I think maybe @gurikbal-singh is trying to ask you to provide your Debug Info.

That would be found by going to the ? menu and choosing Debug Info… and then in the resulting box clicking on the link that says “Copy debug info into clipboard”.

@PeterJones
Many thanks for this!

@guy038 said in Encoding says file is UTF8 but it's not:

UN-tick the option Apply to opened ANSI files in Settings > Preferences… > New Document > Encoding, if the UTF-8 option is ticked

This was my case. I didn’t know this option. Thank you.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks for your reply. Leaving the file open has been my workaround so far. Yes, its my go to file and I would be lost without it :-)

I will keep in mind your suggestions & tricks and will definitely come in handy.

@PeterJones My test against a few dozen open files went well. I still got problems with certain characters, but the script run fine. Thanks again.

@PeterJones said in Remove useless Language Folders:

It’s exactly what it means, and it’s exactly the opposite of what it means.

I have issued doc PR#77, which among other things, clarifies the “Make Language menu compact” so it’s understood that combing that option with disabled languages might cause there to be empty-letter menus.

@Paolo-Serpi, @Alan-Kilborn

I see. Let’s make sure that the Python plugin is correctly installed. I suppose you installed it with the Plugins > Plugins Admin... menu.

Now we are going to see if it is working properly. Please click Plugins > Python Script > Show Console. On the bottom of the console there is a text box, please type in the following code

notepad.new()

and press Run. A new document should be opened. Got it?

If it worked, check again Preferences > Editing > Multi-Editing Settings > Enable (Ctrl+Mouse click/selection).

Try once more time to run the Python script, as described in previous posts.

Other than these ones, I am running out of ideas.

Se eu definir o OEM850 como a codificação padrão, após a reinicialização 850, será mostrado, então isso está funcionando para mim.
Qual versão do Npp você está usando?
Pode ser encontrado em? menu - é chamado de informações de depuração.

If I set OEM850 as the default encoding then after restart 850 is shown, so this is working for me.
Which Npp version are you using?
Can be found from ? menu - it is called debug-info.

@Michael-Vincent

Personally I haven’t used DoxyIt in years. I wouldnt say it’s not supported, just my interest is quite lacking.

In light of recent circumstances I find myself with copious amounts of free time currently, so I will make it a point to take a look at your PR soon.

Hiii
is there anyone to help me
i have some notepad datas, i need to arrange this data into excel with the help of notepad++
i attached the source file and final files of screenshots,
please help me, i lost couple of months for doing this manually.

please help me…

[EDIT]
Screenshots deleted because they contained private data of a bunch of individuals.
@Mubashir-2018 Please anonymize your sample data.

But as @Terry-R wrote, it seems that you are changing your requirements and this is something that does not work well with regexes.

If there is a language barrier here, try using an online translator and posting in your native language and the translated English version.

What I have written here was translated with DeepL.com

@Alan-Kilborn said in How to copy strings?:

I suppose my posted script has “extensibility” going for it, as opposed to the macro solution, that to me seems difficult to extend to even single quotes.

Yes, though my regex solves OP’s problem, lack of extensibility is one of its drawbacks - Regarding this issue, for the moment I run out of ideas, but don’t give up.

Also, compared with your PS, my regex has another drawback, as it couldn’t preserve the original position of the caret. What a shame! ha ha

Have fun!

Hello, @carverof-canyons and All,

Thank you so much for your appreciation. No, I’m not a paid staff member, at all ! Just a volunteer, who loves N++ and be happy to help people when I guess a possible solution ;-))

And, anyway, I am confined at home, in France, like everywhere else, in the world. So, presently, I have plenty of time to think about some problems !

Cheers,

Hi, @kaveh-202 @alan-kilborn and All,

Let suppose, to begin with, to focus on the first 10 chars, after the string /film/

Then, from your example :

http://dl3/film/Daylights.End.3******************* http://dl4/film/The.Phenom.2016******************* http://dl45/film/The.Wild.Life.720*************** http://dl58/film/Pele.Birth.Of.A******************* http://dl4/film/Sultan.2016.720******************* http://dl3pw/film/The.Guvnor.2016******************* http://dl3.pw/film/The.Wild.Life.2******************* http://dl3.f/film/An.Almost.Perfe******************* http://dl3.ftk.pw/film/Scooby.Doo.And.******************* http://d2/film/A.Conspiracy.Of******************* http://dl45/film/Daylights.End.2*******************

With the simple regex S/R, below :

SEARCH (?-s)^.+/film/(.{10})

REPLACE \1\t$0

We get the text :

Daylights. http://dl3/film/Daylights.End.3******************* The.Phenom http://dl4/film/The.Phenom.2016******************* The.Wild.L http://dl45/film/The.Wild.Life.720*************** Pele.Birth http://dl58/film/Pele.Birth.Of.A******************* Sultan.201 http://dl4/film/Sultan.2016.720******************* The.Guvnor http://dl3pw/film/The.Guvnor.2016******************* The.Wild.L http://dl3.pw/film/The.Wild.Life.2******************* An.Almost. http://dl3.f/film/An.Almost.Perfe******************* Scooby.Doo http://dl3.ftk.pw/film/Scooby.Doo.And.******************* A.Conspira http://d2/film/A.Conspiracy.Of******************* Daylights. http://dl45/film/Daylights.End.2*******************

Then, it’s obvious that the first and last line are duplicates ( Daylights. ) , as well as lines 3 and 5 ( The.Wild.L )

Now, what do you want to do regarding lines 1 and 11 and lines 3 and 5 ?

Presently, it’s quite easy to build a regex which would delete all duplicates lines, keeping only the last one found !

Two other questions :

Do you mind if a sort process is used, which, of course, would alter the initial order of lines ?

How many duplicates lines may have a line ? Only 1 duplicate or more ?

I suggest you Long Path Tool will let you easily

delete, copy or rename long path files, you can try it

for better service.

I suggest you try Long path tool is the very good

program for easily delete, copy & rename long path

files, error, unlock solution.
Try it and solve your problem.

@Miss-Chief said in Odd Query Regarding Sessions & Preferences:

You think multiple instances would impact it?

Yes, I think it could. Each instance shares the same settings, and the instance you close LAST will write the settings.

So say you have 2 instances open, call them A and B. If you go into instance A’s settings and you turn off the tool bar, instance A’s tool bar will (obviously) not be shown but instance B will still have a tool bar.

If you then quit instance A and then quit instance B and then restart Notepad++, what you get will have a tool bar.

However, if you had quit instance B and then quit instance A and then restarted, what you get will NOT have a tool bar.

I don’t think the automatic session management stuff works the same way as a setting like the tool bar, at least a quick test didn’t show that it did, but…

I avoid this sort of multi-instance running myself, for these types of reasons.

At most I ever want/need is one additional instance, so I have a secondary portable version of Notepad++ hanging around for just such a need. I have a Run menu item set up to run this secondary instance from my main instance. Since both instances have totally different settings and sessions, I don’t have any problems. Such a setup is convenient for me, but I recognize that it isn’t necessarily convenient for everyone.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Terry’s last solution did the trick. Thanks for the elaborate explanations, I’ll learn more about regex later when I have the time, for now by doing this simple search I killed at least a thousand times of repetitive CTRL V and can smoothly proceed with my translation.
Cheers
