I second that request. Always confuses me.

Hi Harm, I may be wrong but I don’t think it is the quote, well, it isn’t the cause of the problem. From cmd shell point of view all three commands should work but the main difference is the backslash after the disk letter. Test 1 and 2 are the same but 3 is different in the meaning how path should be interpreted. From shells point of view p:“foto-archief harm\0 Testomgeving” means that there is a subdirectory foto-archief harm which again has a subdirectory 0 Testomgeving on drive p: relative to the current directory. Let’s assume that I want to get a list of all txt files in the python\npp directory which is a subdirectory of d:\scripts. I could easily do this by executing of of the following dir commands D:\scripts>dir /B python\npp\*.txt dummy.txt D:\scripts>dir /B "python\npp\*.txt" dummy.txt D:\scripts>dir /B "d:python\npp\*.txt" dummy.txt D:\scripts>dir /B d:"python\npp\*.txt" dummy.txt but what I can’t do is using this form D:\scripts>dir /B d:\"python\npp\*.txt" The system cannot find the path specified. D:\scripts>dir /B "d:\python\npp\*.txt" The system cannot find the path specified. Because the latter are absolute paths. A absolute path begins either with two backslashes (UNC) with a disk letter, colon AND a backslash with a backslash. Your notation p:foto-archief harm is relative. So if your current directory is p:\dir1\dir2 and there is a subdirectory foto-archief harm a dir p:foto-archief harm\ would do a listing in p:\dir1\dir2\foto-archief harm. So if you do a fourth test Robocopy p:\"foto-archief harm\0 Testomgeving" D:\backup\test /MIR /LOG+:H:\Dos_map\TESTLogfile.txt you will see it works as well. Cheers Claudia

@Claudia-Frank I am teaching a course on teaching students how to create Web pages and sites using Notepad++. We need to have a final exam/project at the completion of the course.

Bless you Claudia - you’ve made an old man very happy.

Hi, That worked like a charm, thank you very much!

Local in regars to the npp installation does mean configuration data, plugins and notepad.exe in one directory. So has nothing to do with your non-admin profile. I’ve asked the question because I wasn’t sure if your problem is solved or not. Cheers Claudia

Hello @pranami-desai, it is nearly impossible to answer this question as we don’t know what the users or adminsitrators did. It might be related to plugins, quotas, concurrent access etc… Espescially in terminal service environments you should have enough additional informations to see what has caused the issue. Cheers Claudia

Hi Justin, Firstly, I downloaded the entire contents of your .yaml file ( 5175 lines ) Secondly, I isolated the Presets section ( 4925 lines ) Thirdly, I understood that your special characters belongs : At the Miscellaneous symbols Unicode script, in the range [\x{2600}-\x{26FF}] ( See http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2600.pdf ) At the Dingbats Unicode script, in the range [\x{2700}-\x{27BF}] ( See http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2700.pdf ) Fourthly, I only, extracted the lines which contain one of these special Unicode characters. I got a list of 51 items, below : - - '✥ --- dscan: ships' - - '★ friendly: logistic' - - '♞ hostile: carriers' - - '★ friendly: dreads' - - '♞ hostile: battlecruisers' - - '♞ hostile: antibombers (!)' - - '♣ pve: salvage/loot' - - '★ friendly: capitals' - - '♞ hostile: fighters/fibos' - - '♞ hostile: dictors' - - ❏ hostile brackets - - '★ friendly: fleet' - - '♞ wartargets only' - - '★ friendly: sc/t' - - '♞ --- normal pvp' - - '✥ dscan: pos all mods' - - '♞ hostile: cruisers' - - '♣ pve: mining' - - '♞ hostile: logistics' - - ❏ no brackets - - ❏ skirmish brackets - - '✪ extra: podsaver (!)' - - '♞ hostile: cmd dest' - - '★ friendly: recons' - - '♞ hostile: drones' - - '✈ travel: show all' - - '♞ hostile: dreads' - - '♞ hostile: titans' - - '♞ structures' - - '♞ hostile: frig/dest' - - '♞ hostile: supers/titans' - - '♞ deployables' - - '♞ hostile: recons' - - '✈ travel: hide stations' - - '♣ pve: anoms/ratting' - - '♞ hostile: supercarriers' - - '♞ bombing warpouts' - - '♣ pve: show drones' - - '★ friendly: dictors' - - '★ --- friendly: all' - - '✈ --- basic travel' - - '♞ hostile: caps' - - ♣ --- basic pve - - ❏ default brackets - - '♞ npsi' - - '♞ hostile: cs/t3' - - '♞ hostile: battleships' - - '✥ dscan: pos' - - '♞ - ships only' - - '★ friendly: carriers' - - '✪ extra: align points' Finally, I performed a classical sort ( Menu Edit - Line Operations - Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending ) and I got the list below : - - '★ --- friendly: all' - - '★ friendly: fleet' - - '★ friendly: capitals' - - '★ friendly: carriers' - - '★ friendly: dictors' - - '★ friendly: dreads' - - '★ friendly: logistic' - - '★ friendly: recons' - - '★ friendly: sc/t' - - '♞ --- normal pvp' - - '♞ - ships only' - - '♞ bombing warpouts' - - '♞ deployables' - - '♞ npsi' - - '♞ structures' - - '♞ wartargets only' - - '♞ hostile: antibombers (!)' - - '♞ hostile: battlecruisers' - - '♞ hostile: battleships' - - '♞ hostile: caps' - - '♞ hostile: carriers' - - '♞ hostile: cmd dest' - - '♞ hostile: cruisers' - - '♞ hostile: cs/t3' - - '♞ hostile: dictors' - - '♞ hostile: dreads' - - '♞ hostile: drones' - - '♞ hostile: fighters/fibos' - - '♞ hostile: frig/dest' - - '♞ hostile: logistics' - - '♞ hostile: recons' - - '♞ hostile: supercarriers' - - '♞ hostile: supers/titans' - - '♞ hostile: titans' - - '♣ pve: anoms/ratting' - - '♣ pve: mining' - - '♣ pve: salvage/loot' - - '♣ pve: show drones' - - '✈ --- basic travel' - - '✈ travel: hide stations' - - '✈ travel: show all' - - '✥ --- dscan: ships' - - '✥ dscan: pos all mods' - - '✥ dscan: pos' - - '✪ extra: align points' - - '✪ extra: podsaver (!)' - - ♣ --- basic pve - - ❏ default brackets - - ❏ hostile brackets - - ❏ no brackets - - ❏ skirmish brackets Notes : You’ll notice that most of these “header” lines begin with the string - - ' Only five lines, which have a special character, instead of the single quote, are, of course, moved at the end of the sorted list. And, generally speaking, all these special Unicode characters are sorted, according to their Unicode number ( 2605 for the Black Star, 265E for the Black Chess Knight, and so on… ) So, If you agree, with that specific sort ( May be, at the end, you’ll have to move one or few blocks to an other place ! ) I’ll give you, next time, the complete method to get the sorted list of these “header” lines with ( the most important ! ) all their contents unchanged :-)) Cheers guy038
