@guy038 Thanks. You’re boss this forum.

Done,

So it quite easy. You should let .ini .txt attach to their default apps (notepad.exe)
and simply change manually the reg info from
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inifile
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inifile\shell\open\command pointing to Notepad++
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inifile\DefaultIcon The .ico of your choice

and that it.
You should avoid Windows to make the binding for you :)

@PeterJones said in How to replace all content from XML tag with blank in notepad++?:

Nitpick: it’s the . operator that is affected by (?-s), not the *, since the s flag is “dot matches newline”. But . wasn’t used in your expression, either, so the flag-clearing is still useless. :-)

Yep, my bad, I stated a wrong reason, thank you for notice it :)

Well, not completely useless. As we help people in the forums, always including either (?-s) or (?s) will ensure we never have to care what the status of their checkbox is, so having one of the two in our default answer-regex is a good idea. ;-)

Agree, learned that in this forum, so the (?-s) modifier is my default setup.

Cheers

Hello, @terry-gaff-0 and All,

I second what Alan said :

This sounds like a potentially dangerous situation.
Well, for your data, not for you.

Indeed, you must define what to do, when any of your searches is unsuccessful. If you’re using the regular expression search mode, it usually means that some templates, in your data, are not taken in account by the overall regex search expression !

Best regards,

@Chris-Betts

If, for example, I define ( and ) as operators I do get the following

How did you define the brackets, as delimiters and if so have you allowed nesting with numbers?

@Michael-Vincent

Oh, yeah, I see. Thanks ! I thought it’s gonna add the tip to the word itself. Like when you type “abs” you get a tip…

Is it possible to do so though ?

And is it possible to start my function with " ?

The good news: thanks to the screenshot, now I know that it should be possible (somehow).
Will contact the author of the plugin for details.

Thank you both!

@Nivrutti-Pawar

g++ seems to have an issue here g++.exe: error: ô1prg.cppö: No such file or directory

Where does ô and ö come from? Are you using the correct "
and not the “? Are you running with an unusual OS setup?

cmd /c "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\a.exe" this will most probably fail
as I would expect 1prg.exe to be created.

😍😍😍 Happy Days Everyone! 😍😍😍

I “works” for me. They aren’t colorized, but they do show up as emoticons. You probably need to select your encoding. For me, a new document, “UTF-8” encoding from the menu “Encoding” and then copying and pasting your emoticons shows:

@Alan-Kilborn said in Temporary change of tab:

In Notepad++ Pythonscript Python, since it doesn’t end until Notepad++ is closed, things from previously run scripts “hang around”.

I knew there is an idea behind

my newer way of doing things is by putting most everything into a “class”

Yes, also my preferred way to keep the scope of the script tight.

So far it seems to be working okay for me

and this is what counts.

@MAPJe71

you could be right, we’ll see.

Thx for the help, really appreciate it :D

OH no, he he i feel such a fool now, i always knew it was, but i had a mental block, of course it is you just reminded me DOH!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Put it down to the stroke i have down the RH side. thanx again

@AlleXuSS-Gr

No, this is nothing what editors normally do and I haven’t seen
such a feature in other editors but who knows … maybe there is
one out there which has this ability.

Hi, @alan-kilborn and All,

So, in order to take in account possible translations of the first line of a Find result search, I change my previous regex from :

SEARCH (?-is)^(Search)\x20"|^(?!\x20\x20\u:\\).+\R|\x20\x20(.+)\x20\(\d+\x20hits?\)$

To :

SEARCH (?-is)^(\H.+)|^(?!\x20\x20\u:\\).+\R|^\x20\x20(.+)\x20\(\d+\x20.+\)$

And I updated my previous post, of course !

@Minh-Rau

I’m not sure I understand what you try to achieve.
What means take all text in this case?
Can you explain in more detail what exactly you want to do?

@Hennie-Marais

normally files under c:\Progam files\ are installed applications,
so the normal way would be to uninstall those instead of trying
to delete them.
By the way, did you install the official npp or the one provided
by the windows store?

@PeterJones Thanks for the suggestions: I didn’t realize the bit about -noPlugin. I ended up installing the newest version of np++ first, and then realizing the reason I hadn’t been using the x64 is because there are still plugins that don’t work with it, so installed latest x86 and went through each plugin.

Not sure what to make about the file paths information, since I’m only interested in why notepad++ was opening this specific file, in IE’s temporary directory…

Anyway, for anyone else who is (unreasonably?) paranoid, the culprit is “JSTool”. And, rather marvelously, it’s actually got an option that seems to control this, “Disable new version checking” (which, of course, makes sense why it’s accessing some temp internet dir file).

I really appreciate the help (and pointers; plugins completed skipped my mind here). This is a trivial thing, but I’m actually pretty skittish about files being open I didn’t explicitly expect. (And as an aside, tend not to let things write to my SSD; on windows, everything’s reparse pointed elsewhere).

tl;dr np++ is well behaved and lovely, JSTools hits counters.dat for its updates and has facility to disable the behavior. ;) TGIF!

Edit: Is it possible to change this thread topic to “SOLVED” or the like? Feeling like such a newb…

@Anass-Chawki

Check with the shortcut mapper window (Settings->Shortcut Mapper)
to see if these shortcuts are still set or whether another app
has “stolen” the shortcuts.

@David-Bennett said in SAVE all favorites?:

a N++ native solution exists it’s much better still

Yes, I don’t think you’ll get anyone disagreeing with that.
