Thank you for reply.

@Luiza-Henriques Perhaps it would help if you would fully show the text behind your Preferences window? As from what I can see of it, EVERYTHING is underlined and that is not right. Links should be enabled by default, without you having to change any settings.

@VAVoices Does this also happen if you are using npp without plugins installed? Can be tested by using the -noPlugin command line switch.

99% solved, final resume: As usual, there where different issues, complementing each other - from the software and from me … the current user has no admin-rights, so there is the usual problem of admin versus user there was the 32bit of NP++ installed; the update to 64bit did not reset all registry-settings of 32bit I checked the HKLM-settings and thought that this will overwrite the user-settings: my fault, existing user settings stayed alive there where user settings for “.re” which linked to “re_auto_file” which linked to inactive x86-start-commands Now I cleaned up all x86-values to current links, and this enabled the command “Open with … - select Standard application …” again. Now a double-click on .VVA and .RE opens it with NP++ The last “1% cosmetic unsolved” for both file types is that the icon in Explorer is smaller than the standard icon and the file-description is not “Notepad++ Document”. Thanks to all posters for advice!

@gstavi said in search and highlight 2 or more words with different colors: In what way does this improve over right click -> Style token? It really doesn’t. :-) Except that you don’t have to find an occurrence (by hand or search) of your “token” first, in order to rclick it. The script is really just a demo that someone could build something related upon. I can’t see someone typing all those “tokens” very often… It really makes way more sense to use a UDL for such a purpose (OP’s original “log analysis”). And that was my first suggestion to OP. But everyone has their own workflow. And their own likes, dislikes, and "I want"s.

@guy038 Thank you for your hard work. :)

@PeterJones, Thank you! I was sure there had to be a way to do this. I was hoping to avoid using something outside UDL, but I’m glad to know there is a way to deal with this. Gonna take look at it.

@Brian-Mazakas said in Add or Modify the Toolbar: Hope this helps somebody I don’t think it is going to, as it seems to be mostly complaints rather than helpful info. :-(

@Patrik-Spacek said in Show a list of same words before replacement: a nice advanced addition to notepad++ Sounds like a job for a plugin. But just for that simple function, a little script serves well. But if a potential plugin added a bunch of analysis features, of which a histogram is just one…well, that would be valuable. My friend already coded all I need (in 20mins) and works perfectly, its compiled separately, but works great. (not in python) Sounds like overkill, but when one has to sponge off of a friend’s good will, you get what you get.

@PeterJones Sorry, it was inadvertently saved to a JSON file.

I am not going to bother replying directly to the original poster anymore, because he obviously doesn’t like my help. However, for future readers, there was a factual error above: unlike what was said, DSpellCheck can and will replace “barry” with “Barry” or “allen” with “Allen”: [image: 1611155596467-8651f959-3666-44ff-8125-80b6897e54e9-image.png] You have the choice of replacing it one time by selecting the top Allen in the replacement. Or you can go down to Replace All "allen" with > and select Allen from that menu, where every occurrence of the word will be replaced. Hopefully this will counteract any misconceptions caused by reading certain posts in this thread.

@PeterJones I totally read that but didn’t realize the machine I’m using was out of date!

@Javier-Rivas I have been able to achieve my objext using notepad++ although it is quite inelegant. I have a folder with 1000 text files, which I duplicated. I then renamed them with a suffix 000.txt -> 999.txt Each file has a unique first line, with a name and number, and all I did was do a search and replace to add in an extra zero and change the _001 to _0001 It will give me a unique first line, but will be a little more messy when combine with the other folder – but will work for what I am after. Thanks for your help!! Most appreciates. Daja PS I know I’ve done it before, and it’s driving me nuts that I don’t remember how or where I found it…

@tommick1 Although I also recommend switching to utf8 encoding, there is a plugin called AutoCodepage that I think may be helpful in your case.

@Chaithra-Gururaj How exactly did you start the process. From what you posted, it looks like there is no space between python and new1.py.

@minemax said in востоновление файлов: из-за ошибки пришлось переустанавать программу из-за чего у меня удолились все мои блакноты можно ли их как небудь вернуть Полагаю, вы имеете в виду информацию о сеансе. В зависимости от того, как была выполнена предыдущая установка, вы все равно сможете найти ее под %APPDATA%\notepad++\backup. I assume you mean the session information. Depending on how your previous installation was, you may still be able to find it under %APPDATA%\notepad++\backup.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Manipulations on many files: “XY problem” “XY problem” ? I made it and in this way you doubted. Any questions more ?

Hello, @ekopalypse and @guy038 Thank you very much for the quick response. The Solution provided by @guy038 completely solves the problem and now I can write anything in my language. So nice of you @guy038 to provide the solution with other research outputs that will further help us for using it effectively. with regards Ajit
