Hello, @terry-r and All,

After numerous tests, here are my conclusions about the insertion of ASCI symbols, with Unicode code-point < \x{007F}, in replies on NodeBB forum

Four cases will be considered :

Inside Normal text, possibly emphasized :

Writing of the symbol itself

Writing of the symbol, preceded by a backslash \

Inside Code Span zones or Code Block zones ( delimited between two lines of 3 backticks or two lines of 3 underscores ) or text indented with 4 space chars :

Writing of the symbol itself

Writing of the symbol, preceded by a backslash \

- If inside NORMAL text, possibly EMPHASIZED : •------•--------* •---------•--------* | Type | To get | | Type | To get | •------•--------* •---------•--------* | \\[ | [ | | \\\\\[ | \\[ | | \\] | ] | | \\\\\] | \\] | •------•--------* •---------•--------* | | | | | | | \\ | \ | | \\\\ | \\ | | \* | * | | \\\* | \* | | \+ | + | | \\\+ | \+ | | \# | # | | \\\# | \# | | \- | - | | \\\- | \- | | \= | = | | \\\= | \= | | \> | > | | \\\> | \> | •------•--------* •---------•--------* | { | { | | \\{ | \{ | | } | } | | \\} | \} | | ( | ( | | \\( | \( | | ) | ) | | \\) | \) | | ^ | ^ | | \\^ | \^ | | $ | $ | | \\$ | \$ | | . | . | | \\. | \. | | | | | | | \\| | \| | | ! | ! | | \\! | \! | | " | " | | \\" | \" | | % | % | | \\% | \% | | & | & | | \\& | \& | | ' | ' | | \\' | \' | | , | , | | \\, | \, | | / | / | | \\/ | \/ | | ; | ; | | \\; | \; | | < | < | | \\< | \< | | ? | ? | | \\? | \? | | @ | @ | | \\@ | \@ | | _ | _ | | \\_ | \_ | | ` | ` | | \\` | \` | •------•--------• •---------•--------• - IF inside a CODE SPAN zone `....` or a CODE BLOCK zone ~~~....~~~~ / ```....``` or in text INDENTED with FOUR spaces : •------•--------* •--------•--------* | Type | To get | | Type | To get | •------•--------* •--------•--------* | [ | [ | | \\\[ | \\[ | | ] | ] | | \\\] | \\] | •------•--------• •--------•--------• | \ | \ | | \\ | \\ | | * | * | | \* | \* | | + | + | | \+ | \+ | | { | { | | \{ | \{ | | } | } | | \} | \} | | ( | ( | | \( | \( | | ) | ) | | \) | \) | | ^ | ^ | | \^ | \^ | | $ | $ | | \$ | \$ | | . | . | | \. | \. | | | | | | | \| | \| | | ! | ! | | \! | \! | | " | " | | \" | \" | | # | # | | \# | \# | | % | % | | \% | \% | | & | & | | \& | \& | | ' | ' | | \' | \' | | , | , | | \, | \, | | - | - | | \- | \- | | / | / | | \/ | \/ | | : | : | | \: | \: | | ; | ; | | \; | \; | | < | < | | \< | \< | | = | = | | \= | \= | | > | > | | \> | \> | | ? | ? | | \? | \? | | @ | @ | | \@ | \@ | | _ | _ | | \_ | \_ | | ` | ` | | \` | \` | •------•--------• •--------•--------• Remark : If a single BACK-TICK character must be inserted in a CODE SPAN zone, use the following THREE-lines syntax : •------•--------* •--------•--------* | Type | To get | | Type | To get | •------•--------* •--------•--------* | **`` | | | **`` | | | ` | ` | | \` | \` | | ``** | | | ``** | | •------•--------• •--------•--------•

@Brett-Horsley

depending on your installation/configuration you will have
either an %APPDATA%\notepad++\backup directory or a
backup directory in the install directory of npp.
Rename the file with 100MB. Start Npp.

@PeterJones said in RegEx selective replace:

(?-s)(DRAW.*)Thirty

Many thanks!

