@PeterJones said in Advanced replace:

^\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\h*

That’s basically what I want, but sometimes it will be slight difference in the characters order in a specific line that I want to delete.
In simple words - sometimes the time (like 09:15:01) will be in the middle of a text line, not just in the beginning.
Here’s an actual example of what I want to do:
Take out those numbers next to the “Line” word, and additionally delete the date and time from each line.

When asking for search-and-replace help, context in regular expressions is everything. If you’re asking for help with regular expressions, you need to be as clear as possible. You said nothing about removing more than just the time.

I tried to use the syntax in FIND you suggested, unfortunately it didn’t work for me.

Because the requirements you listed were different than the requirements you had.

You still haven’t followed my advice above – presenting before and after data as text (marked with the </> button so it formats as unmodified text in the forum), so that we can copy/paste your text to experiment with – so we’ve still just got your verbal description of the problem as to what you want it to look like when it is done. So there’s a good chance that this second expression I give you won’t work either, because you have not defined your problem to us sufficiently.

I am going to assume you want to convert Line NUMBER: DATE TIME TEXT TO KEEP (where DATE and TIME match the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS,FFF format that you implied this time around; I am just assuming that NUMBER will be an integer with at least one digit) into Line: TEXT TO KEEP, but I will make the replace expression obvious enough that if you don’t want the Line: left in the final result, you can take it out.

Here is an example it works with:

Before:

After:

If you need changes compared to this, you will have to do a better job of showing that you want to help us help you. I have already explained how to do this in my first post.

@hardcider09

Without having a reproducible way to do/observe it, it is hard to say.
Personally, I use two UDLs quite often and have not observed such behavior, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there, obviously, just that I may not be acting in the order in which you do.

Thanks for reply. I forgot to mention I had tried various styles, and the problem persists. Here is a screenshot of that same screen, keeping in mind the background I have hit ctrl-a and the entire document is selected.

Hi, @mrmagnum8841, @peterjones, @alan-kilborn and All,

When elaborating my previous post, I remenbered, from this post :

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/51385

This following regex (?-s)^(.+\R)(?=(?s).+?^\1), which, indeed, could work with a 5 Mb file ,containing more than 200,000 lines ! Much better, isn’t it ?

Seemingly, the fact that, in this regex, the group 1 corresponds to an entire line, with its line-break, whereas the (?-si)^.*,\x20(\w+),.*\R(?=(?s).+?^\1$) syntax stores, only, the ID### part, of each line, in group 1 ( which fails with a file over 82 Kb - 2,500 lines ! ) makes all the difference !! Why ?

As you said, Peter, it was a mental exercise, not specifically intended for the OP, in order to find a correct way to filter fairly large files, as I’m rather irritated by the limitations of my various regular expression attempts :-((

Cheers,

Hi,

follow below steps

select all ctrl+A
select TextFx from the top Menu
then select TextFx Characters
then select Proper Case and it will change all first letters of every line to Upper Case

Cheers,

My guess is a compiled Lua file

@astrosofista Thanks a million!

@Michael-Vincent said in TagLEET error: "access violation":

@PeterJones said in TagLEET error: "access violation":

So then I went to the sourceforge repo and saw v1.3.2 was available there.

Interesting. Sounds like the Plugin Admin links are both for the 32-bit version? Since I’ve been using a modified copy, I never noticed.

Nope. Putting the 32bit in the 64bit plugin folder, I get explicit 32-bit error
20bd68f0-ea25-436f-82d3-723fd4e68376-image.png

I tried downloading the 64bit directly from here, and got the same access violation.

I also verified nppPluginList correctly links to the 64bit zip for 1.3.1.

Sounds like it’s working for you now?

Yes, v1.3.2-64bit worked right off the bat, no problem.

I don’t find it that useful in single file projects - I just use function list,

That’s probably why it never “stuck” when I’d tried getting into ctags before.

but for developing N++ plugins or maybe a multi-file Perl module (e.g., Win32::Mechanize::NotepadPlusPlus) it’s pretty helpful.

