I think this qualifies for this response.

I probably should have mentioned what has disappointed people in the past: The styling you do with this won’t be remembered by Notepad++ if you exit and restart it. It doesn’t bother me all that much; perhaps that’s why I didn’t think to mention it in my first reply.

This isn’t an HTML forum, so you’ve probably asked in the wrong place.

Best guess: after saving the file in Notepad++, you need to reload in your browser (if your browser is pointed at the local file, with a file:// URL), or you forgot to upload to your file to your server (if your browser is pointed at an https:// URL).

If you really believe the problem lies with Notepad++, and not with the browser refresh or having to upload the file, then you are going to have to explain why you think it’s Notepad++ that’s going wrong, and give us more info.

(Please see the two FAQ answers linked above… they provide details as to why you’ve asked in the wrong place, and what kinds of information are useful when you are asking us for help.)

Hi, @scott-sumner, and All,

Like you, Scott, I rarely use the Wrap around option, because, either :

I’m preparing a reply on this forum, and I add the text of the OP, which is to be changed with a regex, at the end of my text, for testing and debugging

I’m working on a personal or test file and, to my mind, it doesn’t take more time to perform a Ctrl + Home operation than ticking the Wrap around option, anyway !

Regarding the Wrap around option, maybe adding a visual sign, for instance ↻, would improve its meaning :-)

What does your Run command look like? If it starts with, say cmd /c and then other stuff to do your thing, then perhaps a simple change to cmd /k will work.

Another option would be to keep the .log file open in Notepad++ and then when there is a change to it Notepad++ will pop up asking you if you want to reload it…doing so and switching to it will show you your errors.

This is kind of a big topic and it really depends upon what you truly want to achieve. You can change your command into calling a batch file and do the logic in that, or you could use the NppExec plugin and its facilities…the list of possibilities goes on and on…

Scott has pretty much covered it, but if you’re dying for something to read here’s a link to the wiki article for macros. Disclaimer: that article is almost a decade old. It’s probably still perfectly valid, but always take the wiki articles with a grain of salt since the maintenance of the wiki proved to be too much overhead for the project. There are a few other resources you can use to find information, but Scott’s google search method is going to get you most of what you’ll need.

I’ll throw in one “new guy” plugin suggestion: NppMenuSearch will help you find a menu item, plug in command, or setting. It’s no replacement for browsing around and seeing what’s available, but it sure helps when you can’t remember where the heck you saw the thing you’re looking for.

Good luck and welcome to NPP.

… I can…“Open with notepad++” no matter the extension.

Amen–it’s what I do as well. I’ve never really understood file extension association with something like Notepad++, so I don’t understand what all the usual hullabaloo is about (all the questions on this Community concerning it). Sure, I understand file associations for something like .xlsx where it is ALWAYS going to be Excel that opens those files…but Notepad++ has no such equivalent. .txt comes closest I guess, but still…

Current releases of the mentioned script plugins:

Thanks for your Help it work
Thanks again for your support

Yes, Scott’s way is easier. (That’s probably how I originally created the charmap entry, and had just forgotten.)

@guy038
Mister guy038, my sincere thanks for your help, the code helped me a lot, went out to perfection

@Mouaffaq-Al-Baghdadi:

A way to do it would be to copy all of your original data into a new tab, and then act on that tab with the following (as the suggestion will be a destructive replacement).

Step 1: Add a line at the top of the is new tab, containing 2222 only and then press Enter to add a line-ending to this line

Step 2: Add a line at the bottom of the is new tab, containing 1111 only and then press Enter to add a line-ending to this line

Step 3: Perform this Replacement action:

Invoke the Replace dialog (default key: ctrl+h)
Find what zone: ^2222\R(?s).*?^1111\R
Replace with zone: make sure this is EMPTY
Wrap around checkbox: ticked
Search mode selection: Regular expression
Action: Press Replace All button