Hi, @melad-eissa,

In my previous post, I give an example of the modifications needed :

INITIAL : sissleib6930 @ stu.howardcollege.edu : Not-Engaged EXPECTED : sissleib6930 @ stu.howardcollege.edu : Not-Engaged :Email. stu.howardcollege.edu

Seemingly, we need the part between the @ and the : chars because this part has to be re- written at the end of line, too

However, the part before the @ char does not change at all. So we can represent the goal as below ( note that Space chars are irrelevant )

The OVERALL match = $0 /¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\ INITIAL Text @ stu.howardcollege.edu : Not-Engaged EXPECTED Text @ stu.howardcollege.edu : Not-Engaged :Email. stu.howardcollege.edu \___________________/ \_____/ \___________________/ Group 1 String Repeated Group 1 SEARCH regex @ ( .+ ) : .+ REPLACEMENT regex $0 :Email. \1

Now, the exact syntax of this regex S/R is rather obvious :

SEARCH (?-s)@(.+):.+

REPLACE $0:Email.\1

And will change the initial text :

ernestobaltar@yahoo.com:Golden-Ball amaury.tenaille@epfedu.fr:SilverBall Inspirit@staplesnet.us:Copper_Ball Matthewsk@mail.montclair.edu:Encourage sissleib6930@stu.howardcollege.edu:Not-Engaged

into the expected text :

ernestobaltar@yahoo.com:Golden-Ball:Email.yahoo.com amaury.tenaille@epfedu.fr:SilverBall:Email.epfedu.fr Inspirit@staplesnet.us:Copper_Ball:Email.staplesnet.us Matthewsk@mail.montclair.edu:Encourage:Email.mail.montclair.edu sissleib6930@stu.howardcollege.edu:Not-Engaged:Email.stu.howardcollege.edu

Notes :

In the search regex :

First, the (?-s) ensures that any regex symbol . will match a single standard character, only and not EOL chars

Then the part @(.+): searches for the @ character followed with a non-null range of chars till a colon :. Note that this range is stored as group 1 because of the parentheses

The final part .+ represents the characters after the colon char of each line

In the replacement regex :

We first insert the overall pattern $0. So, everything between the @ char and the end of current line

Then, we write the literal string :Email.

-Finally, we re- write the contents of Group 1, so the name of each site, thanks to the \1 syntax

Best Regards,

guy038

@PeterJones
Well i raised a request on github page. I hope it gets some interest from the dev.

@Easter-Solve

Can I customizing the format result of the “Search”?

As a configuration option? Nope.

But what exactly want you to change maybe there is a workaround for that?

@Ekopalypse Thanks for your help and motivating me to go some steps further!

I got it:

I changed my setup to:

C:\notepad-plus-plus-master <- where I copied the current Notepad++ clone
C:\npp_7_8_8_bin_x64 <- where the latest realese was unzipped

This makes it possible to put the path in unitTestLauncher.ps1 without quotation marks (your proposal did not work as this was what caused the “unexpected token”-error), as there is no space in the path (due to Windows “Program Files” -> bad Microsoft!).

Now my first line in unitTestLauncher.ps1 is:

C:\npp_7_8_8_bin_x64\notepad++.exe -export=functionList -lasm .\asm\unitTest | Out-Null

BTW: I get onlly 2x “OK” as the bash test fails. But that´s another story.

Now I can go on with the VHDL unittest! Thanks for your help!

@guy038 said in Replace A if B=C:

Hi, @jaevwyn and All,

If I correctly understood you, you want that the value of the TillNumber attribute is changed by the number 91 ONLY IF the value of the StartDate attribute is prior to the date 2020-04-01

If so, the following regex S/R should work :

SEARCH \d+(?=</TillNumber>\R.+\R<StartDate>(19\d\d|20[01]\d|2020\-0[123]))

REPLACE 91

Of course, select the Regular expression search mode and, may be, the Wrap around option

Best Regards,

guy038

Perfect, thanks!

@WinterSilence Thank you, too for your input! I tried with RegEx, but it is just so much easier with Python…

@guy038 this did the trick :) Thank you so much… I tried that already but now i see i was missing ) so no wonder it didn’t work. Thanks again. Best regards

Okay, the breaking change in Notepad++ 7.8.5 was the menu structure. In the menu “Ansicht” (View), the submenu “Nicht druckbare Zeichen” (Non-printable characters) has been renamed to “Symbole anzeigen” (Show symbols). Since the custom toolbar button plugin only reads the menu titles (and doesn’t use persistent and language-invariant IDs like everybody else), it will break whenever something has been renamed there.

