Must : Setting -> Preferences -> Multi-instance -> Default: Mono-Instance

if Multi-instance it’ll be such like that

config,xml must be assuredly saved in such setting by closing Notepad++ with click close X , not alt-F4 nor a abrupt kill on Notepad++

it works perfectly
As always, thanks very very much…

@wd40bomber7

have you seen this thread?
I would appreciate if you could share your thoughts on this with us.

@treflip said in Message users directly:

Can you message someone directly?

I don’t think so.

I saw a question about a jinja language but it was locked and I wanted to know if they ended up making one.

What you can do is create a new thread/topic.
Put a link to the old one in the new one.
Use the @user syntax to reference the original poster. Like if their name is FelixTheCat you would put @FelixTheCat somewhere in the posting.
If/when they log in again, the should get a notification and be able to find your thread quickly.

I think that’s the best you can do/hope-for.

@Alan-Kilborn said in [What is a selection of the "blank" font

Perhaps this whole thread is pointless because I didn’t check the real documentation before asking. :-)

Maybe but I have no idea whether this is documented at all :-D

mille grazie! <3

The explorer plugin and the favorites sidebar have proved to be very useful, thanks to both of you.

@Alan-Kilborn

fresh version = portable, downloaded from npp without any modifications and additional plugins
regular version = my portable version - highly customized and with additional plugins

Test was done with npp 7.8.6 (fresh) and 7.8.5 (regular).

Notepad++ is a text editor and doesn’t handle binary data well.
In your case your real problem will be how to find a program which reads
mp3 and ogg in the same time and plays its content.
What comes into my mind first is using something like cubase with a mixing console.

@arslan-arshad

What version of Notepad++ are you using when this happened?

@PeterJones That’s it! after pressing repeatedly on that button I finally obtained my vertical red lines! I thank all of you.

@PeterJones YOU ARE AWESOME - THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

@Frank-Erlich

Strictly speaking, by asking a lawyer whether the information/license provided by the author is compliant with your local laws.

Settings->Preferences->Auto-Completion and uncheck Function parameters hint on input

Oh, damn it, I didn’t even suspect it might simply be a font problem.

Maybe because of my messy latin1 database import problem, in which it wasn’t a font issue. I feel silly now.

Well, I’m off to experimenting with other fonts now.

But… a pity, really, there’s no better than Inconsolata, in my biased eyes.

Thank you Alan!

I use Notepad++ v7.8.5 on Ubuntu 18.04. I run Ubuntu and Windows in dual boot mode.

I was not able to open text files in Windows (automatically mounted onto Ubuntu as /dev/sda3). Below is what I found to be useful.

Open UbuntuSoftware > Find Notepad-Plus-Plus (WINE) > Click on it > Click on Permissions > Find “Read/Write files on removable storage devices” > turn it ON.

@guy038 said in XML Split:

gawk -F\x22 “/game name/ { n= $2 } ; { print > n”.xml" }"

Mate. Just wanted to say. Top man. Thank you so much for A) taking the time to reply with a constructive and very helpful reply. and B) you learn something new every day and C) what you suggested worked like a dream. Had one issue as one of the name had a / in it. No dram worked around it.

Thank you so much

@PeterJones said in Add line of text to beginning of multiple files:

inserting 6 lines at the beginning of 300 files has started down the slippery slope out of the realm of pure text-editor

Agreed. Maybe that’s why I said it’s an “OK” task for Notepad++ and not “a great” task. :-)

why create an object with the init, rather than just have a T11987() function instead?

It’s just my new framework for scripts (I copy from some boilerplate when I make a new script). Obviously in this case it is fairly trivial, but in scripts that use callbacks a object-based approach has bigger benefits. I picked up on this by observing how @Ekopalypse does some of the more complicated scripts he’s presented. BTW, I picked up on using the topic/posting id in the name of a script/function/class from YOU. :-)

@Michael-Vincent

Thank you for chiming in and providing a more detailed guidance for using my script!

@Lowell-Justice

As an addition to what @Michael-Vincent already said: To compile and execute C code you need a C compiler, of course. For simple and quick C test programs I use the Tiny C Compiler (TCC). Its homepage provides a link to the available downloads.

For C++ you could use for example MinGW, the GCC port for Windows, you can download it from here. To get the latest version take the files mingw-w32-bin-i686-YYYYMMDD.7z for compiling 32 bit programs and mingw-w64-bin-x86_64-YYYYMMDD.7z for compiling 64 bit programs where YYYYMMDD is a placeholder for the release date of the version.

To get documentation for GCC visit this site. There you will also find a link to the documentation of the GCC v9.3 command line options.

@dinkumoil how could I make a script like this for c++?
