Hi, @terry-r and All,

A very simplified version of my regex (?-s)^(.+ by ).+\[only as by (.+)\], could be :

^.+ by .+[only as by .+] ( BEWARE : This syntax is not functional, it’s just for explanations !)

As the syntax .+* stands for the longest range of standard characters which can match the remaining part of the regex :

Then, this regex searches, from beginning of line, for :

Any non-null range of standard characters, followed with the string by surrounded by two space characters

Then, followed with a second non-null range of standard characters, followed with the string [only as by, followed with a space

And, finally, with a third non-null range of standard characters, followed with the ] symbol, ending the line

Don’t be afraid to ask the community if you feel some difficulties, when elaborating some advanced regexes !

On the other hand, you’ll get some regex documentation here

Not sure about all of the info you provided but…

What is your setting for this redboxed option…there may be a clue in the blue underlining…? :

I’ve noticed the same problem as Loren describes, except for me the position is not set all the way back to the top of the file, it’s set only a few lines up from the cursor position. The cursor will be off screen (below). The left/right key workaround works, but it’s not really what we want.

I should note that this is a recent issue, I haven’t noticed it in previous versions. Let’s hope it’s easy enough to fix. Thanks!

Hello, andreas-petersen,

No, andreas, it’s not a bug ! Indeed, there are some specific Scintilla commands which involve lines :

SCISELECTIONDUPLICATE : Copy current selection or current line, under the cursor location ( Ctrl + D )

SCILINEDELETE : Delete current line, without copying its contents in the clipboard ( Ctrl + Shift + L )

SCILINECUT : Cut current line and copy its contents in the clipboard ( Crtl + L )

SCILINECOPY : Copy current line in the clipboard ( Ctrl + Shift + X )

SCILINETRANSPOSE : Swap the current line with the line just above ( Ctrl + T )

And also :

Notepad Command : Move Up Current Line ( Ctrl + Shift + Up )

Notepad Command : Move Down Current Line ( Ctrl + Shift + Down )

Of course, with the Shortcut Mapper, you can customize your own shortcuts for these commands ! Just choose the Scintilla tab ;-))

Best Regards,

Just as Harald-Napp said, I have some troubles opening files with very long strings.
I have a file ~60MB with a single string and it takes several minutes to open it, while Lister or even Windows Notepad just takes several seconds.
It would be really great if you guys manage to improve the performance of opening such files.
Thanks!
