I did get this to work pasting it back in to a new document. The original files have a single space leading each numerical row that get stripped away when pasted into html. I changed the search to include a space in front of the search value and a space in front of the replace value and that seems to work, I will flush it out in more detail tonight. Thanks!

Good point @Scott-Sumner ,
I totally agree with you. What about a Discard All button with a second pop-up question dialogue “Are you sure?” ?

I also agree. This option is better than one of the dialogs available in WinMerge, which has a Discard All button, but without asking a confirmation.

Here is a similar issue: when files are modified by another application, Notepad++ Always expects a Yes/No answer for each modified file. Sure, you can avoid this with the miscellaneous setting Update silently , but this assumes a “Yes” answer for all the files. It would be better to add two extra buttons: Yes to All and No to All.

@Denis-Peter

Good that it’s working.

If it’s a reported bug then it is “known about”…but there’s not really much more a user can do about it. You can certainly dive in and fix it yourself, but even then there is no guarantee that it will be integrated, even if you present a perfectly-good fix. See the posting by @Claudia-Frank in this thread for some detail on how to do this…

I don’t think that notepad++ will included a builtin function to read/write docx files in the future
but as I’m not the developer I can’t say for sure. Same is true for plugin development.
Npp is used for editing plain text files and not for binary packed xmls. I assume you’re
better looking out for something different maybe LibreOffice etc… to do what you want.

@no9on

sorry, unfortunately nothing which makes me think this could be the problem.
Btw. the tests were done with clean npp setup, means no additional plugins used, correct?

@Scott-Sumner I sometimes use it to verify that the lines end where they look like they end, and not off the page to the right. I suppose I could use the Show White Space and TAB option to do this, but unlike some others, I don’t think the White Space display characters are big enough. :)

The other reason I sometimes turn it on (besides your use of verifying mixed line endings) is when I have Word Wrap on, and even with the Show Wrap Symbol on, it helps me distinguish more easily where the end of the line is. I don’t keep it on all the time, but I guess the way it currently displays (as opposed to White-on-Orange, which would be hideous!) doesn’t bother me all that much, as I often forget to turn it off when I’m done. Ah, perhaps our grandchildren will be able to easily configure all aspects of their favourite editor.

@cha-w

take a look at one of the other themes (Settings-Style Configurator), choose the one which matches best and modify it be selecting the language Java and changing the colors of the different styles assigned.

Hello @TS-ST ,

Go to here https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/releases/tag/v2.0.0 and download Compare plugin for your platform (for example for 32-bit get https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/releases/download/v2.0.0/ComparePlugin_v2.0.0_x86.zip).

Then manually extract the zip contents and copy them to your Notepad++ install folder -> plugins sub-folder.

@Claudia-Frank I downloaded from it official site as .exe file and with every programs I use I always zip it with winrar and keep them as backup. I can’t install v7.5.2 at all. I also had submitted a report about this to Malwarebytes as well.

@Scott-Sumner
Well, look at that, if you know where to look it’s easy to find!
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

Don’t worry, I worked it out.

press keys Win+R then write\paste
CMD

Type in cmd:
tree c:\ | more

If your windows.old is not a file but a catalog\folder (I don’t remember), do
to write file names of c:\windows.old* and its subfolders containing “MICROSOFT”:
dir c:\windows.old /s /b | find /i “MICROSOFT” >> %USERPROFILE%\DESKTOP\LOSTFILES.txt

also to output in console all file names in that catalog recursively
(recursively - i.e. all folder tree)
for /R c:\windows.old %R in (*) do @ECHO %R
