Thanks for your replies! @wonkawilly said in Call Notepad++ from Firefox to edit Text Field?: … Easy, direct, and no plugins or scripting needed. If you want to complicate things use addons to make easy tasks like this more difficult. Addons are powerful but it must worth their use and for this I’m not sure I got this job from colleagues which used the old version of add-on “withexeditor” and told me “it’s so fine and so important and …”, but the more I look at it (and the value behind it …) the more I have doubts about the time to invest for a “simple solution”

@Georg-Hohmann There is an issue with the NppSaveAsAdmin plugin, can it be that you are using it as well?

@wonkawilly said in how to put numbers every two rows?: there is a little error in the row It’s OK. BTW I didn’t go step by step through to check for accuracy. It’s enough that you very clearly showed the technique, enough to get someone started down that same path.

@Ward-Ricker Well, now to answer my own question. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Notepad++ once again. This time it seems to have fixed the problem. I don’t know why it didn’t fix it the first time, but apparently I am all set.

@John-Johnson Looks like the setting remember current session for next lauch has been reset. Settings->Preferences->Backup->Remember…

@Ekopalypse I’m back to normal. Thanks for your help, this copy did it. best regards Diedrich

@WEST-HOTEL , Further to @Ekopalypse reply, see this FAQ for the technical details of text files (within Notepad++'s abilities) and binary files (not within Notepad++'s abilities). I recommend you find a help forum about whatever scanner you used, or better, the OCR software you have access to. But we cannot help you here. Sorry.

@Ekopalypse said in A config about DirectWrite switch for emoji and Fira code font.: too lazy to find out v7.8.8, according to this search

That’s it! You answered my query. Many many thanks @Ekopalypse

Thanks for your reply @PeterJones I have reinstalled Notepad ++ last version and now “JavaScript (embedded)” appears on my list; but as you have said the issue continues. It seems that “.” is not considered as a word separator to identify keywords to apply the style configuration. [image: 1613380806055-notepadplusplus.png]

@Vasile-Caraus said in Regex: Select everything from the beginning of the file to another string / word / tag: seems good in notepad++ As a reminder, this Forum is about Notepad++ . If a regex works in Notepad++, then this isn’t really the right place to ask about your problem. I am glad the you figured it out, but let’s keep any regex discussion here on topic.

@guy038 Hello sir, Is there any possibilities of saving name from text file instead of File_1?. Thanks.

@PeterJones Teaching literature is not an advantage when you use pc that’s why sometimes I ask on communities simple questions. Is working now. Thanks a lot!

@Vasile-Caraus A viable technique, although not a technique inside Notepad++. I think your technique is going to also copy over the “START” and “FINNISH” lines into the destination file, which, to the OP, may not be desirable.

Thanks for all the input thus far. Much obliged!

Hi, @ohm-dios, Ah…, of course ! In the search regex : (?s-i)START\h*(\d+).+?END\R(?=.+(START\h*\1\R.+?END\R?))|^===.+ You’ll notice the part START\h*\1\R, which defines the beginning of the paragraph that need to be copied, located under the ======== line The back-reference \1 to the group 1 ( which is the number after the START string and space char(s) ) must be immediately followed with the EOL chars ( \R ) Thus, if anything is located between the number and the end of line, it cannot be equal to the corresponding number, located above the ========= line => NO match of this specific paragraph :-(( BR guy038

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks, I didn’t know the “Word Wrap” view.

Probably best to avoid the old TextFX plugin. Double-clicking the “length : xxxx lines : yyyy” part of the status bar will bring up a Summary box which has a word-count. Also available via View menu > Summary… Here’s a sample, highlighting the word-count area: [image: 1613133314247-3b058e7e-641e-4990-af8e-02b038232eb3-image.png]
