@gurikbal-singh said in Can I "Find / Replace all" only apply to selected?:

but it works for Multi-line search and replace perfectly.

But that wasn’t the OP’s question. Please try to not give answers that are misleading.

@Michael-Vincent said in Is there any plugin can make NPP realtime-auto-indent?:

Hopefully it’s only a temporary plugin and this is fixed

Looks like the next version fixes this so my Perl Indent plugin won’t be needed.

Yay!

Thanks. Understood

the idea, maybe, is to make all Edit Options to make replacement in all files, not just in one file.

Thanks guys. Both solutions worked fine. Thank you for your help.

Thanks to your comment I found the culprit. It’s “Multi PuTTY Manager”. If I close it Ctrl+Tab in Notepad++ works as desired. By the way Multi PuTTY Manager" also blocks Ctrl+Tab in Firefox.
Thanks for helping!

The user-defined-language settings will not automatically add spaces. However, you could search for \x20*=\x20* and replace with \x20=\x20 in regular expression mode. That will change any number of spaces (including zero) followed by = followed by any number of spaces (including zero) with exactly one space, exactly one equal, and exactly one space.

Yes – well, depending on what you mean by “on demand”. If my explanation doesn’t fully solve your problem, you will have to describe it better.

In your Notepad++ installation folder (often c:\program files\Notepad++) there will be an autoCompletion folder with a bunch of XML files, one per language¹. You can add new auto-completion terms to that file². If you have a UDL³ that you’d like to have auto-completion for, you can create a new XML file in that folder that will hold the auto-completion definitions.

see docs: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/auto-completion/#create-auto-completion-definition-files Notepad++ tends to save configuration files as it exits if you’ve made any changes in the GUI. Thus, when manually editing this or any config file using Notepad++, follow the sequence: close all instances of Notepad++; open one single instance; edit the file; save; exit Notepad++; re-open. At this point, the changed settings should be in effect. user defined language: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/user-defined-language-system/

thanks

@PeterJones If it is attached with instructions send questions here. This will help you understand the question, and support it correctly. Perhaps I have not found this post yet.

If sodapdf.com is doing the conversion from .txt to .pdf, why do you think it’s a Notepad++ problem?

If you can show that sodapdf.com works with a .txt file with more than 80 characters on a line that was created in some other application, but does not work with a .txt file with more than 80 characters on a line that was created in Notepad++, then we might be able to give some ideas. But if the same thing happens no matter what creates the >80-character text line, then you might want to ask the folks at sodapdf.

It seems like you could run your bookmarking operation, then do a “Inverse Bookmark” command, and then run the script @Ekopalypse provided…to get what you want?

Yes, that’s a good idea! I did just that, and it hid everything I didn’t need to edit. Thank you.

24000 things to examine and edit is a huge manual task.

I don’t thing it’s something that can be automated though. The issue is that I have all the download links in one database (which I’m editing through Notepad++), and the files are stored on a seperate server. The task I am currently processing, is to randomize all filenames:

https://www.example.com/74547854787fileone.zip https://www.example.com/56647979548filetwo.zip https://www.example.com/01324679462filethree.zip https://www.example.com/64647452105filefour.zip

So not only do I need to complete the task of randomizing the filenames (A task I’m achieving using Bulk Rename Utility), I have to then ensure the download links are changed to represent the relevant filename.

Thanks to both, @Ekopalypse and @guy038 :) :) :)

Both codes worked like a charm.

For anyone interested in these codes, @Ekopalypse 's code finds every space-separated pair of words starting with a capital letter , and @guy038 's code finds every space between words starting with a capital letter. Both were good for what I needed to do!

I also tried with other themes and same problem. Wrong colors.

Hello @guy038,

Thank you for the detailed breakdown of the problem. There is a lot of useful knowledge here. I especially appreciate you pointing out the subtleties brought upon the look-arounds by their atomic structure.

Best,
Ray

@Alan-Kilborn

At the end it depends what one is doing.
If most of the time I create a new file by cutting/posting/pasting then
this might be the solution - for other tasks it might be not.

Thank you @guy038

Hi, @wessel-bogers, @peterjones and All,

@wessel-bogers, and All, when, you ask for modifications of data, with regular expresions, please, please …

Give us a fairly large amount of your  INPUT  text ( as you did,@wessel-bogers, in your previous post )

Give us, also, the expected  OUTPUT  text, from your specific  INPUT  test. That’s the  KEY  point !

Then, from the differences between these two texts, even if you cannot express simply yourself, regarding your goal, we should be able to guess your needs, most of the time ;-))

Remember : If you clearly defined the rules to process, in your  INPUT  text, half the job is already done ;-))

See you later,

Best Regards,

guy038
