sometimes I feel the same, but most IT documentation is in English, so … we have to live with it … until the Chinese take over operating system development :-) then we have to learn Mandarin :-)

@Don-Fowler

the debug-info from the ? menu would allow us to see how npp has been installed
in order to provide a more detailed info what you can try to make this work again.
Currently, I can only advise to rename config.xml and hoping you are taking the correct one.

:))))

You’re right, I installed back the older version and everything went back to normal. Thank you.

@bob-kraft

how can you search using json viewer plugin?
Afaik, json viewer shows only a tree like view of your current json file.

If a normal search is meant, you can change the styling via settings->style configurator->global styles->current line background and/or smart highlighting

I did some of that same research.

I assumed you would have. But I know that often, I just don’t come up with the right combo of keywords for google to give me the answer that I need. Sometimes it just takes another googler to find it for you – well, for me, anway. Obviously, I didn’t find it for you :-)

I was hoping you would find a solution. There have been hints at work that a project or two down the road (so probably next year), I’ll be switching from my proprietary-program-language-to-support-hardware-A which I’ve been using for the last decade to a VisualStudio/C++ -with-proprietary-libraries-to-support-hardware-B… so if VS is going to be giving RunAsAdmin difficulties, I was going to want someone else to have blazed the trail to a solution for me. :-)

I don’t want to scroll down too long either

An often overlooked N++ command is Begin/End Select on the Edit menu. Find where you want your eventual selection to start and run that command. Then find where you want the future selection to stop (maybe use a Find action for this…or big scrollbar drag…or whatever…) and invoke the command again. Blammo, you now have a big marked selection.

Thanks all for the comments. Yes, adding those four lines to stylers.xml worked perfectly.

I’m glad it will be fixed in the next release. I knew the issue must have already been picked up by someone.

Only -nosession helps.
…
I just deleted AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\session.xml and it seems problem is solved.

Glad it works for you now. (My guess is that you had either a file that no longer exists, or a file that does exist, but on a network drive rather than a local drive… By ignoring or deleting the old session, it stopped trying to access that file, and was able to properly load Notepad++.)

I got it.
Find my requested string:
^([A-Z])\w+\s+([A-Z])\w+,

Replace with:
\n$0

Making sure match case is set.
This separates everything out so that it looks like this:
Bethys Grimlaw, a capable trapper. Has wild blue
eyes, straight blond hair, a plain face, and a lean
build. Described as sympathetic though dull.
Spouse: Senn. 1 child

Laval Heldsheath, a talented herder. Has large
blue eyes, wavy red hair, a smooth face, and a
stocky build. Described as adventurous though
stubborn. Spouse: Mirri. 2 children

Jakov Buckhorn, a talented trapper. Has close-set
brown eyes, dry brown hair, a sculpted face, and a
willowy build. Characterized as insecure and
critical. Spouse: Arveera.

Gothar Longborn, a competent farmer. Has
knowing blue eyes, brittle auburn hair, a
blemished face, and a sinewy build. Said to be
gentle though coy. Spouse: Shatha. 1 child

Eliminates the issue with lines with no children.

Do a find\replace of “\r\n” replacing with nothing, changing to extended search mode.
This made 2500 lines how I needed it out of a document that was originally 9,982 lines long.

@dinkumoil

oooops, my apologies, i just wrote this from top to bottom, after already having done those settings.
thanks for the correction before anything happens.

upsi, klaro … ich sollte besser mitschreiben während ich was einstelle, statt danach aus dem gedächtnis.
sorry, für meinen senf. war gut gemeint, bringt aber natürlich nichts, wenn dadurch das eol format nicht mitgespeichert wird.
danke für’s ausbessern, bevor was passiert.

@Mike-Mitchell

Well…let’s see how it goes on your data…

Looks interesting, thank You. I
decided to use AutoHotkey as a workaround. I can ascribe a keyboard shortcut for it to insert the current date and time. Interestingly, it acts similarly to the TextFX - i.e. it obeys a user’s OS language. So instead of using native syntax to display a month’s name - I’ve used this:

formattime, monthvar, , MM if (monthvar=01) (cmonth:="January") if (monthvar=02) (cmonth:="February")

…and so on. And then, if I want to insert the current month’s name:

send ...some nice %cmonth%
