Changing the offsets for the Go To dialog box so that they start at 1…

Actually, “offset” (being zero-based) makes perfect sense.
If it were strictly “position” maybe it would make less sense, as that seems to more imply one-based.
Although, in Scintilla-speak, SCI_GETCURRENTPOS returns a 0 if the caret is at beginning-of-file.

I think I saw that a change is coming to Notepad++ where “position” is going to be displayed on the status bar. I can’t remember if it is zero-based or one-based.

That change would break scripts that invoke the Go To box and use offset mode.

I don’t think there are any such scripts as the Go To box isn’t scriptable?

-p on the command line likely should remain zero based.

It seems like Notepad++ should get its act together and be internally consistent, be either 0-based or 1-based when dealing with “position”, no matter what existing functionality it might break. :-)

I just noticed in a UTF-8 document, if I put my caret just before a Unicode character that encodes into 4 bytes, I get an editor.getCurrentPos() return of N and if I move it just after that character and repeat that Pythonscript command, I get N+4. This seems wrong to me; I should get N+1… I guess it is one more thing that needs “evaluation” in Notepad++.

Good one @ Alan-Kilborn! I will search on the net for a solution to better deal with Samba “timestamp” resolution.

@David-Kuhne

You mean like:

Settings => Preferences…

Hi @James-Corpening

If you go to Plugins menu in your notepad++ toolbar, do you see DSpellCheck listed?
If it is not listed, then go to Plugins > Plugins Admin... Search for DSpellCheck and install it. Once it is installed you may need to go to Plugins > DSpellCheck > Settings... and install a (Hunspell) dictionary.

If the plugin was listed, confirm that the option ‘Spell Check Document Automatically’ is enabled.

If nothing helps. Could you please paste here your Notepad++ debug info? You can find that information in the toolbar menu: ? > Debug info...

OK, that looks great, I will try that, thank you very much!

This is an unsolved problem… =[ Frankly, I don’t know what can be done to resolve this situation. I have already searched in many forums what can be done, but this set with a network share (samba, SMB) and Notepad ++ is problematic. As reported, the problem with constant file reloading makes it impossible to use Notepad ++ reliably and, especially, the use of bookmarks. Note that other code editor do not have the same problem even using the same network share. I would love to know what can be done. I’ve tried everything regarding the configuration of Notepad ++ and Samba, but I haven’t been successful so far.

NOTE: Realize that I cannot do without the detection of changes (with warning) in files, as I work with several open source editors at the same time and this is a very big risk for me.

Thanks friends! =D

@Andrew-Gill said in Remove specific lines fron nfo's:

remove any lines that start with <studio>

I’ll just point out that your original problem statement said the above.
The solution I provided considered that.
But your real data didn’t have that condition.
So that’s why my solution didn’t work initially.

@Dennis-Bareis

that is the way to reload saved sessions. Is ThisSession really the file?
I would have expected ThisSession.xml. If it is the file, can you check if it contains useful data?
If it does not work, can you post your debug info, available from the last menu, the ? menu and the content of ThisSession?

@guy038 Dear Sir,
Really Great! .Thanks a Lot its works 100%. You saved Me lot of time. Notepad plus plus is great. You’re the one who truly understand my requirements Please accept My Love and Thanks. I am forever grateful for your support!

Hello, @steven123, @ekopalypse and All,

@steven123, I’m pleased to tell you that your request can be solved, easily, by using a POSIX collating sequence into a character class / bracket expression, which defines a list of equivalent characters to the character mentioned in the collating sequence

The regex syntax of a POSIX collating sequence is [=<Char>=]. Note also that this POSIX collating sequence must be inserted, itself, inside a normal character class [....] or a negative character class [^....] in order to match all the equivalent characters to character Char !

Refer, for additional information, to :

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html#boost_regex.syntax.perl_syntax.equivalence_classes

https://www.regular-expressions.info/posixbrackets.html#eq

For instance, the regex (?-i)[A-E[=0=]5-9] would match a uppercase letter from A to E, a digit from 5 to 9, the digit 0 or any of the 4 equivalent characters to digit 0 of the list below :

0030 Nd 0 Basic Latin DIGIT ZERO 2070 No ⁰ Superscripts and Subscripts SUPERSCRIPT ZERO 2080 No ₀ Superscripts and Subscripts SUBSCRIPT ZERO 24EA No ⓪ Enclosed Alphanumerics CIRCLED DIGIT ZERO FF10 Nd ０ Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms FULLWIDTH DIGIT ZERO

So, in order to match, either, the string Ho Chi Minh and the string Hồ Chí Minh, simply use the regex :

H[[=o=]] Ch[[=i=]] Minh, with the collating sequences [=o=] and [=i=] embedded in a character class

Some other examples :

The regex \t[[=a=]]\t, against the list below, would match all the equivalent characters of the a letter, whatever, the case, the accentuation, the size and other specifications of these equivalent chars. That is to say 69 characters ! 0041 A ; Upper_Letter # Lu LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A 0061 a ; Lower_Letter # Ll LATIN SMALL LETTER A 00AA ª ; Other_Letter # Lo FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR 00C0 À ; Upper_Letter # Lu LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVE 00C1 Á ;

@Alan-Kilborn thanks a lot - that works perfectly.
So here the final solution to this thread summarized from above:

p = editor.getCurrentPos() editor.paste() editor.setEmptySelection(p) editor.chooseCaretX()

Awesome idea, I didn’t think of that!
Thank you so much for the solution and for the step-by-step guide as well. Much obliged.

@ajpanton

I’m not sure about this case, but I know for certain files, an update won’t change them. This is so that possible user customizations aren’t blown away. The process intends to be “smart” but it isn’t infinitely smart. I believe it errs on the side of caution. Again, not sure about your use case. Maybe someone else knows more about this one.

@Alan-Kilborn You are right, it was a python file, so I had to change the setting for python files. Thank you!

Thanks a Lot. This works fine.

@Terry-R wow thanks alot terry ima hop on that later and see if i can start to code you helped me alot thanks and enjoy youre day sincirley -Andre.

@DIV-on-github

I don’t think it can be done with builtin functionality as long as you cannot
ensure that the backslash is not glued to other chars.
The only other possibility I see is to use a script like this one with a regex like \\(?=\s) .