That’s the personal project I’ll probably use it the most in. And my upcoming work project will involve a multi-file CPP program – I’ll mostly be in the IDE bundled with the hardware that the program will be running on, but when I’m at my desk, I’ll probably do “quick” edits in Notepad++, so ctags/TagLEET will probably help there, too.

@Kerry-Down

@Alan-Kilborn beat me to it!!!

Try adding the XML Tools from Plugins Admin (Plugins => Plugins Admin…).

Once installed, Plugins => XML Tools has lots of options to look at including “Check XML Syntax now”, “Validate Now” …

Cheers.

Removing config.xml fixed the issue on my work computer.

@Ricardo-E-Trelles-0 ,

If you don’t like the background, change the default background. I’ve pointed you to the setting multiple times.

@PeterJones

Thank you so much! Yes it works.
I chose to find: (<tag>.*)\(.*\)(</tag>)
And replace with: \1\2 or $1$2
Checkmark regular expressions

@Venkat-Ramani ,

You will have to re-phrase with a complete question. You appear to want to replace something with something else, but do not do a good job with explaining the before and after. Please read the boilerplate I am attaching, as it will help you understand how to better ask the question and better format the question, plus link to documentation that will help you learn how to figure this out yourself.

If you show a willingness to learn, and to help us help you, by replying in a way that shows you read and understood my recommendations below, you are likely to get good help. Otherwise, I wish you the best of luck.

----

Do you want regex search/replace help? Then please be patient and polite, show some effort, and be willing to learn; answer questions and requests for clarification that are made of you. All example text should be marked as plain text using the </> toolbar button or manual Markdown syntax; screenshots can be pasted from the clipboard to your post using Ctrl+V. Show the data you have and the text you want to get from that data; include examples of things that should match and be transformed, and things that don’t match and should be left alone; show edge cases and make sure you examples are as varied as your real data. Show the regex you already tried, and why you thought it should work; tell us what’s wrong with what you do get… Read the official NPP Searching / Regex docs and the forum’s Regular Expression FAQ. If you follow these guidelines, you’re much more likely to get helpful replies that solve your problem in the shortest number of tries.

Hello, @vivianjenylord and All,

Some explanations on this regex S/R :

The part \.\w+ searches a literal dot character, followed with a non-null range of word chars…

But ONLY IF  the condition inside the look-ahead is True. That is to say if, further on, in current line, a colon followed with a second non-null range of word chars, stored as group1 as embedded in parentheses, can be found

In replacement, we rewrite a dot, followed with the contents of group1 ( the country name )

Cheers,

@romanml71 said in Something got changed, how do I revert it:

However, not all plugins are in both places. nppcalc.dll was only in C:\ProgramFiles(x86)…

I guess this could be if some older installation was updated with a much newer version.
My understand it is that as long as Local Conf mode : OFF is set,
the configuration, plugins … will be read from %APPDATA% and in case
of Local Conf mode : ON npp is looking to the directories next to its executable.

@Douglas-Kaynor

Normally a double click in the title bar should restore it to be able to resize it.

@Carlos-Zhang said in explorer.dll. The specified module could not be found.:

Plugins > Open Plugins Folder: Nothing happened. File Manager did not open.

I also fixed this by this page:

FYI.

Hello, @김성찬 and All,

An other and easy solution is to use the Begin/End Select feature !

1 Left click at the very beginning of the first line 0000 90 9F 33 .. .. .., to move the caret to this location

2 Select the option Edit > Begin/End Select

3 Use the Ctrl + End shortcut to get the very end of your hexadecimal dump text

4 Press and hold down the ALT key and left click after the 16th hexadecimal byte of the last line

5 Select, again, the option Edit > Begin/End Select

=> After a while, needed to process 400,000 lines about, as you said, you should notice this big rectangular selection !

Voila :-))

Best Regards,

guy038

P.S. :

If you forget to hold down the ALT key, at step 4 of the method above, you, obviously, get a normal selection of all your text !
