@Stinson-s-Stationers said in Adding line breaks to fixed width table:

It didn’t even occur to me that DBF would be a standard file type i could find a specific viewer for.

Yes, in fact it is one of the oldest file types, first created in in the early 1980s, see here. It is still possible that it doesn’t actually correspond to the acceptable format known, but certainly worth a try using one of the free viewers.

File extensions don’t restrict developers to an acceptable format but most will do so. I just feel that using Notepad++ for a task it is not designed for (editing what is essentially a binary file) is looking for trouble. 99% of the time it will work (as this binary file is mostly just the text records with a binary header), but just once you will find your transformation will produce bad data. If you are not doing extensive data checks every transformation, it could have dire consequences.

As you say this is company data, so you need to be certain the output is valid. Using the right tools for the job is central to achieving this.

@PeterJones
Thank you so very much for your time and effort!
Now I can make sure that npp works in the way I want it to.

Is it possible to add a function to split a large text file in two or more separate text files by specifying line numbers where it should break?

Можно реализовать на javascript с пом. jN плагина. Благо задание - простое.
You can implement JavaScript using the plug-in JN. Fortunately, this task is simple.

@Alan-Kilborn

My guess is that OP used the spaces as a sort of word delimiter, but who knows.

astrosofista is the nick I used on Twitter for an account that was indeed about space related topics. Since I used that account to register for this forum, I left the same nick.

And although I like astronomy very much, I am not an astrophysicist. My academic studies are in philosophy. I have been teaching an introductory course in propositional logic and philosophy of science for twenty years. And now I am close to retirement - I will have more time to play with regex, scripting and the like.

@litos81 It’s work. Thank you Dear :)

@Unique-ForEternity said in Searching a Notepad++ version:

What I ask is please give me a download link of the version of school that I attend.

No such download exists from the official distributor of Notepad++.

You will have to ask your teacher how they configured Notepad++ at school. My guess is that they are using the NppExec plugin to run the external java compiler, and then use Customize Toolbar plugin to add that NppExec script as a button on the toolbar.

For example, I have an NppExec script that I call “Java-CompileAndRun” with the script

NPP_SAVE cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_51\bin\javac" $(FILE_NAME) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_51\bin\java" -classpath "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" $(NAME_PART)

This saves the active file, then uses the Java JDK javac to compile, and the java command to run the compiled output

But that’s just a guess as to what they did. As I said, you will have to ask your teacher how they customized Notepad++ (or explore the various configurations and menu entries in the school’s Notepad++ to figure it out for yourself).

@Alan-Kilborn ,

It is really unfortunate that the term “style” is used,

Yes, the naming of that feature was confusing, and is now even more so. Aside from “Mark” vs “Mark”, as you’ve already pointed out: In the Search menu, it’s called Mark All (and now also the new Mark One). In the context menu, it used to be Style token / Remove Style and now Style all occurrences of token / Style one token / Remove style. So the Search menu and Context menu use different names. (But it was confirming this that finally explained to me why so many thought of it as “Style Token” – because that’s what the context menu called it.)

I have started the process of adding “Style Token” to the description of the Mark All settings in the online user manual – hopefully, it will be included in the next release

I guess this was ignored. :-(
It’s easy enough for the reader to “Translate to English”, but I still think the onus is on the poster to post in English.
I for one won’t be doing any translating on the reading end in order to answer non-English posts.

Hello Alan, es gibt bestimmt mehr Menschen die Chinesischs sprechen und schreiben.
Also sollte man alles ins Chinesiche Übersetzen, aber Achtung, dann könnt ihr gleich den Block schließen, weil ihr(du) tausende ausgrenzt.

Dam it, it was too simple. Thanks!
Works now.

@PeterJones
Thank you for the pointer to the historical Changes page, that was a nice place to go spelunking. For the present and near future I will resort to manifest constants to flag the current versions, so I can refer to the proper historical documentation pages (packages actually) and avoid the temptation to use a new Scintilla feature not yet supported in Npp.

Try rebooting your PC. It may help.
You can also see additional info about the same problem here:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/9760

Also, if you just need to open a list of files, try passing the list through the command line. Example:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "S:\file1.txt" "S:\file2.txt" etc

@IAmYouthoober ,

The original poster was only ever logged in once (according to the forum’s @Abhishek-Mehta user profile), so probably never saw my response, let alone your question a year later.

What problem are you really having? Could you describe what you did, the behavior you expected, and the behavior you actually got?

@Ekopalypse - thanks again
I think you are correct. I was confusing the current ‘position’ with the number of characters in the selection.
That, together with a funny bug in my code, was making me think there was a problem.

Thanks,
David

@Luca-RussoFiorillo ,

I’m glad you figured it out.

For other people who read this discussion looking for the same answer: in the Keywords and Folding In xxx settings, if you put the multi-word term in quotes (like "end if"), it will treat it as one term.

The UDL dialog actually links to the ivan-radic UDL 2.1 documentation, which include "else if" in the Folding In Code > Example 3

@Alan-Kilborn

Yes, I personally would argue as I have, but who knows, maybe some developer will find this intriguing.

@haya-waks

without more information about which Npp version you used and how you tried to install the plugin, it’s hard to tell what your problem might be.

@Daniel-Rafflenbeul-0

It is possible with scripting. For example, one can achieve it by using the PythonScript plugin.

This topic has come up before. Here are some references, some of which will have example scripts:

@Jon-Fleming ,

Sorry, if the About dialog says 2010, I assume that was the last-changed date.

CHANGELOG Version 2.1, 17.11.2018. - Repackaged the plugin for comatibility with Notepad++ v7.6 (new plugin loader). - Renamed WedEdit.dll to WebEdit-ansi.dll. - Renamed WedEditU.dll to WebEdit.dll. Version 2.1, 31.03.2010.

Looks like the 2018 change was just to the packaging/zipfile and DLL name, with no change to the compiled DLL since the same revision number in 2010. In other words, it’s the same plugin that it was in 2010.

Glad you found/fixed the edited ini file.
