For the Powershell case, there’s a Notepad++ “issue”, see HERE.

@Uwe-Recknagel As an additional hint, the information found HERE seems directly applicable to an aspect of the problem you are trying to solve.

Hi, @wing-yang, @peterjones, @mapje71 and All, In the last part of my previous post, I proposed a regex which does not use any conditional statement : (?x) ^ [^(\r\n]* (?: \( (\d{3}) \) | (?1) - ) (?1) - \d{4} However, this regex can simply be improved by using the @peterjones’s look-behind structure, instead of the negative class character : (?x) (?<!\() (?: \( (\d{3}) \) | (?1) - ) (?1) - \d{4} which allows to get several occurences in a single line, as below : abc (123)456-7890 def 123-456-7890 ghi BR guy038

@PeterJones said in How find in selection by key alt? Hello.: But trying to search across multiple rows in the rectangle I would think that anything the developers implemented for rectangular selection searching/replacing could have the caveat that each row (the selected part) is independent and you can’t search across rows with it. And that’s what my replace-all script assumes as well. IMO, that kind of thing (the possibility to search/replace across rows defined by the rectangular selection), is NOT what has prevented the developers from adding the feature to date.

@Peter-Hellen , Are you on the same computer, or different computers? Or did you re-install Notepad++ or update NppCrypt between uses? I seem to remember that NppCrypt did a major update at some point… … searching for NppCrypt posts … ahh, there, this post links to a FAQ by the NppCrypt author that might be of use to you.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks - that worked a treat. My problem was not that I couldn’t read but that I thought the two files had to replace others in the zip file I had downloaded and there were no .dll files to replace. Again, thanks for your help!

@PeterJones the expression worked, i had to check “Reguläre Ausdrücke” instead of “Erweitert”. thanks Jones =)!

@Chan-Tao , See this note from the author

Yes. I’ve pointed this out before, myself. I think the predatory ads key on the real word “download” on the site, and do their “dirty work” because of that. It is often a sad world we live in. :-)

@Steffan-Rhoads , I created issue #12079 asking for a fix to allow temporarly-missing files to stay in the session.

@PeterJones I didn’t think of checking the command line, thanks! The error appeared there, too. This might be the first time I’ve been glad to see a module error – thank you! It turns out a program I had also had python.exe, and Notepad++ was using that Python instead. Uninstalled the program, MatPlotLib works perfectly! Thank you!

@Andi-Kiissel said i: With WordWrap=ON this script behaves differently than Scintilla End/Shift+End default, but that’s OK for me I considered this case, but I didn’t see an easy way to handle it. As line “breaks” caused by word-wrap are artificial, it would be extremely rare for me to want to move to one. So wrap consideration got defeatured from the spec for this problem. :-)

@PeterJones Thank you! That is exactly what I needed.

@Martin-Mortensen said in Notepad ++ install won't run on this computer: I just got a new computer and tried to install Notepad++ I get the message “This app can’t run on your PC” I’m trying to run npp.8.4.4.Installer.x64.exe. And I was wondering if possibly (given it’s a new PC) that Windows is running in S mode. If so, only apps from the Microsoft Store will install. However the error message (if what you gave is accurate) doesn’t appear to match what I thought it would say. However to check, read this Microsoft page. Terry

@Faraz-Ketabi Thanks a lot.

@qwertz_1234 , Natively, no. Notepad++ is a text editor, not a spreadsheet. Open your text file in Excel or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc or some other spreadsheet application, do the math, and save it again. If you are willing to use a scripting plugin for Notepad++, it can be done, with more work. The Mathematical Replacement FAQ has all the details you need if you are willing to put in the effort yourself.

When I said before: There is a method for organizing related scripts into subfolders, but it requires some additional code in startup.py to make that work. For more detail on that, see HERE.

@Cubilas I assume you want something like this.

@kolos-1212 said in Notepad++ took over my Win 10 Notepad w/o my permission "Please reinstall Notepad Starter": @Ekopalypse It did happen to me as well. I downloaded it from Admin Plugins so I guess it is official if I can directly access it from notepad++. Official was used in the context of “developed by the npp developer”, so, no, this plugin is/was developed by someone else. I surely didn’t want something like this to happen and I am wasn’t really reading what it does I just needed it for some function to test lol. I don’t understand, what other functionality does this plugin have? Hmm … sounds like you are the perfect candidate for scammers and the like. Be careful.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. Again, we fixed this issue.
