Well, some time later I have reviewed and the versa 350 has pentium M processor, my very old device is also a Pentium III and got the same errors that ARI1972’s. I assume the VM are installed in a more recent hardware then they support the machine instructions that fail in P-III hardware. I use the version of NP++ that gives me the two exception errors but it works anyway. I’ll continue using my p-III until the device gets a “no-more” condition.

If you will ever open regedit on a Hebrew Windows and see all the English content aligned right-to-left you would lose all respect to Microsoft.

Maybe I should give it a try to finally be persuaded to switch to Linux :-D

@Michael-DeLigny

To be a bit more specific, these might be the settings you’ll want to experiment with:

Also: You can temporarily change the size of text by pointing your mouse at the window, holding the Ctrl key, and scrolling the mouse wheel in either direction.

I don’t want to change the native format of the text I’m viewing

This shows you have a basic misunderstanding about what text editing is and what a text editor does. @zanud clarifies nicely with:

(None) of file types supported by Notepad++ have font-related properties. All font names, sizes, styles used by Notepad++ are for viewing only, and they are never stored in the files.

@mkupper ,

I could be wrong, but this sounds like this recent discussion and also this earlier discussion. On those, I don’t know if anyone has bothered putting in an official github issue or not. But if what you describe is the same as those (especially the first I mentioned), and if there isn’t an existing issue in the repo, then maybe you would be willing to submit the report.

@wwwdeals said in Why won't NPP open .txt files:

I’m surprised after 5 years this issue is still around.

Unless there is a way to reproduce the cause, it is hard to fix I guess.

@Mario-Valle ,

To avoid a potential data corruption in case of sudden power loss, Notepad++ since version 7.9.1 writes files directly to disk on save - no operating system RAM caching is used. This ensures that your files are really safely written to disk when you save them but writing to disk is slower than writing to RAM buffer.
Now if your “disk” is slow in write speed then that might be the reason you are seeing such delay. By “disk” here I mean the non-volatile (persistent) media where your files are located.
Mapped network drives, SD cards, USB drives are examples of medias (“disks”) that are relatively slow on write.

@Kerry-Down

I don’t know anything about nitrado, but i guess it’s a web hosting provider. Read the FAQ or the wiki of nitrado to learn how to configure SFTP or FTP access to your server. This forum is a support forum for Notepad++.

The fix will come with v7.9.3:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/38f6319f4ee52b17b0c279a772bcdb18da4b0921

I’m not usually one for guessing, but could be the OP wants the second occurrence of <o> to be turned into 1, the third turned into 2, etc. ?

But yes, I agree, the problem could be stated better, and real text provided as a starting point for someone that wants to try working on it.

Hi @im-FL

It’s a known issue and will be fixed on next release. Here is a workaround.

Take care and have fun!

@Jürgen-Nießen ,

Sorry, auto-indent keeps comments at the same level of indentation as the code block the comment is a part of (because the auto-indentation is a feature coded at the editor level, whereas the marking of “comment” is coded at the lexer/syntax-highlighter level).

That said, alternatives include:

running code through an external “pretty print” utility – @Michael-Vincent gives examples of how to do that in an old post <edit>: in this old post (which was linked from the other; sorry.)</edit> using one of the scripting plugins (like PythonScript) to set up a hook to watch what you type, and if you type the comment indicator on a line that has only whitespace before that indicator, the script could un-indent for you. Similar things have been done recently, and if you need help, we could dig up links to those previous discussions, and/or someone might be willing to hack up a script engineer a solution for you, if it catches their fancy

@PeterJones said in Load stylers.xml failed:

I am assuming your tomorrow.xml file is somehow corrupted. I suggest re-downloading it from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme/master/notepad%2B%2B/tomorrow.xml, with the steps:
3. Download from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme/master/notepad%2B%2B/tomorrow.xml and save as %AppData%\Notepad++\themes\tomorrow.xml

Thank you @PeterJones for helping me sort it out. I now know what the problem was for me.

On the Github, I would right-click tommorow.xml file and save as and for some reason, that file would give me an error message that I posted. When I right-clicked on your link that had raw. in the beginning and saved as it worked fine. I use Google Chrome I don’t know if that has to do anything with it.

