IMO that isn’t a great solution either because, when you repeat the operation, without first moving the caret manually, you should again end up where you start. And in the case of your NppExec script, and the OP’s original text, that doesn’t happen when you start with your insert caret just to the left of ((not.

OMG!! it worked… thank you so so much ☻

@Dandello2000

So there is one extension you want to skip; but how many different ones are there to include? If a small number, the obvious solution is to exclude the one you don’t want by including all those you do want.

@Alan-Kilborn

yes.
as far as i have seen, the numbering was introduced before the search filter was added, to allow supporters to say e.g. “go to line 143”.

you are correct, the numbering is still generated at the time of displaying, and not taken from a table, created once, when shortcut mapper is initialised.

The devil is in the details. We, the users, want our bookmarks to be remembered. But what is bookmark?

Is it line number?
Is it line text?
What should happen when file is modified externally?
If I put a bookmark on line 100 and adds 10 lines at the beginning of file, bookmark will jump to 110. Now, when I close the file without saving it, what should be remembered? There could has been 1000 different edits that added and removed random lines.
What if the bookmark was placed on a line that was never saved?

For IDEs that are workspace oriented things are (a bit) easier because bookmarks can be saved as part of the workspace meta files. Notepad++ is not workspace oriented.

Having bookmarks saved as part of the session is a reasonable compromise. I don’t think that core Notepad++ should go beyond that. Find someone to implement Long-Term-Bbookmark-Storage plugin.

Hi Guy,

I found time to have a go - and totally screwed it up! On a few test files only thank goodness. Second attempt worked perfectly. I have since applied the solution to all my php files and uploaded them and, yers they do work.

Again, MANY THANKS.

I must admit to being a bit embarrassed. I had been looking thru TextFX for a menu item called “JOIN TEXT” and hadn’t found anything. But in looking, I scanned right over the phrase “UNWRAP TEXT”. <oops!>

That works perfectly.

Thanks for helping to correct an ignorant user.

I gotta say that I had noticed other topics in here and a lot of times there were multiple day delays before the original poster got a response. You guys have been so helpful, and responding in only hours, or sometimes minutes.

THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU!

Hi @upperking,

Oupppss ! I should have read your post more carefully ! We must take the leading numbers in account ;-))

So, change the Find and Replace zones, as below :

SEARCH (?-is)^\d+\x20(76\.247\.131\.161:\d+).+

REPLACE \1

Notes :

Beware : if the IP address is not exactly the address 76.247.131.161, nothing is then replaced

The part ^\d+\x20 represents any number, beginning a line and followed with a space character

The dot meta character . is escaped with the \ to be considered as a literal

The group 1 is the string 76.247.131.161 followed with a colon, followed with the port number, which is rewritten, during the replacement phase

Cheers,

Hi, all,

As the (?...:....) regex structure, of the Boost regex library is not so common, you may feel a bit lost about the replacement regex syntax !

So, here is, below, the algorithmic translation of the replacement regex, of my previous post :

If group 13 exists # Case hour = '12' then If group 17 exists # String 'AM' or 'am', after the digits then Write the string '00' else Rewrite the group 1 contents # Actually, the hour '12' else If group 17 exists # String 'AM' or 'am', after the digits then Rewrite the group 1 contents # The 'hour' digits, so the values '01' or '02' or ...... '11' else # The 'hour' digits, when followed with the string 'PM' or 'pm' If group 2 exists then write the string '13' # Case hour = '01' If group 3 exists then write the string '14' # Case hour = '02' If group 4 exists then write the string '15' # Case hour = '03' If group 5 exists then write the string '16' # Case hour = '04' If group 6 exists then write the string '17' # Case hour = '05' If group 7 exists then write the string '18' # Case hour = '06' If group 8 exists then write the string '19' # Case hour = '07' If group 9 exists then write the string '20' # Case hour = '08' If group 10 exists then write the string '21' # Case hour = '09' If group 11 exists then write the string '22' # Case hour = '10' If group 12 exists then write the string '23' # Case hour = '11' endif endif Write the string ':' Rewrite the group 14 # Minutes digits Write the string ':' Rewrite the group 15 # Seconds digits if group 16 exits # Milleseconds digits then write the string ':' write the group 16 contents # Milleseconds digits endif

i don’t experience this on notepad++ 7.6.6 with dspellckeck 1.4.11.0 installed from the built in plugins > plugins admin menu.

it might also be, that another plugin could cause dspellcheck to crash.

what notepad++ version and dspellcheck version do you have installed ?

ps: my debug info from the notepad++ menu: ? > debug info... > copy debug info into clipboard is:

Hello, @hced and All,

Welcome to the Notepad++ Community !

Very simply, indeed !

Open the Lua console ( Plugins > LuaScript > Show Console

Inside the bottom line, type the command :

editor.VScrollBar = false with that exact case

Either, hit the Enter key or click on the Run button

Here we are !

Best Regards,

guy038

Hi Alan and thank you for your reply!

“Are you talking about being able to move between the Find tab, the Replace tab, the Find-in-Files tab, and the Mark tab…with a keyboard combination?”

That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Too bad this isn’t possible.

Thank you anyway!

Selected HTML from the language menu which has not worked.
Selected CSS from the language menu which has worked. Success!
I was cutting & pasting code from Dreamweaver CS6.
Thank you for solving my problem people

welcome to the notepad++ community, @John-Dy-Chee-Puat

the -ro argument only works, if a file is not yet opened in a previous session.
the session has a higher priority and the read only setting of a session overrides the -ro switch.

if you want to open specific multiple files as read only, you can use the command line:
notepad++.exe -ro -nosession change.log license.txt.
note: this will disable session snapshot and periodic backup at the preferences, to try to avoid overwriting the previous session.xml.

recommended: if you usually open more or less the same bunch of files as read only, you can open those files, set them as read only, and save this as a session at file > save session for future use.
loading a saved session will set the saved read only status to the session’s state, regardless if the file is already opened in an opposite state.

best regards.
