@PeterJones Thanks a lot for the clarification. I think the proposed solution is a bit too complex for me (and the operators didn’t cause me issues), and you’ve sadly confirmed that most bugs I’m experiencing are unfixable, so I might leave it the language as it is.
It is a bit of a pity that it is like this, but it’s not too bad and at least now I know it’s not my fault, so thanks again

@Alan-Kilborn said in Splitting to multiple files:

Did you have something in mind that was more sophisticated than that (but still a poor approach compared to non-N++ solutions)?

Nope, just the same as you. it would require effort in setting up the PythonScript (or other program lang.), or regex to do the job. then if OP wasn’t happy with result, having to change the process to accommodate. The non-N++ solutions have all those options baked in, so far easier.

Also the number of lines the OP stated makes me wary that a buffer overload may occur as well.

For future readers, don’t have the same misunderstanding as was expressed above: we help Notepad++ users to use Notepad++. We are quite happy to do so. I personally tackle many Notepad++-related problems in this forum nearly every day. Just look at the recent posting history for factual proof of this.

What we cannot be is the entirety of stack exchange: we do not have experts on every possible programming language and every possible markup language and every possible cookie recipe.

Just because you use a particular text editor to type your source code doesn’t mean that the forum for that text editor should be expected to answer any programming questions you have.

If you have a C-programming question, go to a forum that specializes in C. If you have an HTML+CSS+JavaScript question, go to a forum about web authoring. If you have a question about cookie recipes, go to a cooking or baking forum. If you have questions about how to sort the text in your text file that you’re editing with Notepad++, this is the right place for you.

But going back to @Munawar-Ali’s question: it was said, “still it just shows the html on browser” – that might be interpreted as “it is showing the raw HTML markup rather than the rendered webpage”. If that’s the case, then you can use Notepad++ to save the file as HTML and give it a .html extension. And when you are using Notepad++ to type your HTML and CSS files, you can have your saved HTML file in the active tab in Notepad++ and run View > View Current File in… to pick your favorite browser, and Notepad++ will issue the command for that browser to open the active file in the browser; if it’s properly saved as HTML, and the browser will render that HTML file as a local webpage; if the HTML is written correctly (with all the files in the right place relative to each other), then it will render correctly in the chosen browser.

@Angela-Madera

I’m sure someone can, but not here.
This area is for discussion about Notepad++ the text editor, not “images on a website”.

Please find an appropriate forum for your question – thanks.

@Michael-Vincent Thanks for that fast reply! That did the trick!

[translated to English] Menu Entry: (german) Word Wrap (or maybe Line Break)

What about the Word Wrap menu entry in German?

@Carlos-Figueroa-Arteaga ,

Again, I will not here that Notepad++ is a Windows application, and the developers only support Windows environments; if you can make it work in Wine (which is what PlayOnLinux uses under the hood), great for you! But that’s not a supported use case.

2 Notepad updates prior to v8.1.4 (32-bit) on Ubuntu 18 with PlayOnLinux disappeared the option to go Up to upper folders. This is very uncomfortable. Please put it back. Thanks.

The Notepad++ Open File dialog does allow going up directories, in the same way it always has. If Wine/PlayOnLinux do not support the standard windows API calls that Notepad++ uses to get the OpenFIle dialog working, then the problem is with Wine/PlayOnLinux, not with Notepad++.

Sorry.

@Carlos-Figueroa-Arteaga ,

Sorry, based on the google translation of your problem, I am not sure what is wrong with the Search window for you. For me, on Windows 10, the search engine works just fine on Notepad++ v8.1.4.

It should be noted that Notepad++ is a Windows application, and the developers only support Windows environments; if you can make it work in Wine (which is what PlayOnLinux uses under the hood), great for you! But that’s not a supported use case.

@Hi Terry

Thanks a lot for your clear and precise explanation. It works fine.

Best regards and again many thanks for your help

@chin-pat said in Add single quote and comma:

How can I add single quote and comma for each of the sequence no and also how can I get this on a column like this

To get this:
‘12345’, ‘56789’, ‘23456’, ‘56789’, ‘56789’
use the following regular expression in the Replace function (search mode is regular expression). Note the single quote isn’t what you show in the post, verify I have the correct one as the posting engine does change quotes when not inside the black boxes (se the </> icon to encapsulate examples)
Find What:\d+(?=(\x20)|$)
Replace With:'$0'(?1,)

To get this
12345
56789
23456
56789
56789
use the following regular expression
Find What:\x20
Replace With:\r\n

@Cyndi-Roether

The key is to make your file a Python file and then things (comments included) will “stand out”, example:

e0a23532-387e-46ae-b5fa-64cd45bf26b3-image.png

See where it says “Python file” on the status bar?

