Thank you so much. Your response was quite helpful

thanks @guy038 , I started to really enjoy python, thankyou verymuch :)

Apparently there’s a handy path where there’s a chance to find the unsaved ones in Settings > Backup > Backup path

Confusing on what you want, but I take it the Find and Replace wont work for this?

See https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/issues/98. Maybe this is a similar issue, otherwise please create a new one with the n++ debug infos under ?->Debug Info…

At least the debug info of n++ at ?->Debug Info … is of interest regarding win version, n++ version, plugins. With the matching pdb files it is possible to open the dmp file in VS debugger, see e.g. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/4c10f189-9338-4b9f-a980-1ad297c8ad16/loading-source-files-for-post-mortem-debugging-with-a-minidump-file?forum=vsdebug. Please report at https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues.

I haven’t heard of this happening before but maybe adjusting the Zoom level of one of the views (to hopefully match the other) would be a workaround.

Your keyboard options for Zoom are found here: View (menu) -> Zoom -> …
Your mouse option is to hold Ctrl while scrolling the mouse wheel.

@PeterJones , thank you so much. I was looking for this pathethic mistake for few days.

The XML Tools plugin has a Pretty Print function that should help you out, provided your XML is valid.

Thanks for the reply. And yes, it seems to be the Catastrophic Backtracking thing. And it seems this stackoverflow exception is not caught.
The regex should be (?-s)d(.*\R){1,5}?.*c because c is not always the first of a line.
I know I should avoid low efficient regex expressions, but it is buggy to directly show a wrong result instead of telling me the limitation is reached.

Thanks Guy. Now working. But did not appear to work on a Fortran file that was already open but worked when I closed the file and reopened it!?

there was same question not long ago,
I think it is not possible to set up in GUI but there is a workaround using
margin and filling it with numbers.

Hi, @kurt-ehrhardt, @Peterjones and All

Ah, already solved, nice :-)) So, just for fun, an other formulation could be :

SEARCH \[.*?\]

REPLACE \U$0

Note, Kurt, that the two search regexes, from Peter and me, would match a “multi-lines” square-bracket block, too, as, for instance :

array[ENUM1 _NAME]

Thus, to restrict to a single-line square-bracket block, the Peter’s search regex should be changed into :

SEARCH \[([^]\r\n]*)\]

And mine should be written :

SEARCH (?-s)\[.*?\]

Cheers,

guy038

P.S. :

Note that replacement case operations occur, only, with classical letters in range [A-Za-z] Unfortunately, for Non English-American people, this does not work, at all, for accentuated letters :-((

Hello, @luis-eduardo-martinez-ruiz, and All,

Indeed, Scott gave you the right link to the related discussion to your problem ! But, as this discussion contains many posts and as you could be a bit “lost”, I think that I’m able to build a suitable regex for your needs :-))

You said, in your first post :

I want to replace those names for numeric codes

And you gave an example, with 4 forenames ( I just copied real text ! ) :

<MANUFACTURER_PID>Luis</MANUFACTURER_PID> .... <MANUFACTURER_PID>Rosa</MANUFACTURER_PID> ... <MANUFACTURER_PID>Ernesto</MANUFACTURER_PID> ... <MANUFACTURER_PID>Matias</MANUFACTURER_PID>

which have to be replaced by the 4 numeric codes ( Again, I just copied real text, not the regex ! ) :

<MANUFACTURER_PID>07498358092</MANUFACTURER_PID> ... <MANUFACTURER_PID>07498311593</MANUFACTURER_PID> ... <MANUFACTURER_PID>07498319913</MANUFACTURER_PID> ... <MANUFACTURER_PID>07498351833</MANUFACTURER_PID>

So I suppose that you have a specific file which links up these forenames to the numeric codes, and vice-versa. I mean, a file like that :

Luis : 07498358092 Rosa : 07498311593 Ernesto : 07498319913 Matias : 07498351833

or, may be, like that :

07498358092 = Luis 07498311593 = Rosa 07498319913 = Ernesto 07498351833 = Matias

Just tell me the structure of this specific file ( that I call the links file ), and we’ll be able to get the right regex S/R, which allows the change of any number of names, possibly repeated, with their respective numeric codes ( even 52000 items ! ) in one step, only :-))

Remarks :

ONE condition is mandatory : In this links file, all the names and numeric codes must be UNIQUE !

The order of names, in the initial text, can be completely different than the order they occur, in the links file. No problem !

And, as I said above, some names may be repeated, in the text to be changed. No problem, too !

See you later,

Best Regards,

guy038
