To borrow an idiom from GitHub: 🚀

@peterjones said in I did not receive the email from this forums to confirm my email...:

On the other hand, when I click on @MelchiorGaspar , it takes me to a 404-page-not-found error.

And you don’t show up in the recent users list.

Oh, that’s because you’ve had an account since 2017 (as I can see from searching on the users page for “melch”, which narrows the search down to
065492fa-2045-4200-81a6-2f4f7958acde-image.png … so that explains why you weren’t in the new users.

But it’s still strange that your profile seems to exist and you can post from it (and that at some point, you were able to set your avatar/profile picture), but that your profile doesn’t seem to be externally visible and returns 404. Someone with more power on the forum than me (maybe @guy038, if he’s around sometime soon) will have to take a look at your account to see what’s different about it.

Given that I have confirmed that there is something wonky with your account specifically (given the 404), I will delete the dummy @e-pryrt account, since it’s not actually needed.

I may have used a different login before… I thought I had an account here before… but could remember what I used to login… so I logged in with GitHub this time which imported my avatar and username…

I use this regex to find ANSI characters in all my documents:

FIND: ¾|Ð|¼|°|Ñ|Ä|¢|º|ª|Å|Ÿ|ž|È|æ|Ã|¢|£|®|º|©|€|§|®|™|¢

in almost all ANSI characters these signs are repeated: ¾|Ð|¼|°|Ñ

But I use that longer regex, to make sure I don’t miss anything.

@peterjones said in select language by name and not by extension:

I think I will submit that as a bug report / feature improvement.

Priority order on heuristic: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11504

UTF-16 BE/LE ignores heuristic: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11505

@guy038 said in Delete the entire content of all files with less than 100 words:

\A[^\w]*(?:\w+[^\w]+){0,4}(?:\w+[^\w]*)?\z

My joy is that, thanks to my regex, an alternative method has been discovered, quite good.

thank you @guy038

@susanne-senger said in Notepad++ link in SendTo Folder does not work any more:

if I highlight some files (up to 8)

Did you try with just ONE file? Does that work?
(refer to Peter’s post where he says You also mentioned “a bunch of files”… which you clearly didn’t read…)

Could you provide a screenshot illustrating the issue, so we can see where the cut-off happens?

Do you have DirectWrite active in the Notepad++ preferences?

@drawing-with-jakob-dam said in Theme creation: How to choose separate color for...:

I’ve tried to copy the line to the HTML section and given it a unique styleID, but it didn’t work.

Unfortunately, you cannot just arbitrarily copy XML from one language’s settings to another. Well, you can, but it won’t do anything.

Each language’s lexer has its own bit of code that decides what will and what won’t be syntax highlighted; it reads the XML configuration for that language, and on the StyleID’s that it recognizes, it applies the styling defined by that line of XML to the sequences that match what that lexer is coded to match for that StyleID… but if you define a StyleID that the lexer doesn’t recognize, it won’t do anything with that definition, because there is no line of code in the lexer that does anything with that StyleID.

@madzilla You are completely right, it also seems to happen on my end whenever I am using Ringcentral BlueJeans app, no matter if I screenshare or not. Rebooting does the trick.

@ivan-k-0 said in Change a certain line in several documents with command/variables:

Is there any command to execute to change this line for each document?

It’s called regular expression search and replace.

Your method of describing your data is rather confusing. I don’t know whether those digits really prefix each line, or if you are just numbering the lines, or numbering the documents that contain that as line#6. Using the Template for Search/Replace questions mentioned below would have helped you communicate more clearly.

But I can come up with a solution that is agnostic of that prefix anyway.

If you want to replace any json ("edition": ###,) line with json ( "external_url":"https://example.com/?token_id=###",) then you can use
FIND = json \("edition": (\d+),\)
REPLACE = json \( "external_url":"https://example.com/?token_id=${1}",\)
SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression

If you have many such lines in the same file, but only want to replace the one on line 6, then change the FIND to \A(?-s:^.*$\R){5}\K^json \("edition": (\d+),\), which looks for the beginning of the file and 5 lines, then restarts the match.

If you allow other characters before the json prefix on line 6, you might have to tweak what comes after the \K to allow that. I will leave that as an exercise for the reader; give it a try using the docs below, and if you cannot figure it out, ask for hints.

@domwesker I know it’s a year later, but if I found this in a google search so can someone else. I just want to confirm the later replies here. This problem seem to stem from using Slack. In my case I had the go into task manager and stop ALL(sort by name since they tend to play hide and seek) Slack processes. Then simply close NP++ and re-open.

@henry-mosley See this.

@peterjones ,
THANK YOU for the reply.
Now, every time I upgrade, I am careful to empty the checkbox on the last dialog that would let me “open notepad++”. I just ask the install to finish without re-opening the app.
With this workaround is enough.

Thanks again.

Hello, @omar-salamah, @peterjones and All,

@omar-salamah :

Actually, here is your goal :

You have a first File1.xml file containing N pure blank lines

You have a second File2.xml file, below, containing M non-empty lines, with M <= N

<nominal>8</nominal> <min>4</min> <nominal>3</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>2</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>0</nominal> <min>0</min> <nominal>0</nominal> <min>0</min> <nominal>5</nominal> <min>4</min> <nominal>0</nominal> <min>0</min> <nominal>0</nominal> <min>0</min> <nominal>3</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>3</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>2</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>10</nominal> <min>8</min> <nominal>0</nominal> <min>0</min> <nominal>3</nominal> <min>1</min> <nominal>0</nominal>

And each non-empty line of File2.xml must replace the next pure empty line of File1.xml !

The @peterjones’s python script, of course, works correctly using the minimal layout of File2.xml, too

Best Regards,

guy038

@PeterJones thanks. I understand now the DECODE.

Notepad++ -> Menu -> Plugins -> Mime Tools -> Base64 Decode

Thanks for solution @guy038

Thank you for your insight. I added a PR for my other “wishes”.

@myles-carpeneto You might benefit from this.

@peterjones
Thank you.
Will try that.

@neculai-i-fantanaru

Try this:

<p class="pintem">(?:\W*\w+){3}\W*</p>

@mpheath said in how to run my python script using (pythonscript for npp) to multiple opened files:

from Npp import *

def forEachFile():
for file in notepad.getFiles():
notepad.activateBufferID(file[1])
notepad.getCurrentFilename()
editor.rereplace(‘unit_reward_per_km: ([0-9]+)’, times_2)
notepad.save()

def times_2(m):
return 'unit_reward_per_km: ’ + str(int(m.group(1)) * 2)

forEachFile()

Yea i copied alot to help myself out and it worked in one so i had to be close the printname was just something that was in a piece of code :P and forgot to remove it when i posted it here . Thank you !
