If that comes close to what you want, then you can use

Keywords 1 = [fusion_ and [/fusion_ in prefix mode – this means that the highlighting will continue after the fusion_ through the last non-whitespace encountered in that “word” Keywords 2 = type sticky in prefix mode: without prefix mode, the = being immediately after the keyword means the keyword is not recognized. Alternately, you could turn off prefix mode, and instead include the = as part of the keyword. Here is an example of Keyword 3 = filter_sepia= filter_sepia_hover=, with peach-on-yellow coloring, with prefix mode not checkmarked:

Hopefully, this gets you started in the right direction.

@Mark-Olson said in Amazon review date regular expression doesn’t work e.g. December 23, 2021 /([A-Z][a-z]+) \d{1,2}, \d{4}/:

Eh, I wouldn’t worry too much about the fact that ChatGPT can generate a regex that matches that specification, since generate a regex that matches a date in such-and-such a format has probably appeared a lot of times in its training data.

A very dear friend of mine would frequently shout in frustration, “Why don’t you just answer the question?!” after doing a Google search. Despite being very intelligent and reasonably computer-savvy, she could not seem to escape the illusion that the search was responding to what she asked and not just matching words. So I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that people using ChatGPT can’t keep in mind that it literally does not know what it is talking about. At best, it’s as accurate as the average source in its training data, which… should give us all pause…

@James-Richters ,
I’m not sure what the problem is that you’re having as I just created a UDL using your code, a sample file from the one you provided, and it seems to be working fine for me without that multicolored Power keyword. There is one with it and I can’t find in your definition for the UDL where those singular or grouped letters would do that goofy multi color stuff. Here’s a screen shot of what I have after I typed in the Power Off keyword set:

@Mark-Olson is right though, that any other coloring changes that would need to have a Regex needed such as your need for a if/or condition should be done using the EnhanceAnyLexer plugin.

@Thomas-Shelby
You are possibly asking someone who hasn’t been on the forum for a long time, and the post is really old as well.

Why don’t you just explain the issue you are having and maybe a current forum member can help you?

We’d need to know the file type (normally the file extension) as that can have a bearing on the issue. Also where it’s located. Consider copying that file to a folder close to the root (something like C:\temp folder) and see if it opens.

What happens when you try to open the file?

@tomas-chrastina said in Unable to load Auto Complete file:

Hi,

finally I downloaded files. I checked file using XML Tools, and found errors. So you need to correct them.

First you should use escaped characters for attribute values of generated XML file (it will solve most of errors I can see):
< -> <
> -> >
& -> &
" -> "
…

To change this lines containing special characters like:

<Param name="&flags"/> <Overload retVal=">" ...

I don’t know python, but it should be easy to implement escaping for you I guess -> Escaping XML.

Then simply use XML Tools to check file, until it will be correct.

Hint: You can use for new line in descr attribute. It will made file easier to read.

descr="1st Line

2nd Line"

--- Best regards, Tomas.

Thanks.

You haven’t defined your chosen browser that you want to use, so minus that information, very little factual help can be provided. However, if you are wanting to use the Firefox Browser, the below pic will show you want you’re looking for there, by clicking Settings->Applications and choose the file type you want opened by default by the Notepad++ application, click the right menu selection, and then select Use other... and browse to your chosen application.

@cchalkiopoulos said in Greek capital letter 'Α punctuated does not appear correctly:

That is a very detailed answer. For sure you have covered all angles of this issue.

Your 2 suggestions make sense to me and I have actually tried the 1st one and it works fine for me to change the encoding to Greek/Windows-1253.

From my side it is totally fine to mark this thread as being resolved.
I’m however very curious to the fact that you do not consider this as a bug on Notepad++.
I will try to phrase this as follows: “A certain file is displayed correctly with Notepad but with Notepadd++”. Isn’t this fixable?

Many thanks for your time.
Honest regards,
Christos C.

Thanks.

@Duck said in Updating removed all my recent files?:

Is this intended, and is there any way to restore said files?

No it is NOT intended, however with any system there can be issues.

Unfortunately you have fallen victim to using the default backup system without understanding how it actually operates. Many have suffered the same issue as you and in almost every case all we can recommend you do is read the FAQ post Periodic Backup vs AutoSave Plugin. In there is information on where any possible backup files might be.

If you are really lucky it will just be that the session.xml file which has been cleared. If so then the backup files will likely still exist. Read that post, it will explain it all.

Please also heed the recommendations made there. If you learn anything at all (even if your critical files are lost) it is that you need to set what type of backup system you will use in future and understand the processes going on.

Hello, @david-l,

But, regarding the two last cases :

amounts 1234 and 4567 amount A1A1

do they need to be followed with a space or dot character as well ?

Remember: regular expressions are a school of precision ! Each character and its position has its importance !

Best Regards,

Amazing. The man answers your question in a straight forward and informative manner, and you read ''annoyed" in it? Wow, you’ve shown super powers of wokeness. Moving on. Downgrading post.
And yes, that was a conveyed “annoyed” response on my part.

@PeterJones Okey, I will try to implement what you said.
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much Mark and Guy for taking the time to answer my request. It is really appreciated!

Have a nice evening

@Antonio-Guerriero ,

You just want it to be “any token that ends in a : should be considered a LABEL”? Yeah, the User Defined Language lexer isn’t designed to be that complicated: it is intended for a specific list of keywords

The EnhanceAnyLexer plugin will allow you to add a regex to change the foreground of matching text on a per language (per UDL, or per builtin lexer). Assuming that the LABEL has to be the first non-whitespace sequence on a line, and must be only alphanumeric-and-underscore-before-:, then the following should make your LABEL green.

[your_udl_name_here] 0x00CC00 = ^\h*\w+:

@Pavel__A ,

“base” Notepad++ has no problem with File > Reload From Disk. The symptoms you have described are almost definitely related to the HEX-Edit plugin, not Notepad++ itself. You can try to put in an issue here, but there are a lot of open issues on that plugin, and I won’t guarantee that it will be fixed. (The release history over the last few years seems to focus mostly on “crashes”, not any new features or minor bug improvements.)

@guy038 said in Looking for string search that includes the & mnemonic:

I noticed that the search is a non-sensitive search

If you wanted a “sensitive” search you could add (?-i) to the start(s) of the expressions you input at the prompt.

@gendalv said in Search for a list of strings in another file.:

although I had to figure out how to actually run a python script in np++, ended up installing PythonScript plugin, which is also not obvious, how to add a script to, but, after some fiddling

You could have found quicker answers had you consulted this site’s FAQ entry for : How to install and run a script in PythonScript

@Alan-Kilborn thank you for this clear answer.

@Mark-Olson said in remove correlative text from multiple lines:

try using \s

And note that \h is often better than \s.
\s will match end-of-line characters which isn’t always what people expect.
