    @fairbanksbiz said in Have I lost all my Notepad++ unsaved documents?:

    it appears so. well, at least I haven’t lost 457 documents

    Lucky you!

    I highly recommend you take the advice in this thread, and take an active role in making sure your important data / files (and which files aren’t important, really?) are saved to known locations, and backed up, with revision control if necessary. There are settings and plugins which will help with that, as long as you understand their configuration and limitations.

    I myself hope so.

    The only way that hope will turn to reality is by one or more conscious decisions on your part. And, obviously, you are the only one who can make that decision, and take appropriate actions on that decision, enough that personal data integrity becomes part of your natural behavior.

    @danny-spence You should try to describe in a more precise and complete way all the types of strings you wanted altered. If you are happy doing a separate F&R operation for every date of interest, that’s what Peter’s solution provides. If you wish to alter every Feb date, you need something like Feb/\d+. If you wish to alter a restricted range of dates in Feb like say 8th to 23th, you need something a bit more complex. If you wish to alter every date in the format you’ve shown, you need something like (Jan|Feb|..etc..|Dec)/\d+. Try to eliminate the need for your readers to do guesswork.

    Thank you everyone ^^

    The .xml file name has to match the UDL name, but inside it the language field is purely descriptive (see https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/auto-completion/#auto-completion-file-format)

    Next time I’ll try to be more verbose and explicit on my posts to be precise when it comes to reproduction steps

    Really appreciate all you’ve done over the past days!

    I close the txt file and reopen it, now I cannot reproduce the issue.

    But before that, if I just close notepad++ and reopen notepad++(not close txt file and reopen txt file), I got the issue every time.

    In the bottom, it shows that it is a user defined language file, I don’t know why.

    Notepad++ v8.2.1 (32-bit)
    Build time : Jan 19 2022 - 18:38:49

    You can hope, but it has a better chance if you make a real feature request out of it; see HERE for how to do that.
    Probably it doesn’t stand much of a chance, though, IMO.

    @peterjones said in Changing the closing tag on a XML file, so it matches the opening tag, with notepad++ -:

    FIND = (?s)wp:postmeta-ingredients.*?\K</wp:postmeta>
    REPLACE = </wp:postmeta-ingredients>
    SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression
    REPLACE ALL (because of \K, hitting REPLACE multiple times will not work)

    Ehh, wow, fast and correct answer, worked like a charm.
    Super impress of the quality here.

    Thank you so much Peter :)

    @john-molyneux ,

    Gnu Octave is a completely different program than Notepad++, and has nothing to do with the Notepad++ project. It may have its own plugins directory, but that has nothing to do with Notepad++. If Octave bundles a Notepad++ copy with their distribution (which they are legally allowed to do, based on the LICENSE), then maybe there really is a Notepad++\Plugins directory there. But that would mildly surprise me (and some quick poking at Octave’s site doesn’t show me any obvious reference from Octave to Notepad++).

    Those .tmp files and rar folders likely have nothing to do with Notepad++.

    I think you’ve done a lot of mucking around, and you are in a strange situation. We are not generic tech support / Windows support, and if you are having problems at bootup, and if you don’t have Notepad++ left on your machine, then the problem is a Windows problem, not a Notepad++ problem. I don’t know how you got to where you are, but I don’t think we can help you out of the mess you’re in now.

    Sorry to not have better news for you. Good luck.

    @peterjones said in Multi to single selection after tab switch:

    this points to it being an implementation-detail/feature/bug of Scintilla 4.46, not of Notepad++ itself.

    Sounds logical to me.

    @alan-kilborn said in Multi to single selection after tab switch:

    If that behavior really bothers you (I don’t get the feeling it does – all that much)

    Nah — not so far, anyway. This was probably the first time I’d ever switched tabs immediately after creating a multi-selection.

    I’m thinking this may warrant mentioning as a limitation in the docs, though.

    Every time I try to type in a closing angle bracket “>” (meaning I have to press SHIFT + .) the program shuts down, making it impossible to use this program for XML,

    This is a known issue. It will be fixed in the next release. You can either downgrade now or replace current notepad++.exe with the artifact from the linked commit.
