to use installer? Check this one (zip format).
Notepad++ 7z package 32-bit x86: Don’t want to use installer? 7z format.
Notepad++ minimalist package 32-bit x86: No theme, no plugin, no updater, quick download and play directly. 7z format.

The autoupdater is named gup.exe under Notepad++\updater and has a corresponding config file gup.xml. Gup.xml could be modified to avoid that the update page could be found or could be removed as in the minimalist package.

The gpup.exe in the same folder is the updater for the plugin manager.

Running npp as admin worked. I have never set it up that way and did not know. Thanks for your help :)

ouch!!

try opening the original pdf file using Notepad++
you may get lucky, and the contents may be cleartext (not compressed)

otherwise, try a different pdf to txt converter or try ocr software

good luck

I see you’ve posted exactly one time, so maybe the odds are good that you aren’t lurking and just waiting on an answer to your question, but since @Js-jS has refreshed this old thread, and @Claudia-Frank just yesterday posted something that may work to solve it, have a look at:

You should keep original Python then install Jupyter with ‘pip installer’ that is provided with python

http://jupyter.org/install.html

what happens when you save the html file in NPP and then open in web browser ?

you have to google the “png file format specification”, then open your png file using Notepad++

using the hex plugin, check that the format of your png file matches the specification.

if it does not match, then make the necessary corrections.

keep saving after every correction, and viewing the result.

using this method, it should take no more than 20 years to fix your file, depending on the size of the file, of course.

or …

you could submit your post someplace that deals with file recovery, not a place that discusses text editing.

put the cursor to the beginning of text, just before the “1”

press the delete key 24 times

those awful numbers should be gone

hope this helps

seriously … you did not describe the problem at all

this appears to me an html question

if you wrote poetry using Notepad++, would you post a question here regarding prose?
