Hi @ijoel92 Not natively. But there is a Python script that I think does what you want. See details in this and subsequent posts. If you want to try the script, here are some instructions to install it: Have fun!

@Meathead It’s really a rather easy thing for a scripting plugin to do, as Peter says. Here’s a demo using PythonScript; see if you can follow its logic without further explanation: from Npp import editor city_string = ''' Sydney Melbourne Adelaide ''' city_list = city_string.splitlines() city_list.pop(0) for city in city_list: editor.replace('city', city, 0, 0, editor.getLength(), 4)

@Egor-Artemenko said in Lags during up and down navigation with arrows on large PHP-file, 500 Kb, 16k lines: Another tweak is detecting fast actions Extremely unlikely. The core design of Notepad++ and Scintilla is single threaded. Once an “event” should do some computation this computation is happening and even if it is unexpectedly long there is no way to abort it. With “fast actions” which is practically 2 quick events the 2nd event cannot influence the 1st event.

@PeterJones said in How do I change file tab's font name and size ?: I believe it may be influenced by Windows theme settings If it is influenced by the Windows settings, then on Windows 10 the changes must be done in registry (was removed from control panel since previous Windows version). Have a look at: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-default-system-font-windows-10 which outlines the method. This is not something to be taken lightly as there’s no fail-safe as would be available when it is run through a GUI. Terry PS I haven’t tested this yet as my company dislikes these sorts of changes done by users.

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!
