I got the go-ahead approval from Jan Goyvaerts, author of RegexBuddy, to post its decodings here. In return I promised to give credit where credit is due and indicate where the decodings originated. Of course, I’m not going to do this all the time, but if someone asks for an explanation of a regex that is a bit, shall we say, above and beyond…then why not, eh?

…to end with a pleasant note…

Wha? I’m always pleasant, aren’t I? :-)

do not consider that letter y is a vowel

Hahaha. I actually struggled a bit with what I should do to turn my BEFORE text into AFTER text…

Unless you can be elaborate some more I don’t know that anyone can be convinced that Notepad++ did something to your file.

@Maryvincent-Hussein

Also, if you install notepad++ using the “portable” option (at least I think that is what it is called), then most (perhaps all) your files will be somewhere within the directory where you install. Then you can simply zip up that directory and unzip it on some other computer.

I’ve been sharing my notepad++ setup with co-workers this way for some time now. They get all my plug-ins, various XML configuration files, user-defined languages etc. as if they were part of notepad++.

Fixed! the texts is in windows.old/users/appdata/roaming/notepad++/backup just copy backup folder inside the actual place.

@Henri-Monnier

Short of modifying the lexer or creating a user-defined language, there are a couple of small changes you can make to the way a language is highlighted.

First, you can add new “words” of various kinds to be highlighted by editing the stylers.xml file.

Second, you can use the menu option Settings–>Style Configurator to change the appearance of various language features.

Got it, thanks.

Sorry for that. Would you please help in this case

Thanks a lot.

It works with a little change(REPLACE: $0(HELLO WORLD\r\n) ) in my file.

@Scott-Sumner

got one more ;-)

Thanks for the correction guy038. It was late at night, and I didn’t test my answer before presenting it. Funny enough I had thought of capturing the \h and re-using it but I never presented that in my solution.

Hello @sunil-kumar and All,

Not difficult with regular expressions ! So :

SEARCH (?-s)(.+)\R

REPLACE *\1*\x20

Select the Regular expression search mode

Move your cursor to the beginning of your list of files

Click several times on the Replace button or once, only, on the Replace All button

Voilà !

Notes :

As usual, the (?-s) modifier means that the regex dot character ( . ) represents a single standard character

Then, the part (.+) stands for any non-empty range of consecutive standard characters, which is stored as group1, as embedded in parentheses

The last part, \R matches any kind of line-break ( \r\n, \n or \r )

In replacement, we rewrite an asterisk, followed by the filename ( group1 ), followed, again, with an asterisk and, finally, with a space character ( \x20 )

Best Regards,

guy038

P.S. :

A small drawback is that the last file, of the unique line, is, of course, followed with a space char, too !

Hello, @alx-fs and All,

Assuming that, in Settings > Preferences... > MISC. dialog, the options Enable and Enable MRU behaviour, of the Document Switcher(Ctrl+TAB) part, are set, then, if several tabs exist in a single instance of Notepad++, you can switch between the last two accessed tabs, with the Ctrl + Tab shortcut, … in a similar way you would use Alt + Tab to switch between two instances of N++ !

Best Regards,
