After some pausing & thinking i digged into the problem again and i think i was hit by https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/3088. After reinstalling with (or better “without” the dont-use-APPDATA-option) it works like a charm. Sorry for bothering you, br johann

Thanks a lot!! Works great. (“Bookmark line” need to be checked, but that’s obvious)

Sorry, I am watching my topics but I don’t see where I get any notification or mail… Thanks for trying to help me. (I don’t know what, I believe I already told you this somewhere…) I updated PM as you suggested, this solved my problem but I have another one. I try to install the TextFX plugin, but I get an error after clicking “Install”. Actually I get the same error when trying to add many plugins I tried to add: “Installation of xxxx failed.”

I’ve noticed that if you have Multi-Instance turned on, the Backup feature only works on the first instance opened. For additional instances, you need to save/backup the files manually. Is this the issue?

Hi, @zeff-wheelock and @scott-sumner, Scott, your regexes are exact, of course ! In addition, searching for the last occurrence makes sense, as we want to know the final state of all these servers. However, I must miss something ! To my mind, we should search for the last line, with the word connected, for each server, ONLY IF a previous line, with the word disconnected, for the according server, has not been found ! For instance, if we consider the part of the Zeff’s log, below : 05/23/2017 05:04:09 AM SMTP Server: qwerty321f.domain.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) connected 05/23/2017 05:04:10 AM Router: Transferred 1 messages to SERVER004/DOMAIN via Notes 05/23/2017 05:04:10 AM SMTP Server: Message 0031D206 (…) received 05/23/2017 05:04:10 AM SMTP Server: qwerty321f.domain.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) disconnected. 1 message[s] received To my mind, it looks like, on 05/23/2017 05:04:10 AM, the server “qwerty321f” is disconnected. No ? Of course, I suppose that the string xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, in the first and last line, just above, represents the same IPV4 address ! Cheers, guy038

@Rafael-Lopes-Vivian I think part of what is in play here is that UTF-8 is the default encoding for an HTML-5 file. The characters that make up a “text” file are code points. A character encoding scheme maps the code points it understands into numbers that are stored in the file. UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 are two different character encoding schemes. A file can technically be encoded in one or the other (or some other scheme entirely) but not in both. However, when a file contains only code points that are encoded identically by 2 or more encoding schemes, then, unless there is some special meta-data in the file to indicate which encoding scheme is being used, the “proper” scheme is not knowable from the file’s contents. UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding (the size of the number each code point is mapped to varies); ISO-8859-1 is a fixed length encoding (the size of the number each code point is mapped to is 1 byte). Since ISO-8859-1 represents each code point in a byte, it can only encode 256 code points, the first 256 code points of the Unicode character set. UTF-8 can be used to encode most (if not all) code points of the UNICODE character set. Code points 0 - 127 are encoded identically by the UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 schemes. Code points 128 - 255 differ by becoming a 2-byte sequence with UTF-8 whereas they are single bytes with ISO-8859-1. So, if an ISO-8859-1 encoded file contains any code point from 128-255, then it will be a different size than a UTF-8 encoded file that contains the same code points.

@Aleksei-Samov not sure if this is a possible solution but what if you define a delimiter with open=c4d. close=, and allow nesting with keywords and numbers and additional delimiters if needed? Cheers Claudia

@Harry-Binswanger glad you solved it. Cheers Claudia

@go2to said: Several other editors accept direct copy and paste in the replace-with box, be it CR+LF, LF or combination of both. They are probably written in C++. But I think it can be done in any language since CR and LF have the same codes.\r\n\r\nDon is busy now with other issues in 7.4.1. I saw there are problems with replacing again in several open files.\r\n It is now one line after deleting CR+LF and adding \r\n. Everything is pasted in the replace box. It works flawlessly in the current file, or all open files, or in find in files.
