@alan-kilborn Ah okay, yes its very simple, sorry haha. Thank you so much :)

@alan-kilborn

Thanks for that link. Learned something new today :)

@peterjones Thanks for the info. Apologies, I should I have checked the plugin first. I’ll keep an eye out for the changes.

Thanks again for your help.

@peterjones
Thank you! That was indeed the case.

@jdx-john said in Search ignoring whitespace:

love if there was a simple “Ignore whitespace” checkbox alongside “Match case” and “Match whole word only”.

So it would be?:

ignore whitespace in the Find what expression ignore whitespace in the text that is searched both

I don’t suppose this might be considered a feature request

Feature requests are not made here (well, if you want them to be seen by the developers). See HERE for how to make a proper one.

If you tried to default the recovery function from the proxmox? If you are searching for good backup options, you can try to download the CCleaner first, clean the registry, and set the backup point.

@abhinav-kganan said in How to disable plugin on startup:

Your suggestion worked actually

Which one?
We probably could have given you better suggestions quicker if you’d have elaborated more on what you wanted/needed to do.
Sure, if all it was was “disable plugins”, then I guess we got you there. :-)

@reddit-mod

Instructions and sample usage (for a slightly different problem) here.

If the data you’ve shown is truly the data you’re working with, you can achieve what you want with much simpler techniques. You could start with an empty file, insert a column with ascending numbers, then, either using a macro or a regex F&R, add in the rest of the (multiline) fixed text at the end of each line.

@e-l said in Delete Partially Duplicate Lines:

.17763.[123456789][0123456789] : deletes within asterix, dot after 17763 is literal, square brackets each pair indicates 1 acceptable character

There are some issues with the description of your regex. The first wrong belief is that the DOT following the string 17763 is a literal DOT, instead it represents a single character position, whatever that character is. Given you say “do not check . matches newline” then the DOT will not equal end of line characters.
Second inaccuracy is thinking you need to identify every number within each of your 2 [ ] groups. You can represent these as [1-9] and [0-9] as they are comprised of consecutive characters in each group. If; for example; you wanted to identify [01236789] you would write this as [0-36-9].
Also be careful with the .* as this is greedy. If your line contains multiple 17763 strings then the greedy modifier will consider the last 17763 string to be the important one. Probably not really a problem here but in other tests you may find incorrect results.

I think you need to start with basics in learning regex. If you look in our FAQ section you will find posts that will steer you in the right direction. I feel you may need to undo some of your beliefs. Be aware that there are several forms of regex. By reading from our FAQ you will see the one used within Notepad++.

In the end I suppose what I say may well fall on deaf ears. You have something that (in your mind) achieves the desired result. So good on you for trying it yourself.

@виктор-минин

Probably a better place to report this.

Cheers.

@peterjones Thank you. I’ll check it out right now.

@balaji-palavalli ,

The FileSwitcher you referenced has not been updated since 2009. It’s missed quite a few API changes required to be able to work with v8.3.3. Now, not every plugin uses every aspect of the API, so it might not use any incompatible calls: So if you have 32-bit Notepad++ v8.3.3, and if you download the UNI (unicode) version of the plugin, and if you put the plugin’s DLL in the correct subdirectory (c:\program files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\FileSwitcher\FileSwitcher.dll , assuming a standard 32 bit installation), it might work. (Oh, it actually appears to be available through the Plugins Admin in the 32bit Notepad++, so it’s easier to get… and the most recent v8.3 API changes don’t affect 32bit, so it’s a good chance that it will still work for you on 32bit Notepad++)

But unless someone has un-officially forked it, there isn’t a modern/maintained version of FileSwitcher for you to download, or a 64bit version. I did find a couple forks by trusted users on GitHub, but none of them have published updated binaries. @chcg has a version that I cannot see has any changes relative to the original, so it probably wouldn’t help. @Predelnik has a version here which claims to have fixes so that it can be compiled 64bit… but again, doesn’t share any binaries, so you would have to be willing to download and compile from source yourself.

But if you are willing to use Notepad++ 32-bit, you should be able to use that plugin.

@alan-kilborn said in Simply, what is this icon? Can't find anything online.:

I’m surprised that section of the manual doesn’t mention the tab icon.

PR#352. Does it look okay to you, @Alan-Kilborn ?

Hello, @neil-schipper,

Thanks for pointing this to me ! So, I replaced the two plus signs with two star symbols, in my previous post

Make sure Remember current session for next launch is unticked (the opposite of what I show it set at):

@evidence-bot

You would want to write a program to do this (don’t know if you are capable of this or not).

Non-programming techniques are problematic because there is really no way to verify sequential numbers on successive lines.

It could be done if you didn’t need this verification. In this case one presumes that what comes after the bottom line on the left is something with a different pattern than the four lines shown. Thus the 42 in the first line could be “grabbed” and the 45 in the fourth line could be grabbed, and the single line could be constructed and replace the set of 4 lines.

Only you know your data, and you’d need a better problem statement for better help.

I tested my monitor with tv box. I can also see the patterns.

It is my monitor fault.
Case closed.

@macky-cabangon said in random orange arrows and "CRLF" all over. how to remove?:

I do not know how to remove them. Any ideas?

Firstly, they aren’t random, they exist to represent characters you do not normally see. The arrows represent tabs and the CR & LF represent end of line markers. More detail is in the online manual here. You also have the space character represented by an orange dot, maybe you did not notice that?

They don’t display without being requested to. Maybe you did not intend to select the Show All Characters, but I think that is what you have done. You can easily turn that option off again.

@guy038 omg thank you

@alan-kilborn excellent…thank you.
