    Hi @Cooeeeee

    I see. The point of my post was to simplify @Fernando-Sorensen’s method, because although ingenious, it requires several steps. The basic idea was to do everything without additional windows, be it a second editor, the column editor or a search window, that would block or cut off the flow of the operation.

    The only thing that the BetterMultiSelection plugin is good for in my approach is precisely to insert the blank lines, an operation that standard multiselection cannot do - see @Alan-Kilborn’s post below - . But if the text already has blank lines interleaved, then the plugin is not necessary and, as your .gif shows, line interleaving can be done directly with standard multiselection.

    Which is the best method? For the reasons detailed above and because I have nothing against third party plugins either - in fact, I think they are a great addition to Notepad++ and heavily use them - I still prefer mine, but I have no objection to people using the one they find best.

    Thank you and, as always, have fun!

    I don’t think so, but you last post serves that purpose. Happy to help!

    @PeterJones Thanks, Peter. It shouldn’t be a problem for me to just hit the collapse command again after I’ve deleted the line. The problem is it keeps surprising me. I forget it’s going to happen! The example I gave was simplistic, but when it’s two hundred lines collapsed underneath, not just two or three, everything moves on the screen and I have to find where I was editing again in order to collapse that section.

    If there is a solution, I’d love to hear it. At least this exercise has made it clearer to me what’s causing it. No doubt I’ll still forget the next time I start using Notepad++, but now it should only happen once to prompt me to note what line I’m on before hitting [Delete]!

    … Although, thinking a little more about it, if I follow your recommendation of immediately using Ctrl+Alt+F it shouldn’t matter what section the screen is showing me, it’ll collapse at the correct point! Yippie! So you have provided a solution. Many thanks. :-)

    Hello,@Michael-Vincent

    Regex Explanation :

    (?i) - modifier to make the search case-insensitive
    (?<=^function) - positive lookbehind to find the position immediately preceded by the sub-string function at the start of the line
    \s+ - matches 1+ occurrences of a white-space character
    \K - forget everything matched so far
    \w+ - matches 1+ occurrences of all the characters which fall within the character class [a-zA-Z0-9_]
    Add the following parser tag to the file functionList.xml

    <parser id="mylang" displayName="mylang_syntax"> <function mainExpr="(?i)(?<=^function)\s+\K\w+" /> </parser>

    I hope this information will be useful.
    Thank you.

    @Terry-R said in How can i sort out several letters from one word:

    or do you wish to remove/replace the found

    My bad, I see you do want to remove, so the replace function would work with the “Replace With” field left blank. Search mode would need to be “regular expression”.

    @Michael-Memphis said in Compare two files and delete differences:

    I need to match file one to file two and delete the non-matching lines

    I don’t use plugins, of which there are quite a few, and maybe one of those might have what you are looking for.

    However I would do it as follows.

    For the file with ONLY account numbers, append an a to the account number. For the file with other additional information append a b to the account number and if required copy that account number (with b) to the front of the line. Combine both files into 1 new file. Sort the file numerically. Thus an account with “a” would appear before the corresponding line from file #2 (which has a b appended to account number). Use a regular expression (regex) to remove all lines with the a appended or a b line where there is no corresponding a line. This can be completed in either 1 or 2 regexes. Also remove the appended b to clean up those lines.

    The result will be a new file #2. However the caveat is that now the file will have accounts in possibly a different order to what they were initially before combining and sorting. This can be overcome by additional steps in the process.

    You will note that I haven’t provided any regexes, as you haven’t provided any examples of how file 1 and 2 look. I’m not suggesting providing real data (possible confidentiality issues) but as the regexes can only be matched to real data we do need examples of how the data looks in order to better support you (replace some real data with dummy info of the same type). Please read the FAQ, primarily the post titled:
    FAQ Desk: Request for Help without sufficient information to help you
    Whilst this post refers more to problems running Notepad++, the use of codes to insert examples in your post will be of help.

    @Ann-Other said in Need to turn laser gcode into plotter gcode:

    Is it possible to make it automatic so that I give notepad the file name and it gives me back the amended file?

    What you could do is record a macro with several replacement operations in it.
    Then when you have loaded your file into N++, run the macro.

    Yes, as I said, DeepL does not support as many languages as Google, Microsoft etc… yet.
    In my opinion, the secret of a good translation is to be as accurate as possible in your native language.
    Furthermore, I proceed in such a way that I check whether the translated text can be meaningfully retranslated.
    If so, then it will be understandable, at least I hope so.
    Example data should NEVER be translated, otherwise exactly what you have described can happen.

    @Mark-Russell-0

    I have tried to reproduce this crash but unfortunately I failed.
    Like you, I created 7 directories and added them in FAW.
    Then I created another 217 directories and 21000 files in these 7 directories.

    As a test I have now modified all 21000 files - Npp is not crashed.

    Maybe I haven’t reached the limit yet or there is still something you have to do to reproduce the crash.
