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,

@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 !

@peterjones ,

Learning something every day. :)

@niels_bigger
I am happy now after adding the languages via MS Office :-)

@alij2022 said in Add a new text:

is there a way to indent the line as well like making it appear on the same line as the first one, with indentation?

Sure, you can add in some spaces or tabs after the \r\n; for a tab character you can use \t.

This was turned into a real issue HERE.

I posted a PythonScript solution there.

@åke-göransson

Yes, see the user manual HERE. You want to use the filepath part.

@bernard

This seems like the same issue reported with Notepad++ v7.9.2 (64-bit):

#9433 Autocomplete makes notepad++ unable to keep up with typing.

an empty (context menu?) box flash for a second

I have submitted a Pull Request to fix:

#11460 Fix autocomplete may show empty list.

@peterjones Thanks,
Yes, that helped, but in any case, I have 2 UDL-s loaded in the tool, and every time I change the npp theme, I need to run the keyboard shortcut in order to change the UDL. I thought the script will automatically change the UDL based on the Dark/Light mode of NPP. But in any case, your suggestions were very helpful. Thanks. I figured the PythonScript plugin out.

Great, this helps a lot. Thanks :-)

@neculai-i-fantanaru said in Recording: How can I change the regex operations in MACRO?:

The location of shortcuts.xml is

That isn’t an absolute. Maybe for you it is, but it depends upon your setup. If you look at your Debug Info… (on the ? main menu), example:

Local Conf mode : OFF

then yes it is in %APPDATA%\Notepad++.

but if it says:

Local Conf mode : ON

then it is in the same folder as notepad++.exe.

Also, there is more info on “appdata” HERE … I should have pointed that out before.

@lycan-thrope said in FunctionList issues:

removing the ^ allowed the two ‘Object’ lines to be found

@Pat-Sinclair , with @Lycan-Thrope’s suggestion, it might match a line that says
SomethingElse_OBJECT_Here that you don’t want it to match.

if I were changing your expression to work with OBJECT_IndentedSomething, I would actually change it to mainExpr="^\h*OBJECT.*", which will still anchor to the beginning of line, but allows whitespace (spaces and tabs) between the beginning of the line and the OBJECT. This prevents anything but whitespace to be between the beginning of the line and the OBJECT,which I think is what you want.

@juan-flavio-orozco said in Deleting all even-numbered lines an something more?:

It would not complicate me so much, I would place myself at the beginning of the first line with the time, I would start recording a “macro”. Already recording the macro; holding the “shift” key you would press the “end” key and then (without releasing “shift”) once the “right” (→) key, release “shift” and press “Delete”.

So just a note on this technique:

It doesn’t “protect” your data. If you accidentally start the macro on the wrong line, you will operate (delete) the wrong data.

With the replacement approach using regular expressions, only data that matches the proper pattern will be removed.

@guy038 said in File name variable to replace text.:

So, I don’t understand why you and @terry-r used, for instance, the %1 parameter, like in here.

Well, I guess I’ve always done it that way and it’s always worked. See here:

826e4449-7594-4dd8-bdb5-db98cc7395c0-image.png

However, upon reflection (well some googling) I see Microsoft’s official documentation supports your statement. See here

So I stand corrected, yet why does the %1 thru %9 work then if Microsoft say those variables aren’t to be used in this context but within the batch file as batch parameters.

@sergey-shelukhin ,

For other readers, I believe that “RD” means “remote desktop”.

(Not everyone uses remote desktop, and you cannot expect all Notepad++ users (which is what this community is made of) to understand such abbreviations – so your question was complicated to understand. And even though I use remote desktop nearly every day, I cannot say that I’ve ever referred to it as RD.)

Also, in that daily remote desktop usage, I haven’t really noticed significant slowdown in Notepad++ scrolling. But I also don’t do files that are hundreds of MB large, so maybe I’m just editing files that are too small to affect the remote desktop connection. (My only complaint remotely is that the Alt key is highjacked when I’m on some systems, so I cannot do column edit remotely.)

if Notepad++ just does an unnecessarily large number of updates

Whether the refresh/screen-updates are “unnecessary” or not is probably a matter of opinion, and how smooth various users want scrolling to appear.

There are a number of posts about this,

It would have helped if you’d linked us to them, because I don’t remember those discussions off the top of my head. (My memory isn’t as good as … what was I talking about? 😉 )

but no real resolution

If it’s just been talk in the Forum (a community of users), then nothing will ever be done about it. The Forum is not the issue tracker for the project, as is well-defined in our feature request / bug report FAQ. If no one has ever made an official issue, nothing will ever be done about it.
