nm, figured it out I think.

I was using a new txt doc to copy the content to be searched for, but the content is in yml files, and seems to be formatted differently…or something. After searching for content copied from yml file, it was able to find it…

@Gergely-Apró ,

The answers you have received are good.

If you would like more documentation on this, the official Notepad++ docs talk about the substitution expressions here.

Notepad++ uses what’s known as the “Boost engine” (currently v1.70) for handling the regular expressions, and that has its substitution documentation here

@Justin-Gaughan said in Auto indent:

and it’s not auto indenting

It would maybe help if you said something about your expectation for auto-indenting, if @PeterJones 's explanation does not satisfy.

Thank you for reply.

@Luiza-Henriques

Perhaps it would help if you would fully show the text behind your Preferences window? As from what I can see of it, EVERYTHING is underlined and that is not right.

Links should be enabled by default, without you having to change any settings.

@VAVoices

Does this also happen if you are using npp without plugins installed? Can be tested by using the -noPlugin command line switch.

99% solved, final resume:

As usual, there where different issues, complementing each other - from the software and from me …

the current user has no admin-rights, so there is the usual problem of admin versus user there was the 32bit of NP++ installed; the update to 64bit did not reset all registry-settings of 32bit I checked the HKLM-settings and thought that this will overwrite the user-settings: my fault, existing user settings stayed alive there where user settings for “.re” which linked to “re_auto_file” which linked to inactive x86-start-commands

Now I cleaned up all x86-values to current links, and this enabled the command “Open with … - select Standard application …” again. Now a double-click on .VVA and .RE opens it with NP++

The last “1% cosmetic unsolved” for both file types is that the icon in Explorer is smaller than the standard icon and the file-description is not “Notepad++ Document”.

Thanks to all posters for advice!

@gstavi said in search and highlight 2 or more words with different colors:

In what way does this improve over right click -> Style token?

It really doesn’t. :-)
Except that you don’t have to find an occurrence (by hand or search) of your “token” first, in order to rclick it.
The script is really just a demo that someone could build something related upon.
I can’t see someone typing all those “tokens” very often…

It really makes way more sense to use a UDL for such a purpose (OP’s original “log analysis”). And that was my first suggestion to OP.

But everyone has their own workflow.
And their own likes, dislikes, and "I want"s.

@guy038
Thank you for your hard work. :)

@PeterJones,
Thank you! I was sure there had to be a way to do this. I was hoping to avoid using something outside UDL, but I’m glad to know there is a way to deal with this. Gonna take look at it.

@Brian-Mazakas said in Add or Modify the Toolbar:

Hope this helps somebody

I don’t think it is going to, as it seems to be mostly complaints rather than helpful info. :-(

@Patrik-Spacek said in Show a list of same words before replacement:

a nice advanced addition to notepad++

Sounds like a job for a plugin.
But just for that simple function, a little script serves well.
But if a potential plugin added a bunch of analysis features, of which a histogram is just one…well, that would be valuable.

My friend already coded all I need (in 20mins) and works perfectly, its compiled separately, but works great. (not in python)

Sounds like overkill, but when one has to sponge off of a friend’s good will, you get what you get.

@PeterJones Sorry, it was inadvertently saved to a JSON file.

I am not going to bother replying directly to the original poster anymore, because he obviously doesn’t like my help.

However, for future readers, there was a factual error above: unlike what was said, DSpellCheck can and will replace “barry” with “Barry” or “allen” with “Allen”:

8651f959-3666-44ff-8125-80b6897e54e9-image.png

You have the choice of replacing it one time by selecting the top Allen in the replacement. Or you can go down to Replace All "allen" with > and select Allen from that menu, where every occurrence of the word will be replaced.

Hopefully this will counteract any misconceptions caused by reading certain posts in this thread.

@PeterJones I totally read that but didn’t realize the machine I’m using was out of date!

@Javier-Rivas I have been able to achieve my objext using notepad++ although it is quite inelegant.

I have a folder with 1000 text files, which I duplicated. I then renamed them with a suffix 000.txt -> 999.txt

Each file has a unique first line, with a name and number, and all I did was do a search and replace to add in an extra zero and change the _001 to _0001

It will give me a unique first line, but will be a little more messy when combine with the other folder – but will work for what I am after.

Thanks for your help!! Most appreciates.

PS I know I’ve done it before, and it’s driving me nuts that I don’t remember how or where I found it…

@tommick1

Although I also recommend switching to utf8 encoding, there is a plugin called AutoCodepage that I think may be helpful in your case.

@Chaithra-Gururaj

How exactly did you start the process.
From what you posted, it looks like there is no space between python and new1.py.

Полагаю, вы имеете в виду информацию о сеансе.
В зависимости от того, как была выполнена предыдущая установка, вы все равно сможете найти ее под %APPDATA%\notepad++\backup.

I assume you mean the session information.
Depending on how your previous installation was, you may still be able to find it under %APPDATA%\notepad++\backup.
