@alan-kilborn said in How to show ascii value of one selected character or a double byte character?:

I will create an issue on your github page

I did this HERE.

(Sorry for getting off-topic.)

@peterjones
Thank you very much. Everything is perfect.

@guy038 Thanks Guy and Terry

this is a machine file so certain piece have more operations than others (operations like Dimple)

terry’s code worked really well. Thank you again Terry, now i just have to do the reading to comprehend

@lisa ,

Not built in. Notepad++ does not know how to remote-control Chrome (or any other app)

That said, as a workaround, just copy the URL from Chrome yourself, and paste it into your Notepad++ document.

Or use Chrome’s built-in bookmark feature, as that is that feature’s reason existence

How to fix this problem?

Thanks!

this happened to me too, just remove textfx and reinstall it, problem is am already defined macro (alt-shift-s) that is conflicting with textfx

It’s already been reported to the PythonScript devs: https://github.com/bruderstein/PythonScript/issues/234

@peterjones I will give pythonscript plugin a try. Thank you. Really appreciate a detailed answer.

@peterjones
Woot my company installed the latest version of NotePad ++ so very happy

I just noticed an ISSUE that seemed very relevant to this thread.

@guy038

I try myself to find a generic, from your regex. Works well, except doesn’t work for " (double quotes) because is repeated in the tag construction. I change those extra quotes on the content of tags, with a work, like “BOOM” and it find/replace it well beetween start and ending tag.

These are the generic regex for your second solution. Are almost the same, short and long version. Makes the same thing, find and replace just well between start and ending tags.

(?<!=\x20)(?<!=)FR(?!>|ESR|\x20>|\x20/>|\?>|\x20\?>|BSR)

OR

(?<!=\x20)(?<!=)FR(?!>|ESR|\x20>|\x20/>|\?>|\x20\?>|\x20BSR)

OR

(?<!=\x20)(?<!=)FR(?!>|ESR|\x20\?>|\x20BSR)

Hello @kanagi, @alan-kilborn and All,

In addition to the Alan’s python script, I advice you to read this post first

Then, if not confidential, you could share with us some text with possible hidden parts and we’ll probably be able to find out some regexes to bookmark the non-hidden sections or the hiden ones !

See you later,

Best Regards

@vincil-stockdale ,

It works for me: select multiple lines, hit TAB to move them one tabstop right, and Shift+TAB to move them one tabstop left, which is exactly what I expect:

@massimo-la-terra said in select products with a certain category (tag):

thanks for the answer, sorry for my translated English, in practice with a click I would like to display only the products of the Subcategory> SALUMERIA </Subcategory>

Notepad++ is an editor, not an XML Presentation filter, so it will never give you exactly that. Its job is to make it easy to edit the raw text as a whole, not easy to just see filter the sub-categories you want

My first set of instructions will allow you to hide everything, and then you just do the search (as described above) to find the next occurrence of that; after you’ve cycled through enough “Find Next”, you will have shown all the product groups with the subcategory SALUMERIA. Problem solved.

For example,

start with <Product> <irrelvant>...</irrelvant> <Subcategory>SALUMERIA</Subcategory> <irrelvant>...</irrelvant> </Product> <Product> <irrelvant>...</irrelvant> <Subcategory>OTHER</Subcategory> <irrelvant>...</irrelvant> </Product> <Product> <irrelvant>...</irrelvant> <Subcategory>SALUMERIA</Subcategory> <irrelvant>...</irrelvant> </Product> <Product> <irrelvant>...</irrelvant> <Subcategory>OTHER</Subcategory> <irrelvant>...</irrelvant> </Product>

So there are two products in the SALUMERIA subcategory, and two that aren’t.
2. Hit Alt+0 to hide everything

3. FIND = <Subcategory>SALUMERIA</Subcategory>

4. FIND NEXT will show the second one as well:
31a7eb58-9bbd-403a-89b5-8be4b4b45ed4-image.png
5. Repeat FIND NEXT until they have all been revealed.

It’s not a single click, but it doesn’t take all that long.

Find: local Cooldown = \d+
Repl: local Cooldown = 0
Search mode: Regular expression

@mkupper said in Word-wrap crashes TextFx in npp 8.4 and newer:

discovered that 8.4, 8.4.1, and 8.4.2 are all broken

Nope, it is not Notepad++ that is broken. It’s the plugin.

@mscislawin said in Regular replace does not work with multiple single quotes:

when i copy that and paste it to n++ and do the normal find plus normal replace and want to replace all ‘’ with ’ it only replaces first occurence of the ‘’

Did you click Replace or did you click Replace All after setting up Find what: '' and Replace With: ' ?

Because

It does exactly what I’d expect

@alan-kilborn said in Add line break in paste after multi-editing:

wait for someone else to try it, and weigh in on how it went for them

I installed the script, selected old text and verified it was in the clipboard by pasting. Then I selected two or three disjoint sections in multi-select mode, ran the script, and then pasted, and it pasted each section of the new multi-section data with a newline between, so worked exactly as I believe it was described.

@Spiros-Doikas , you should look at Plugins > Python Script > Show Console after running the script, and see if it is giving you an error message.

@george-worley

AFAIK the only way is to press Esc which closes the “Find” window.

@hulu2007

What does “repeated” mean in this case?
Time-based, event-based, or other triggers?
Because if you are the only one editing these files it
might be better to run the script once and then use
another script that ensures that files from that location
use Ansi encoding.

That’s a bummer. And modifying the source code for something like this seems like a hassle for me. So I’ll probably ignore it :)

In VS Code (might need extensions though), for example, regions that are in comments (// #region and // #endregion) are supported (in languages like JS, PHP). It’d be nice to have something similar in Notepad++ too.

I usually use VS Code when I’m working on a project, but for quick modifications, I prefer Notepad++. So I definitely want to see Notepad++ improve.
