Based on my current workflow, I will create a “phrase file” to store boiler plate or frequently needed text for a project. I drag the tab to the far left and leave that file loaded as I merrily edit other files. The far left tab is easy to jump to using the Window menu selection. Then it’s just a case of jump to tab, copy text, jump back to context (current) tab and execute the search and paste the copied test into the search menu. Admittedly, returning to the context (current) tab is not always easy if I have many files open. By using session files (or just relying on the built in session manager), the phrase file becomes part of the project. This approach may be a bit crude, but I can easily modify it as the tasks change.

There are plugins that also handle things like this (quips, boiler plate, etc.), I just haven’t found one I liked enough to really learn how to use it and change my eclectic workflows appropriately.

@ekopalypse hm… as I see, PHP and JS have common code to folding blocks, but array folding doesn’t work in PHP files.

Actually, this seems to do it:

editor.setFirstVisibleLine(editor.visibleFromDocLine(editor.lineFromPosition(editor.getCurrentPos())))

Hello, recently I have created “Java Plugin for Notepad++” that allows you to compile and run java in Notepad++.
You can find more information here https://github.com/dominikcebula/npp-java-plugin

@robert-carnegie said in Treat ANSI text file as UTF-8 while use utf-8-bom as default saving format:

I may be misspeaking

Yep.

but I think you should be saying “ASCII” not “ANSI”

Nope.

@artie-finkelstein

I notice that if Append extension is ticked when the dialog box is invoked, unticking it will not remove the .txt extension from new 1.txt in the File name box. Thus, it must be removed manually – not a big deal IMO, because the new1 part is going to need to be altered anyway – before hitting Save. But some users may complain that this is a big annoyance.

The Append extension checkbox has a “memory” so the next save of this type will be invoked with the checkbox unticked and only new 2 (for example) will appear in the File name box.

@rab_road said in How can I search a specific numbers in between two numbers?:

…between 1000 and 1500

inclusion of the endpoints is implied? :-)

(?<!\d)(?:(?:1[0-4]\d\d)|(?:1500))(?!\d)

Done it!
It’s going with: \ (.*

Thanks! :)

Thanks for the find @terry-r, I’ll find that PythonScript plugin and play with it.

I assume I should be able to change the regex pattern to suit my needs in the line editor.research('\w+', match_found) to something like editor.research('^.*$', match_found) to perform a histogram by line.

Much appreciated.

@youngsun-jang ,

Also it also sounds like you’re interested in the Auto Completion capability, but again, if not a standard langauge, you’ll have to develop it yourself. Find more informatiton, here: Auto Completion Info:

Good luck, and welcome to Notepad++.

@daniel-norin, @guy038, all

Just for the sake of variety, here is my take. It seems to work fine on input data, hope it can deal with other inputs.

Note that it does not remove empty paragraphs, such as the first and sixth. Anyway, it is easy to delete them in a second step.

Instructions are similar to the ones provided by @guy038. Open the Replace dialog (Ctrl + H) and type:

Search: (?s)<(?!/?p>|/?h3>?).*?>| id=.*?(?=>) Replace: [leave empty]

Put the caret at the very beginning of the document, select the Regular Expression mode and click on Replace or Replace All.

@jan-kobiela said in Hi Users i need to search some word betwen words:

I need to search some phrases between words or numbers for example:

Your examples don’t really fit your explanation, however I will attempt to provide some information and also ask further questions.

When you say you want to search for “phrases” this generally means strings of characters delimited by a space, these can also be called sentences of portions of them. Yet your example has only numbers which doesn’t really help.

As it would seem that you want every second word/string of characters it implies the space character MUST be the delimiter. If so then the following would suffice. As this initial solution is destructive you would need to work on a copy of your file, not the original.

Use the “Replace” function and as this is a regular expression you will need to have the search mode set to “regular expression”.
Find What:[^\x20\r\n]+\x20([^\x20+\r\n]+)
Replace With:\1
Then click on the “Replace All” button. Every second word will remain.

As I said, this is likely only an initial answer. If you were to read the `Please Read This Before Posting" at the top of this group you will then know how to properly provide examples, and you should provide better examples as currently your example and question are too vague to be sure that my answer will actually help.

@standog same problem, it’s the same dll version in notepad ++

Referring to https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/command-prompt/

another approach is to start Notepad++ with the “command line” parameter of: -nosession

For instance, a Windows 10 desktop icon (shortcut) for Notepad++ can be copied and/or can have its “target of shortcut” changed to:

“C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe” -nosession

This is for the 64-bit version.

This customized icon starts Notepad++ without opening the auto saved session. Only an empty “new 1” tab appears.

It appears also that this Notepad++ instance does not create a saved session for the default Notepad++ configuration to reload later, and does not remove the saved session that the default configuration remembers. (I am only trying it with one file to be remembered open when I close Notepad++.)

Another “command line” or shortcut option to consider is “-multiInst”. This opens a window for Notepad++ even when Notepad++ is running already. Trying it now, the second window will contain the saved session tabs evidently, unless -nosession -multiInst are used together.

Up to now, I’ve just been closing my tabs (Ctrl+w) before closing Notepad++ and especially if I’ve had a very large text data file open: these are other good options.

@alan-kilborn

Exactly, great! Thank you!

Looking through your previous postings, that’s about the end of the “freebies” you’re getting. Time to start doing some learning, so that you can solve your own problems! See HERE for a good starting point!

DR Smockovich is correct.

The problem only occurred when I changed the setting in:

Notepadd++ > Settings > MISC > Session file extension, and Workspace file extension

They were blank. I changed them to “.php” thinking it would then save files in .php extension rather than me having to type out the extension every time I saved a file.

That is not so.

I removed and cleared those two settings to make them blank again and viola, the probelm of the original poster went away (session corrupted etc).

If you’re attempting to get notepad to save in a particular file extension every time you save a file by default, then click on:

Save As… > Append Extension (little tick box by the “save” button).

Have a good day :)

@astrosofista

Off-topic. Downvoting.
Responding to off-topic posts only encourages more people to use this forum as a free for all to ask any question they like, adding to the clutter for those of us interested in only Notepad++ topics here.
Please don’t claim it is “on topic” because it generates data that can be pasted into a Notepad++ tab.
Surely if you are good at AutoHotKey you can go over to their forum and write as many scripts for people as you like.

@nippurdelagash ,

Please write in English to this forum. This is the second time you have been asked.

Notepad++ keeps track of the most recent files edited in Notepad++, either in the File menu or in the File > Recent Files… submenu, depending on the Settings > Preferences > Recent Files History settings (as documented in the user manual).

If you don’t know where you keep your own files, then you can use a Windows OS-based search for filename across your whole filesystem, or you can use Notepad++'s built-in Search > Find in Files dialog to look for particular text in files that have a particular extension. And, in the future, I would recommend organizing your filesystem in a manner that allows you to know where your own files are – because where on the disk that you store your files is, in the end, up to you.
