Ah ok no worries, I’ll just dive into getting the PostProcess right then.
Also, it doesn’t have to be precise for the machine, it’s for the guy that’s checking the program before it gets sent (me). I’m a bit… odd at times and keep tinkering with stuff untill I get it to work the way I want it to, or make it work to the best of capabilities; either mechanical or mental.
This instance it’s for an older Fanuc 0m that needs the toolcall and toolchange on different lines, with 32K (yes K) memory, so nothing super exciting happening, it’s just that I see a challenge when my expectations meet reality, and in this case I needed a bit of a help.
Thanks!

You could do something like this using one of the scripting languages, e.g. Pythonscript. You’d add a notification callback for the “character added” event, and then substitute whatever you want for the original character. Maybe some other ways to accomplish it as well.

Hi, @tarik, @scott-sumner, @terry-r and All,

Thanks, Scott, for your additionnal information. Look like I was a bit tired to develop ;-))

Of course, as Scott mentioned, your can, either, perform a sensitive to case OR a insensitive to case search, with the respective generic regexes :

(?s-i)(?:.*?(X)){N}.*?\K\1 ( Sensitive )

(?si)(?:.*?(X)){N}.*?\K\1 ( Insensitive )

Cheers,

++@dinkumoil: that’s a great solution, if you never use the “Search on Internet”, and only want one selected-text-to-website command.

@vincity-taymodaimo, If you want to be able to have more than one, you can add it (or them) to the Run menu by the following instructions:

[assumes a normal installation of Notepad++]:

Save all files and close all instances of Notepad++

Open one instance of Notepad++. Don’t open any other instances while executing the following steps, unless directed by these steps

Open %AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml

Go down to the <UserDefinedCommands> section; there should be entries like launch in Firefox or wikipedia search or similar

add a line similar to the following

<Command name="Translate DE to EN" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">https://www.deepl.com/translator#de/en/$(CURRENT_WORD)</Command> you could add a keyboard shortcut here, if you know the KEYCODE for the given key; but I find it easier to follow the final step, below if you have other commands, do them similarly

Save %AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml, close the file, then close Notepad++

Open Notepad++

The Run menu should contain Translate DE to EN. Highlight a German word in Notepad++; Run > Translate DE to EN. Your default browser should open a window or tab with the translation.

If you want to assign a keyboard shortcut,

go to Run > Modify shortcut/delete command (or Settings > Shortcut Mapper > Run Commands), select Translate DE to EN Modify Select your desired shortcut Ok Close

@Gregory-Mompezat
thanks for upvotes. I’m glad it worked without issues. I’m sad because I spent some minutes writing some of the text from the image, copying it and duplicating, then changing some of the text, when I didn’t see the “pastebin” link below.

use GrepWin or TextCrawler for multiple search and replace in million of files all at once :)

@Scott-Sumner
Yep, “Shift+Ctrl+Arrow”.
Your advice helped.

@twentyTwo

when an unsaved tab is closed in notepad++, it is deleted

Yes, that’s the idea. If you close an unnamed tab (e.g. “new 1”, “new 5”, “new 23”) without saving it to a hard-named file first, it and its data are discarded.

Does File > Save As and name = file.asc not work for you?

If not:

you might want to check to see if you’re hiding extensions in Windows → that “feature” of windows can lie to you (Windows Explorer > View > Options > Change Folder and search options > View = uncheck ☐ Hide extensions for known file types) change the Filter entry in the Save or SaveAs dialog to “all files (.)” or equivalent might want to toggle Settings > Preferences > Default Directory > ☑ Use new style dialog on or off → that setting can change how the Save, Save As, and Open dialogs display behaves, especially for the file filters, and you might be expecting the opposite behavior

Otherwise, you’ll have to say specifically what you’ve tried (including which settings you have), and how you know it’s not working right for you.

@Scott-Sumner,

That’s easy: from the URL.

@sani-bani

Try this:

Invoke Replace dialog (default key: ctrl+h)
Find what zone: (?-s)^(.+)\R(.+)(?:\R|\z)
Replace with zone: \1:\2
Wrap around checkbox: ticked or unticked, as you like
Search mode selection: Regular expression
Action: Press Replace or Replace All button, as you like

Here’s how it works:

THE FIND EXPRESSION:

(?-s)^(.+)\R(.+)(?:\R|\z)

[Use these options for the whole regular expression][1 ] (?-s) [(hyphen inverts the meaning of the letters that follow)][1 ] - [Dot doesn’t match line breaks][1 ] s [Assert position at the beginning of a line (at beginning of the string or after a line break character) (carriage return and line feed, form feed)][2 ] ^ [Match the regex below and capture its match into backreference number 1][3 ] (.+) [Match any single character that is NOT a line break character (line feed, carriage return, form feed)][4 ] .+ [Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy)][5 ] + [Match a line break (carriage return and line feed pair, sole line feed, sole carriage return, vertical tab, form feed)][6 ] \R [Match the regex below and capture its match into backreference number 2][3 ] (.+) [Match any single character that is NOT a line break character (line feed, carriage return, form feed)][4 ] .+ [Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy)][5 ] + [Match the regular expression below][3 ] (?:\R|\z) [Match this alternative (attempting the next alternative only if this one fails)][7 ] \R [Match a line break (carriage return and line feed pair, sole line feed, sole carriage return, vertical tab, form feed)][6 ] \R [Or match this alternative (the entire group fails if this one fails to match)][7 ] \z [Assert position at the very end of the string][8 ] \z THE REPLACE EXPRESSION:

\1:\2

[Insert the text that was last matched by capturing group number 1][9 ] \1 [Insert a colon][10 ] : [Insert the text that was last matched by capturing group number 2][9 ] \2

Don’t forget these directories… that’s where you will want to look for the files in the future.

AND…most importantly, although I’m 99% sure this advice will be ignored, these are the directories you create independent backup sets from.