@Glogernater

This sounds similar to THIS.

@guy038 said in Extract the lines greater than:

And I thought that the OP wanted to select the entire lines with last number greater than 14.

Yes, you thought that because that’s what the OP said. :-)

May be, the OP just wants to delete lines with last number under 15 !

I don’t know about that.
I’ve already queried the OP on what his end goal is.
Probably best to wait for that answer, if it ever comes.

@PeterJones Hello and thanks Peter.

Notepad++ DebugInfo.jpg

“You uninstalled it, but have you rebooted to make sure that all remnants are gone?” Yes I did it because I don’t know why my computer stopped detecting some external hard drives connected through USB and tested in different ports so I finally rebooted.

Sorry but I realized (I think it could happened the same earlier) that could be a framwework windows border color problem (not windows or notepad++). I changed windows border framework because with dark mode I wasn’t able to see anything when I was managing windows border so I read a article how to geek in how to change it and now, I think that in the first image I can’t see the whole notepad++ window border because program is really top located and blue border is mixed with other program blue border
Notepad-Problem.jpg

But now it seems I can see notepad++ blue border mixed with other program blue border but I can see windows management icons
01 Windows frameworks.jpg

Sorry first for posting wrong images (this time I used upload image forum option) and secondly I think it could have been a visual effect and not a bug of windows or notepad++, anyway, I will keep checking it to see if I experience it again.

Thanks a lot for your help @PeterJones

Like most of @Makwana-Prahlad 's posts, this one deeply confuses me.

You need a new version of notepad++. Looks like old versions don’t support |.

Misinformation, unless by “old” you mean pre-6.0.
But why would you assume OP is using a really old version anyway – the OP didn’t say what version, but…

egrep

What does that have to do with anything??

egrep “CAT|TOWN” will search for lines containing CATOWN.

What does that have to do what the OP is needing to do?

I could pick apart the rest of the posting, but it is getting tiring.
Just please, don’t spread misinformation.

@guy038 said in How to suceed these actions in notepad++ (images included):

Thanks for searching on your own ! Your regex is OK if the second line begins with a digit but would not work if the first line would begin with a digit

I’am trying to learn! Not successfully i guess :-P

You are right i haven’t thought about the first line, i was focusing on artist because of my example. I don’t say that i could solve it though :-)

By the way your script works flawlessly

Hello, @hans-gerch and All,

The Range field ( Bereich ) is not intended to define the range of numbers

It’s just a kind of suffix-prefix symbol(s) which will be highlighted, like the numbers placed right before and, possibly, the numbers located right after

For instance, if that Range zone contains - :: __ ( a single dash, a double colon or a double underscore chars ), this means that, for instance, all the strings, below, will be highlighted in red

2-0.5 100::47 0.003__7.785 0000::

Now, I’m not very acquainted with UDL and I don’t see an obvious way to distinguish the digit 0 from the other digits ! I’m afraid that it cannot be do with the native N++ UDL feature.

However, you could use an enhanced UDL lexer, which could manage, differently, the 0 digit from the others. Two conditions :

Firstly, install the PythonScript plugin ( last version 1.5.4, using Python v2.7.18 )

Secondly, use the EnhanceUDLLexer.py Python script, created by @ekopalypse, from that post :

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17134/enhance-udl-lexer/31

@Michael-Vincent @Terry-R

Hey! Those don’t should like sh!tty names!
They seem like backronyms to me though. :-)

@guy038 said in Convert Clock Hours to Double Digits:

\b\d:\d\d([[:punct:]]\d\d([[:punct:]]\d\d)?)?

You are correct, that did the trick and saved me a lot of time. Thank you!

@Võ-Văn-Hiếu

I guess because a developer forgot to add it? :-)

If you want to get it added, you can make a request by following the instructions provided HERE.

As a workaround, you could record the operation into a macro, and then bind your desired keycombo to that macro.
