@Michal-Simek ,

Did the AppData folder get properly created? Does user xxx have read/write permission to that folder and that file? Did you have another instance of Notepad++ open while trying to do the installation (in which case, maybe there was a lock on the file while the installer tried to install it).

@Mike-McCutcheon ,

Sorry. The tab bar file names do not have a font-size setting controllable by Notepad++. As far as I know, it uses the same font size as the menu bar does by default, which (I believe) is defined by Windows.

The Windows Settings “Ease of Access > Display” settings can affect that… but that makes all text in Windows bigger, not just the menu bar and tab bar fonts.

It is probably a Notepad++ thing.
If I try a similar experiment on a file that has no space in its path, I get the file open in Edge.
If I put a single space in the path of the file (by renaming it in N++), Edge tells me:

@Shesh-Nioice said in Merge 2 Files - Lines Containing Same:

I should be start learning regular expressions very interesting and helpful.

To learn about regexes (regular expressions) start with our FAQ section. There are a number of helpful links to sites (I see you already found one, regex101.com). There is the manual for NPP which is on the NPP homepage. Other references are also linked within the FAQ posts.

I was where you are now not too long ago, but I too found the regulars here were very helpful to me and now I pass that forward. As always we strive not only to help users, but to guide them so they can gain more knowledge. Regexes are brilliant but don’t forget to start small at first as it can be quite daunting to attempt to read some of the more complex regexes that are provided on this forum. The beauty of regex101.com is that it does explain what the regex is doing so that will give you some insight.

@Email-Subjekt said in Can't save an Open File:

The reason why I never installed the newest version is I kept all my files unsaved in notepad ++

And no independent backups, right?
Bad ideas, these.

@Sean-Bliss said in Find Replace Time Stamps?:

Is there a way to find and replace all these time stamps? “10:22” “10:24” “05:19”

I presume we are talking about a text file? As for looking for specific types of character strings regular expressions are the way to go.

However you haven’t really explained enough nor provided enough of examples in order for us to really help.

Can you provide a list of perhaps 4-10 different lines showing exactly how they look in the file (starting the line or midway through, whole line etc). When posting the examples please insert them, then highlight all of them and hit the </> button you see immediately above the posting window. This prevents the forum from potentially mangling your examples (it attempts to format and some characters have special meanings).

To start you off though, to find the time stamps you would likely use something like
\d\d:\d\d
each \d is a number position. In fact using that and marking all the lines you will have every time stamp line marked and could then remove marked lines. As what I provided is a regular expression any search or mark function would need the search mode set to “regular expression”.

But if at all uncertain, please do provide “real” examples in the method I outlined, this will put a black box around them when posted. Also include what you hope to do once selected, do you want to replace them or just delete them?

Thanks
Terry

It took me some time to figure out what you did there (I am new to NPP …) - but yes! that is exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you so much for your kind help.

@M-Andre-Z-Eckenrode said in Want to copy all from specific character to end of line of each line.:

very handy Python script…which allows you to copy all marked text, and requires installing the Python Script plugin

It appears that this ability might be “going native”, meaning no longer a need for a script to do it.
See https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/8867
It isn’t accepting in to the actual codebase yet as of this writing, so if you’d like to see that feature with “inside Notepad++” support, maybe comment at that site.
For me, I’ve had that script set up for a long time, so it makes no difference to me.

@I-neuw ,

As it says in https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/

The underlying XML files are all found in %AppData%\notepad++\ (or, for zip-based local installations, in the Notepad++ executable directory) unless otherwise noted.

@PeterJones

Actually, NOPE!, I sure didn’t.
Thanks for the reminder.
I actually think I’m pretty good at remembering previous questions/answers, but not this time.

@Joseph-McCay ,

There are some known issues with High DPI. I don’t know if this “dancing text selection” is one of them. (I don’t have high DPI, so cannot test)

Also, you might want to see if one of your plugins is causing the issue: run with the -noPlugin command line argument and see if the problem persists: if it goes away, it was one of your plugins. You can then start trying plugins one at a time to see which causes it to come back (if you rename the folders in <installdir>/plugins/ and re-run Notepad++, any plugin whose folder name was changed will not be loaded; so you could rename them all, then one-at-a-time name them correctly again, until the problem comes back.)

Or you may have to wait for a user with High DPI to chime in, if they have seen this.

“feature” (maybe to mess with intoxicated people)?

The developer has an odd sense of humor, but I doubt he adds “features” to intentionally mess with people (unless you consider the ghost-typing and easter-egg options to be “messing with people”). :-)

Thanks.

Hello, @jeff-brewer, @peterjones, @olivier-thomas and All,

Here is my solution :

SEARCH Account Number(:\h*.*[\l\u])|-

REPLACE ?1Description\1

Note : When a dash is matched, the group 1 does not exist. As the conditional replacement ?1Description\1 does not contain any else part, any dash character is then deleted !

Best Regards,

Hi, @jeff-brewer, @peterjones and All,

Just a shorter variant S/R :

SEARCH Account Number(?=:\h*.*[\l\u])

REPLACE Description

Cheers,

guy038

@Alan-Kilborn thanks

this is amazing i m use many time and it’s help me a lot many people AR using that and it’s give much benefit there are many people ate searching for and download it free notepad++ is free total

I implemented step#1 : Display a Binary file.

The Next Goal : Column Mode

The binary mode will fix all ‘incorrect data’ issues of the HexEditor Plugin

@S-Itzik THIS IS AWESOME. Thank you so much for sharing! So much time wasted on errors with small text.

Got it straightened out. Had to reinstall. Thanks.

@PeterJones Thanks a lot for that very good information!
I´ll see how to deal with this.
