    Claudia,

    My data is always in the same format, so a macro would work. Thank you very much for the coding!

    Because nobody has added it. Many of the themes are missing certain colors for languages for as in this case for an entire language.

    MYSql and MSSql are database servers, you can’t used it as webservers.
    I would recommend you download XAMP together with XAMP Control Panel,
    makes life even easier.
    And if you have portableapps installed you could download it from there.
    If you have problems setting it up let me know.

    Cheers

    Hello Alex-Bell
    I guess this can be done by using Find/Replace dialog.
    \n is used to represent LF.
    You either have to selext Extended or regular expression in seach mode.
    But be warned, windows eol is \r\n so be careful when replaceing \n.

    Cheers

    Hello John-R-Ownby-Hibner,

    what do you mean by

    keeps getting a ‘special character’ added

    ?
    Does it mean while editing the file you suddenly have those chars listed?
    Can you check which encoding is used when editing the file?
    Which npp version and operating system do you use?
    Where does this file come from? Different os like Linux, Mac, …

    Can you make a screenshot and upload it to imgur or similar hosters?
    imgur, no registration required.

    I still think this is related to the session snapshot and periodic backup functionality.
    A few questions

    I have a number of bash and perl scripts that depend on the size of a file after an editing session

    What means editing session? You edited the file or the bash/perl scripts?

    What I’ve seen from npp (Notepad++), is that if you just close the editor, it will write the file, but it doesn’t shrink the size of the file to the new smaller size.

    As said, this sounds like snapshot and periodic backup functionality is ative, because otherwise
    npp would ask you whether to save any of the modified files. Is this the case? Does npp
    ask you to save the files if you close the editor?

    It is updating the file, in that the content is gone on next edit, or run (if a script), but the file size does not change!

    How do you check that the file size didn’t change? Did you try to open that file with a different
    editor, preferable a hex editor? Is it still empty?

    Cheers
    Claudia

    I still think you can’t blame npp if windows shuts down abnormally but I understand
    your argument that having mru list and opened files recorded more often it might
    have recognized it when starting up again but still, there cannot be a guarantee that
    it will always work. Btw. do you know that there is a backup and session snapshot functionality?
    Settings -> Preferences -> Backup-> “Enable session snapshot and periodic backup” maybe this
    can assist you in addition. In the meantime you could ask for an enhancment/feature request
    here.

    Cheers

    It depends what you downloaded exactly. The exe can be ran by Windows, the zip can be extracted by Window’s default zip application, and the 7z can be opened by 7-Zip.
