@Juha-Leppäranta ,

That’s a known issue (#9710); they are working on it.

@Alan-Kilborn
Thanks, works great!

@Mark-Gray ,

I’m new to using regular expressions

For your reference, the official Notepad++ documentation site has a large page devoted to searching, most of which is about regular expressions: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/searching/

And this Forum has a regular expression FAQ

Hello, @ramanand-jhingade, @alan-kilborn, @terry-r, @peterjones and All,

@ramanand-jhingade, sorry that my method did not work :-( I don’t understand !

It’s important to note that my method would work ONLY IF the beginning of the “canonical” line is exactly :

<link rel"canonical" href=" ^ | Beginning of line

If this line could be, for instance, any of these ones, below :

<link rel "canonical" href=" <link rel"canonical"href=" <link rel "canonical"href=" <link rel "canonical" href=" <link rel"canonical"href=" <link rel "canonical"href="

My method would not find the canonical line ! So, just tell me about it !

I even made tests with files containing a space chars in their names like This is a test.html and it did create the correct line :

<link rel"canonical" href="https://cure4incurables.in/This is a test.html" />

Of course, in this specific case, in order to get functional links, we must change any space char with the %20 syntax, thank to the S/R, below :

SEARCH (?-i)(?:href="|(?!\A)\G)(?:(?!").)*?\K\x20

REPLACE %20

Using the Regular expression search mode and ticking the Wrap around option would result, after replacement, in the functional line :

<link rel"canonical" href="https://cure4incurables.in/This%20is%20a%20test.html" />

Best Regards,

@Y-B

Can you do an experiment like the one I showed, including showing your debug info (found in ? menu, Debug Info), and paste the screenshot here? And then try changing some of the folder names to be similar to your environment where it’s not working.

Because, as I’ve shown, it works for me. And we cannot help you debug if you cannot show us how it doesn’t work for you.

Just figured out the problem. I had a directory with temp cached files in the search path…Duh.

Hello, @dumitru-s, @peterjones and All,

Sorry to reactivate this topic but, @dumitru-s, from the picture, below, could you just bookmark ALL the lines which should be matched, in each chapter, by the “future” regex ?

You are also invited to add some other chapters, with the corresponding bookmarks, if this way could improve our comprehension of what you want to match ;-))

Thanks for this extra-work !

@Alan-Kilborn ,

You are correct. I was posting from my phone and didn’t notice that autocorrect changed “font” to “don’t”. Sorry.

Some info here

If there is an indexing plugin it would be great to look into the content easily? example - https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/search-for-notepad-settings-with-a-plugin-that-indexes-them/

Hi @guy038!
Great!
Thank you so much!
It’s worked!
Love Notepad++ so much!

happy Easter, friends.

Another solution can be next one:

Select the link you want from canonical line: (<link rel="canonical" href=")(.*?)(" \/>) Select the second link from ru section: (alt="de" \/></a>&nbsp; <a href=")(.*?)(><img src="index_files\/flag_lang_ru) Combine these 2 regex in the same way (.*?) and put (\2) on second link, after (.*?) (this selects the second bracket, so the link in the canonical line)

So the regex become: (<link rel="canonical" href=")(.*?)(" \/>)(.*?)(alt="de" \/></a>&nbsp; <a href=")(.*?)(\2)(><img src="index_files\/flag_lang_ru)

eventualy, we can try (?!\2) instead of (\2) and make a FIND with .matches newsline

So the regex become: (<link rel="canonical" href=")(.*?)(" \/>)(.*?)(alt="de" \/></a>&nbsp; <a href=")(.*?)(?!\2)(><img src="index_files\/flag_lang_ru)

Don’t know why is not working. I believe my thinking was correct. :)

