Hello, @jijo,

Easy with regexes !

So, open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

SEARCH (data#1191 )\(dodo\).+

REPLACE \1dodo

Tick the Wrap aound option

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click once on the Replace All button

Voila !

Best Regards

When you find your macros becoming large and unwieldy, it may be time to move to scripting. Notepad++ has some excellent scripting plugins, in Python and Lua. But…scripting isn’t for everyone.

@PeterJones ,
I’m using Notepad++ 8.4.6. on Windows 10 Pro 22H2.

@Kevin-Golde said in Display Change History setting affects Printing:

Has anyone else had this problem?

Our Change History FAQ describes that problem, and links to the existing bug report for the problem.

@PeterJones Thanks Peter, I can work with that - I think I’ll use the portable zip version then (strange that I didn’t notice this before, thanks!).

@Wawuschel

What’s your plugin list look like?

@Alan-Kilborn why should I flame your posting in my thread???
…
Well listen, you were right.
Thank you for your contribution and have a good day my friend.

Hello @guy038

Thanks to your scheme to follow after 3 attempts (but only because I did not understand some terms well) I was able to reassemble the localization file.
Now the menu is in Italian, even if some terms are translated (cupola instead Cappello :)) but in any case everything is finally working.
The only regret is that I have received a great deal of breath on this comunity
known through research and use of the program, But I will never be able to reciprocate the help received towards anyone, as I hardly know the first basic commands :(

Anyway, thank you very much again

sincere greetings

@PeterJones

This is awesome and exactly what I was looking for, thanks for taking the time and explaining everything!
Just recorded the macro and will use it in the feature!

Just checking back in to see the latest.
Much love to all involved in producing this excellent piece of software that I have been using almost daily for years now.

@Mr-Nome

I supplied a solution for a very similar problem, see the post here.

Hopefully you can alter that solution to meet your needs, else come back to us and possibly someone can help further.

@Jari-Rubano

Probably THIS is the problem?

@Michael-Bär said in How to switch off "Changes marked Green"?:

But can I only use this Feature on-screen and not for printing?

As the FAQ post stated, the print issue will be resolved in time. So if you want to print without the colour issue follow the instructions mentioned.

Tx to whoever for implementing a solution to https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/10776 in v8.4.6 (though I didn’t spot it in the readme) i.e. a new contextual “Close Multiple Tabs” nested menu option which moves potentially destructive operations away from an easy mis-click.

:-)

@PeterJones Thank you for your patient explanation. I must admit that I must not have saved the Panels or Workspaces. I have some Workspaces saved with XML file extensions, but I did not really understand that Notepad does not track workspaces. I got confused because Project_Panel_1, Project_Panel_2, Project_Panel_3 never change names. I also recently found a lot of files in my Notepad++ “backup” folder that has the “lost” files, and I was able to load/restore them back into project panels.

From asking my question and reading your answer and the docs, I have a much better understanding of how things work.

Thank you.

@PeterJones thank you for the reply!

Sadly, I’m trying to make Npp change themes even while it’s running, so I’m leaning towards developing a plugin or a macro or something that will let me do that. I just need a Saturday off or something :D

@PeterJones Thanks so much for all the help. I got it done with the old version by just force clicking through it all. Pressing my IT dept to install the newest version. Thanks again!

@Vance-Neff I’ve also had some surprising behavior when deleting or moving lines in macros.

I suggest you abandon this approach, and instead, use a regex F&R to match a complete line containing the term, something like:

^.*?YOUR_TERM.*?$

and then, make sure the Replace with field is properly empty (no spaces).

Use Replace a few times to satisfy yourself replacements are being done as expected, then Replace All to act on the whole file.

@Terry-R Thank you. I’ll read through those, and possibly put in a request when I have enough time to formulate it properly!

I must have activated something by mistake…
But I don’t see what…
Can you help me ?
