Hello, @gabor-szakacs, @scott-sumner, and All,

Indeed, Scott, I thought about capturing \R ! But, as my regex have two alternatives, when it matches \h+\R, the group 2 ( = \R ), in the first alternative does not exist. Thus, I need to capture \R in the second alternative, too ( group 3 )

So :

SEARCH (\h*(\R)){3,}|\h+(\R)

REPLACE (?1\2\2:\3)

And, of course, the conditional replacement rewrites :

Two line-breaks \2\2, if the first alternative is found

One line-break \3, if the second alternative is found

However, to my mind, this second syntax does not look as elegant as my previous one ;-))

Cheers,

guy038

BTW, my previous regex S/R may be slightly shortened as :

SEARCH (\h*\R){3,}|\h+\R

REPLACE \r\n?1\r\n ( or \n?1\n on UNIX files )

I just found a plugin that I assume enhances the Monitor function to always update every 3 seconds. Hope this fixes it (if this plugin works that does not mean the issue is resolved)

Or maybe see this FAQ which will not solve your issue and likely will make you sad…

@УменяМодем-ОграниченныйТрафик

can you replicate this? If so, can you post some sample text?

Cheers
Claudia

it works ….thank you so much…

@Pete-Wright

creating an UDL lexer for HTML, PHP, CSS and JavaScript is nearly impossible
as you can’t specify when a new lexer needs to jump in.

The lexer can be modified to support another lexer as seen
in the code itself.

I have no idea how complicated, in terms of lexing, css is, but in theory we could
use python script plugin and indicators to do this.

Cheers
Claudia

@dreamforceinc

yes, but then you won’t have the rectangular anymore.
You need to call it like SCI_INDICSETSTYLE(29, 17)
17 = TEXTFORE
and 29 you already know :-)

Btw. this is the only way, I guess to use an bultin lexer and add additional syntax coloring.

Cheers

Typing help npp_save

in the NppExec Console says:

COMMAND: npp_save USAGE: npp_save npp_save <file> DESCRIPTION: 1. Saves current file ("npp_save" without parameters) 2. Saves specified file if it's opened in Notepad++ (supports a partial file path/name) EXAMPLES: npp_save // saves current file npp_save $(#2) // saves 2nd file opened in Notepad++ npp_save txt // saves a first file which contains "txt" in its name SEE ALSO: npp_saveas, npp_saveall, npp_open Typing help cd

in the NppExec Console says:

COMMAND: cd USAGE: cd cd <relative_path> cd <absolute_path> DESCRIPTION: 1. Changes current directory ("cd" with parameters) 2. Shows current directory path ("cd" without parameters) EXAMPLES: cd // shows current directory path cd .. // go to up-directory cd \ // go to root-directory cd $(NPP_DIRECTORY) // go to notepad++'s directory cd e:\temp // change drive and directory SEE ALSO: dir Typing help npp_run

in the NppExec Console says:

COMMAND: npp_run USAGE: npp_run <command> npp_run <file> DESCRIPTION: 1. The same as Notepad++'s Run command - runs an external process 2. Opens specified file in its associated program (requires NppExec v0.2 RC3.1 or higher) EXAMPLES: npp_run calc.exe (*) * if you type just "calc.exe" without "npp_run", then NppExec runs "calc.exe" as a child process and waits until it returns (i.e. until you close the calc's window) npp_run "index.html" // opens "index.html" in your default web-browser npp_run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "index.html" // in Firefox npp_run "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" // opening using the associated program REMARKS: In terms of an application (a program), NPP_RUN allows to run it in its own window without waiting for its execution: npp_run application.exe npp_run application.exe <arguments> If, however, there is a need to wait until the application has been executed, while still running it in its own window, it can be achieved without NPP_RUN: cmd /c start /wait application.exe cmd /c start /wait application.exe <arguments> In this last case, NppExec waits for cmd to be executed, while cmd itself starts the application in its own separate window and waits until it has been executed. Type just help

in the NppExec Console to see all the available environment variables and commands.

Actually, my question was about Call Tips - and once I found out what I was supposed to asking, my own error was also obvious… sorry

Thank you , the ( search works

Thanks!!! It’s working.

Fantastic,

Yeah, there is a bug in the 64-bit version of Notepad++ v7.5.6. I downloaded and installed v7.5.5, and it works just perfect.

Not only that, it copied the settings from my 32-bit version.

Thanks for all of your help, Claudia.

Problem solved.

@Brent-Kulseth

if it complains about it then there is a good chance that the user (operating system account)
which started notepad++ has no sufficient rights to the directory you want to write to.

In such a case there are two ways to solve it.

start npp with an user which has more privileges (aka run as administrator) change the permissions on the folder (BUT DO THIS ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO - otherwise you might corrupt your system)

If you tell us which file should be save under which directory (full path) then we could,
maybe, offer additional information how this may be solved.

Cheers
Claudia