<link rel="canonical" href="https://mywebsite.com/en/truth.html" /> <meta name="copyright" content="me, https://mywebsite.com/"/> <link rel="sitemap" type="application/rss+xml" href="rss.xml" /> <link rel="image_src" type="image/jpeg" href="https://mywebsite.com/icon-facebook.jpg" style="display:none"/> <meta itemprop="image" content="https://mywebsite.com/icon-facebook.jpg"/> <meta property="og:image" content="https://mywebsite.com/icon-facebook.jpg"/> <meta property="og:type" content="article" /> <meta property="fb:app_id" content="2156440"/> <meta property="fb:admins" content="16454242"/> <meta property="og:url" content="https://mywebsite.com/en/other-car.html"/> <body> TEXT TEXT <div class="search"> <div align="left"> <a href="https://mywebsite.com/hope.html"><img src="index_files/flag_lang_ro.jpg" title="ro" alt="ro" width="28" height="19" /></a>&nbsp; <a href="https://mywebsite.com/fr/book.html"><img src="index_files/flag_lang_fr.jpg" title="fr" alt="fr" width="28" height="19" /></a>&nbsp; <a href="https://mywebsite.com/en/truth.html"><img src="index_files/flag_lang_en.jpg" title="en" alt="en" width="28" height="19" /></a>&nbsp; <a href="https://mywebsite.com/es/green.html"><img src="index_files/flag_lang_es.jpg" title="es" alt="es" width="28" height="19" /></a>&nbsp; <a href="https://mywebsite.com/pt/yellow.html"><img src="index_files/flag_lang_pt.jpg" title="pt" alt="pt" width="28" height="19" /></a>&nbsp; <a href="https://mywebsite.com/ar/truth.html"><img src="index_files/flag_lang_ae.jpg" width="28" height="19" title="ar" alt="ar" /></a>&nbsp; <a href="https://mywebsite.com/zh/truth.html"><img src="index_files/flag_lang_zh.jpg" width="28" height="19" title="zh" alt="zh" /></a>&nbsp; <a href="https://mywebsite.com/hi/truth.html"><img src="index_files/flag_lang_hi.jpg" width="28" height="19" title="hi" alt="hi" /></a>&nbsp; <a href="https://mywebsite.com/de/truth.html"><img src="index_files/flag_lang_de.jpg" width="28" height="19" title="de" alt="de" /></a>&nbsp; <a href="https://mywebsite.com/ru/truth.html"><img src="index_files/flag_lang_ru.jpg" width="28" height="19" title="ru" alt="ru" /></a> TEXT TEXT <div id="pixxell"> <a href="https://mywebsite.com/en/book-miracle.html">I find a miracle </div> TEXT TEXT

@Italo-Marinho said in Deleting First line and last two lines from multiple text files.:

I want to erase the first 50 lines from my files

Try searching for \A(?-s)(?:.*\R){50} and replacing with nothing.

@Javier-Rios ,

If you happen to come back: does CCleaner give a report of what registry and other items it cleans/deletes? That report might be able to tell us what entry is causing the problem in the first place.

@Terry-R said in Cut the first line of a file and paste it in another file.:

Indeed there is a faster method. record a macro that emulates the keystrokes you are using and save it. Then you can run the macro and it will repeat those steps without fail everytime.

You can’t believe how many clicks you’ve saved me. Thanks for your detailed answer.
That did the trick for me.

Hi, @alan-kilborn,

Again, as for the https://graphemica.com link, many thanks for pointing us to the https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/ site !

@Alan-Kilborn

No, I didn’t.

Glad to hear that, thanks! 👍🏻

Even so, it would require developers to do development work.

That’s always the basic requirement for any software change & NSIS would be way simpler than C++, at least for me… 😉

I think there is some amount of this going on.

Again, glad to hear that! 👏🏻

It sounds as if you have some development expertise.

Correct.

A good way to get a change you want is to develop it yourself and submit it for inclusion.
Just a thought.

Prerequisite for that is a confirmation it’s doable in NSIS & desired to be done there - because I neither have enough knowledge to write C++ code nor think can afford enough leisure time to learn the required amount.

Fun fact: I’ve done quite some stuff with NSIS & it’s “IDE” a couple of years ago - with actual “coding” done in N++ & using the “NSIS IDE” only for compiling… 😅

I know I am resurrecting an ancient topic, but since a 2021 topic referred back to this thread, I thought I would correct a misunderstanding from this thread, which hadn’t been addressed.

I checked Notepad++ v6.6.6 from June 2014 (two years before this thread), Notepad++ v7.0 (from Sep 2016, a few months after this thread), and the most-recent Notepad++ v7.9.5 from March 2021, and all three have this feature: specifically, there is a way to turn off that dialog.

Settings > Preferences > MISC > File Status Auto-Detection, and select Disable in the drop down (or uncheck Enable’s checkbox in v6.6.6). Once that’s disabled, Notepad++ will no longer poll the filesystem, looking for either file deletions or for updates to the file, and you won’t be prompted again. With the Auto-Detection disabled, I do not see the “This file has been modified by another program” dialog, and disabling that option also eliminated the “This file … doesn’t exist anymore”, which this topic was complaining about.

@Michael-Vincent

I haven’t checked the source code, but I assume that no styles are set, probably because npp doesn’t expect the lexer to be assigned in the default views.