So for the rest variations of the style instead of right-clicking on the tommorow.xml I clicked on it then selected RAW and then saved the page as and it worked for all the rest of the styles.

Thank You

@pnedev
Ok, i’ll look into this.
Thansk for your reply!

@Alan-Kilborn That looks exactly like my issue. Thanks!

@Cloud-Stray

Using npp on Linux to program in C is like using a fork to eat soup, I guess. The compilers installed depend on the operating system you are using.

@Jose-Emilio-Osorio said in Good Morning. How to see find and see only the lines duplicated in a file ?. Thanks:

I just need to verify which are the duplicates before they are deleted.

Since you say that you aren’t interested in getting the lines back to the original order it makes the solution much easier. It also means that you should not be concerned about which line is actually marked for deletion (question #1).

So the first step is to sort the file. You can select either ascending or descending lexicographical order, it makes no difference, except to the visual aspect (possibly easier on the eye when sorted ascending). This is achieved by selecting the “Sort Lines lexicographically Ascending” or “Sort Lines lexicographically Descending” which is under “Line Operations”, under the Edit menu.

Next we just need to mark (bookmark) the lines which are duplicates. This is achieved by using the “Mark” function, under “Search” menu.
Find What:(?-s)^(.+)\R(?=\1)
Make sure "Bookmark line is ticked. The cursor should be on the first line of the file, otherwise some duplicates might get missed. Wrap around should not be ticked (as we don’t want to consider the last line as a duplicate of the first). Search Mode must be “regular expression”. Click on the “Mark All” button.

The file will now show a number of lines that have a mark in the left margin, normally a blue circle. You can use “F2” or “Shift-F2” to move to the next (or previous) bookmarked line for viewing. These bookmarks might be erased if performing some more operations on the file, such as another sort. If this happens just run the Mark operation again.

To delete the bookmarked lines use the “Remove Bookmarked Lines” listed under “Bookmark” which is under the “Search” menu.

@Alan-Kilborn said in How to visually differentiate 2 files in editing with the same file name but coming from 2 different folders:

Point to a tab and hover and after a brief delay it will show you the path to that tab.

BRILLIANT! I don’t think I ever knew that. Funny how I use Notepad++ daily, script with it, for it, write plugins … yet I still discover simple new “features” every now and again.

Cheers.

@PeterJones said in Missing .CSV Save As Extension:

With all that said, there is another option (literally): if you are opening lots of files that have no extension to start with, you might consider changing the Settings > Preferences > MISC. > Set Save dialog file extension filter to .* instead of .txt for Normal Text option, which will make the default Save As type as . instead of *.txt, so then you can default to typing the extension for plain text files.

As someone (“bReathl3sS”) points out HERE it appears that setting is going to get a tweak soon. Not sure if that impacts anything said right here, but I wanted to point it out for future readers, in case it does.

@PeterJones said in Add specific line to a large quantity of .nfo files:

Matching only at the beginning of a file isn’t always easy…

But, isn’t it easy now? (Now meaning 7.9.1 and later)
At that point, N++ regex got a fix for \A which allows that sort of replacement to work, without a ^ hanging off the end, or other tricks.

From the 7.9.1 announcement is item number 3:

3. Fix RegEx look behind operations and \A and and \b and \z (Fix #713, #1870, #2216, #2360, #9004, #4855).

Of course, OP in this thread could be using some earlier version…

Hey phenomenal11.
I was able to make collapsable tabs by using the Nimrod language.
I came to the forum for an answer, found this unanswered one and then noticed that my language is one of the predefined ones (Normal Text originally) as compared to your user-defined one. Thought I’d give the others a try and the first one i picked was Nimrod and it worked.
And because I’m like this, I went through all of the predefined languages and found that Python and Visual Basic weren’t so bad either. YAML was almost ok, except it writes everything in red.
Nimrod still made format changes like bolding and as a keyword and coloring everything after a double quotation mark, but switching to “vibrant ink” in the style configurator made it all go away.
So although no one answered your question, it did inspire me to find my own. I hope my solution can help you in the same way.
Cheers
