welcome to the notepad++ community, @Skrol29

Wouldn’t be a nice feature for the update server to return a dedicated message ? Like :
« Your version need a manual update. »
or
« Notepad++ 7.6.4 available. The automatic update has a problem. Wait few days or do a manual update. »

yes and no.

« Your version need a manual update. »:
this might confuse non power users, probably leading them to believe, that there is something wrong at their current setup or current notepad++ version, requiring a manual repair.

« Notepad++ 7.6.4 available. The automatic update has a problem. Wait few days or do a manual update. »:
this contains the word “problem”, probably leading them to believe, that there is something wrong with the update servers, or worst case, a problem at their current installation, eventually leading them to conduct unnecessary “fixing” steps.

i agree with the developer’s current choice, to omit any further explanation at the updater, as soon as a reason is found to delay or suspend an update.
all technical information about any delay can be found here, if interested admins or power users like you, discover a newer release, and want to know more about it, or why it is currently suspended as an automatic update.

please keep in mind that there are millions of regular notepad++ users all around the world, and dealing with an elevated amount of repeated supportive questions, triggered by a potentially misleading updater message, will be very difficult for the solely volunteering community members and the volunteering developers.

Maybe this is of some interest: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/5434

your computer “b” most probably has notepad++ 7.6. or higher installed, while computers “a” and “c” have notepad++ 7.5.9 or below.

unfortunately autodetect character encoding is broken since notepad++ version 7.6. and above.

currently it is necessary to:

go to settings > preferences > misc and disable auto detect character encoding on your computer “b”, as seen at the screenshot below.

settings - auto detect character encoding

then go to settings > preferences > new document and set your preferred default encoding to e.g utf-8, as seen at the screenshot below.

after that repeat your testing, it will work on computer “b” now.

note: a solving regression rollback fix for that issue has been committed and pushed to the pull requests, but it has currently been suspended by @donho as the issue is being inspected, to evaluate if a fix is possible, instead of a rollback.

paste it into excel in one column

Are you having an issue with doing that? I just tested now with lines that contain a , (comma) and " (quotes) thinking that might affect insert into Excel, but it still worked, putting each line into cells in one column.

So in the NPP tab, Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-C and in excel select 1 cell and Ctrl-V.

how can i run the code that i wrote in Notepad++?

close notepad++. put on your sport sneakers. open your door. step outside. close your door. (important note: don’t forget the keys before executing this step) start running.

alternative:
you can give us more information of what code you are writing, and in what language you are writing it. (note: please refer to your required computing language, not to your native language)

@Dylan-Shekter

I would if I could, …

The example code doesn’t have to be the exact source code. A snippet with renamed functions (and empty function body) with which we (that includes you) can reproduce the issue.

I don’t get why you wouldn’t just say “It’s been noticed already”

Because I didn’t (and still don’t) understand the exact problem based on your description. That’s why I opted to post more info (points 1 & 2). Furthermore, you could have come to this conclusion yourself/earlier had you executed point 3, 4 or 5.

@Joanna-Szpakowska

i can, unfortunately, not reproduce what you are experiencing.

i have tested your resolution 2560x1440, as seen at the screenshot below, as well as all higher resolutions up to 5k (5120 × 2880).
all resolutions work fine and as expected.

for further testing, could you please:

download this specific notepad++ 7.6.4. portable version from >>> here <<<.
(this portable version will not interfere with your installed notepad++ version and does not require any installation) extract npp.7.6.4.bin.x64.zip to your desktop. open the extracted npp.7.6.4.bin.x64 folder. start this portable version by double clicking on notepad++.exe inside this folder.
(note: notepad++.exe will just be called notepad++, if you have enabled to hide all known file extensions at your explorer settings)

does the portable version give you the same results as your installed version, or does it differ ?

if this portable version behaves the same on your machine, you could try to set the windows scaling to 100%, as seen at the screenshot above, to try if it makes any difference, and/or change your resolution temporarily to 1920x1080 for testing.

if it does not make any difference, the next thing would be to look whether an updated driver is available for your graphics card.

note: your experience might not be directly related to notepad++ itself, but to some lesser commonly known issue on your specific machine.

I am editing the file which is in dropbox directly. Not on my local drive.

One more note here concerning dropbox: The file IS on your local drive. It is just that dropbox is “watching” that local drive location and is updating its “cloud copy” as your local copy changes.

Can you provide some examples of the data and also the search patterns used. As these posts are interpreted and can be altered please read our FAQ section especially the one titled request for help without sufficient information.
When performing the search are you selecting search mode “regular expression” or “normal mode”. This is important as you appear to be using characters which have a special meaning.

welcome to the notepad++ community, @elenderg

udl should be able to handle ãáàóõôçéêíúü as part of a keyword, as well as a keyword with only these characters, as seen at the screenshot below.

Imgur

tested on notepad++ 7.6.4, udl 2.1.0.12.

thanks,
this solves my problem and the file now loads correctly

Maybe a task for NppExec but maybe more likely this is, well, this.

@Михаил-Медведев
Вам придется переключаться между разными синтаксисами, одновременной подсветки для разных языков в одном файле не работает.

Hello, @v-s-rawat,

Could your verify that, when your text has a strange behaviour, if it contains some invisible Unicode format characters ?

Open the Mark dialog ( Search > Mark... )

SEARCH [\x{200B}-\x{200F}\x{202B}-\x{202F}\x{206A}-\x{206C}]

Check the Purge for each search option

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click on the Mark All button

If your file contains such characters, a red thin cursor should appear, at any location where an invisible format character occurs, generally between two standard characters !

In that case, just wipe them out, doing a S/R, with an empty replacement zone !

Best regards,

guy038

P.S. :

I, personally, would be very, very sad to miss the column mode selection, especially, in conjunction with the excellent Dail’s plugin BetterMultiSelection ;-))

@Jim-Chestnut

an alternative solution might be to use en-/decrypting plugins like NppCrypt
