LOL :-D

find what :items=".*" replace with :items=“0,0,0” mode : regular expression

@Magnum-Opus Your search term *\\EngramEntry_ doesn’t work because you used the quantifier * without a preceeding character to define the character(s) the quantifier should operate on. Because you want to match any characters before \EngramEntry_ you have to insert . which means an arbitrary character. This results in the search term: .*\\EngramEntry_. BUT your replacement string OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_ isn’t error-free as well. You need to escape the ( character because it’s a meta character in regular expressions. Thus your replacement string should be: OverrideNamedEngramEntries=\(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_ If you would like to read a really good regular expression manual visit this site. At some points in the manual you have to know the exact flavour of regular expressions used at your site. Notepad++ uses the boost lib regex flavour.

@James-Dunn said in spaces tabs: Space to Tab (leading) took care almost all of them. Space to tab (all) works as well. If it works then it must be that you have a setting of 3 spaces for each tab in your Preferences.

Oops, embedded special characters (e.g $) would need to be “escaped” in the search expression; example \$. Note: NOT needed or desired in the “replace” part. Sorry for the omission.

There are so many things wrong with this… This is a forum about Notepad++, which is not the same thing as Windows notepad.exe. Your script is referencing the Microsoft product, not the open-source Notepad++ project that this forum is dedicated to. You seem to be asking how to code something. This is not a coding forum. You seem to be asking how to make a email attachment that automatically runs on someone else’s computer without their desire to have it run, and to have it do malicious or at least rude things. DON’T DO THIS This is tantamount to creating malware / virus / trojan / worm / etc. No, we are not going to help you “improve” this script to make malicious software.

@Ekopalypse said in new site rss?: thought you were talking about this community/forum site If you read back through the conversation, I thought the same thing. It wasn’t until @patrickdrd 's penultimate post that I realized he meant the main site. :-)

@Alan-Kilborn Great, thank you very very much :)

@Zsolt-Kántor said in There is no other way to associate files from NP++ Preferences only if you start the app with Admin rights?: I hope it will in the future version. Well, it doesn’t look good as (a) that pull request is from 2018 and (b) it is a closed pull request.

I don’t know but I don’t think so. You can file a feature request here if you like: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues BR

@Meta-Chuh said in Notepad++ 7.6 autoupdate disable: change the nextUpdateDate value in config.xml to the next millennium. nextUpdateDate=“30000101” for example Thanks for the workaround! It worked for me 🙂

@PeterJones Again many thanks for your effort and patience. I will try to work out your line of thought, but that will not be today, perhaps not even tomorrow. Busy as hell and in the mean time I work as I have done two years or so, which is rather a nuisance. But again I appreciate your helpful thinking. I will be back as soon as I can. Cheers.

DSpellCheck is at v1.4.13, and I haven’t got jN installed, so I checked the other one. MenuSearch is the culprit. When I close NP, it disappears from the process tree as well. Sorted :)

Thank you @gurikbal-singh . The information you provided matches few conditions.

@PeterJones Heheh…Peter holds people hostage to some decoding effort…hehehe. Wish I’d thought of that technique. It’s got snarky me written all over it. LOL In other words, Nice one Peter!

Now it works like a charm. Thank you again!

@Akshay-Khatavkar said : I want to get certain columns from the file and convert it to csv file format You could do it with code. Or you could use Notepad++'s column-select mode (*) to grab a column and paste it into your favorite spreadsheet app. *: Edit > Column Mode… shows you how: [image: 1569688831632-e0a84169-ecc7-41f2-947e-365178020c69-image.png]

@The-Rain said in Advanced Visual Theme: Is it possible to apply a visual design like this for Notepad ++? Why? No. You cannot affect the styling of the GUI itself in that manner. You can affect the text and background colors, so you can make light text on dark background: there are plenty of builtin “dark” themes that ship with Notepad++, or you can design your own theme to your liking. There is documentation on themes and the Preferences > Style Configurator dialog.