You can make this appear by saving your file with a name that ends in .py, or by choosing “Python” on the Language menu.

Also, a Python comment involves no “bracketing”. A # appearing on a line will cause anything following that character (and still on that same line) to be a comment.

@william-busigo ,

This discussion was relying on the fact that everyone involved had the NppExec plugin installed. Everything that has been said in this discussion assumed that as a given.

I think before asking any more questions, you need to read and understand our FAQ on “how do I use Notepad++ to compile my source code”.

@Michael-Vincent

See https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/21853/notepad-8-1-5-rc2/3

Using the RC thread first before opening a Notepad++ issue. I narrowed down to the particular commit which does change the pluginsAdmin.cpp file.

Cheers.

@Joseph-Gaitan ,

FIND = Name
REPLACE = Name:1234

I’m sure that’s not what you actually wanted, but it’s the best guess possible given the limited information in your post. To get a better answer, you are going to have to supply example data, using the tools in the toolbar and the preview window to make sure you’re accurately communicating your data to us. Really, I suggest reading and understanding the generic help info below before responding.

----

Do you want regex search/replace help? Then please be patient and polite, show some effort, and be willing to learn; answer questions and requests for clarification that are made of you. All example text should be marked as literal text using the </> toolbar button or manual Markdown syntax. To make regex in red (and so they keep their special characters like *), use backticks, like `^.*?blah.*?\z`. Screenshots can be pasted from the clipboard to your post using Ctrl+V to show graphical items, but any text should be included as literal text in your post so we can easily copy/paste your data. Show the data you have and the text you want to get from that data; include examples of things that should match and be transformed, and things that don’t match and should be left alone; show edge cases and make sure you examples are as varied as your real data. Show the regex you already tried, and why you thought it should work; tell us what’s wrong with what you do get. Read the official NPP Searching / Regex docs and the forum’s Regular Expression FAQ. If you follow these guidelines, you’re much more likely to get helpful replies that solve your problem in the shortest number of tries.

@Davie-Green ,

Windows has lots of different ways of setting file associations, and sometimes to have to work those in concert to make it all work together. Notepad++'s Settings > Preferences > File Associations uses the old registry entries that Windows 10 technically still accepts… but if any of Windows 10’s other methods of defining associations are also set, those will take precedence. It’s really a Windows problem, because Microsoft has defined too many conflicting ways of setting file associations. But it’s been talked about a lot in this forum, so you can search the forum for posts about “registry” and “regedit” and “association” for more ideas of things to try.

When you install Notepad++, it usually creates a registry key that is always available in the Right Click menu for any file type, which is “Edit with Notepad++” or similar, so even if you cannot get double-click to work right, you might be able to access it that way. If not, some of my posts that will show up in the forum search will show my registry entry that I add for definding “Edit with Notepad++” as an option on all file types.

This seemed like it should be top of list, but here goes

I need to replace comma “,” with a pipe “|”, but only if a comma immediately follow a 2 digit decimal.

So
,49.30,49.30,.00,.00,.00,
needs to be
|49.30|49.30|.00|.00|.00|

notepad++ (Regular expression radio button clicked)
in the “Find what:” box -> (?:[.\d\d]{0},)
in the “Replace with:” box -> |

add “\d” for more decimals.

Many thanks

@Yahnah-Factor ,

See the FAQ

@guy038, All:

I usually try to understand OP’s messages as literally as possible, unless it is very obvious that there is some mistake, such as the single quotation mark. In this case I read words and thought they were single words, unconnected to each other, but not necessarily on separate lines. Hence the regular expression I posted.

Nor did it cross my mind that there could be hyphenated compound words, since the posted sample did not include them.

However, the scenario that you propose is entirely possible and in fact your two regular expressions are simpler than mine. If I were OP, I would choose one of them.

Have a nice weekend

@Alan-Kilborn said in Macro problem (replace text):

@Юрий-Марков said in Macro problem (replace text):

apparently some new setting has appeared

Software is continually being enhanced

and this request does not appear if you use the replacement window, not a macro.

Incorrect, it appears either way, any time you use Replace All in All Opened Documents (unless you change the Preference setting that was shown for it)

It’s just that I haven’t updated Notepad ++ for a very long time))) Purely by chance I saw that a dark theme appeared, I have been dreaming about it for 3 years, everything has a dark theme for a long time, even in Total Commander it appeared.
