@Daniel-Hall So what did you do that it stopped working? Updated Npp? Updated windows? Installed some other app? What npp version are you running? (Can be seen as debug-info from ? menu)

I found the Advanced Fin and Replace program. However, I was hoping that a brilliant notepad ++ can do that too. I would have one program less on my list;) Thank you for your help.

@PeterJones My preference would be for the Close All to be executed only when a new session is loaded, and then only optionally (either by a setting or a prompt). I think, for now I’ll just try to remind them at the beginning of each class to Close All before loading the new session. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi @guy038 Thanks alot!!! It worked…😊🍻

Themes is something that doesn’t really work well in Npp, since, at first, it was only designed to “theme” the document, and later it was, more or less, adapted to the rest of the ui. Glitches like the one you mentioned are therefore unfortunately part of the problem.

You’re the best guy038! Thank you so much Take care

Just like making a live cow out of a sausage

@guy038 said in How to delete a complete tag with specific content: (?s)<Report>(?:(?!</Report>).)<Active>0000000000</Active>.?</Report> Thank you. It works for me in a similar case.

@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, guy038

@Chris-Betts If, for example, I define ( and ) as operators I do get the following [image: 1591730256429-6aa6ec65-567c-49bf-8d9f-8e74de8492eb-image.png] 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.

@Cricket said in Notepad++ Text Creation Question: 😍😍😍 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: [image: 1591635176456-9c2b4650-48bc-41b7-bf34-2fb2df9da854-image.png] Cheers.

@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.
