    If the disk was the one containing your Windows system, I think the whole operating system may have become unstable when the disk filled up - possibly aborting NP++. It is not a good idea to run with nearly full disks, but of course a program that gets stuck in a loop can easily fill a disk.

    I wonder if you have been experimenting with the shortcut mapper and disturbed the definition of the Enter key. Go into the Scintilla tab, and see what Enter is bound to - it should be bound to SCI_NEWLINE

    Could you be more specific please?
    What is your OS? Windows 7? 8?
    What is your Notepad++ version?
    What does it mean “… and then the system turned off”? Notepad++ crashed? Power loss?
    All of this is very important to find the possible cause. Otherwise you’ll need to seek the help of a fortuneteller.

    @Paulina-Padlinka

    Did you check if python script plugin has been installed successfully?
    Open python script console and print something to it.
    If everything is ok with the installation, did you change the ui language?
    The runMenuCommand function must have the exact spelling.

    Cheers

    @Eugene-Ipavec

    did you check the backup directory? Maybe there is an previous version there.
    Concerning the editor, I guess the only editor which doesn’t have that potential risk
    is an editor which doesn’t interact with files.

    Cheers

    You can to this. make a search and replace in all files with Regular Expression:

    Search [~}{@%.!)\]*(?&$#,=/[^+-] Replace by (leave empty)

    This will delete all the special characters from files, and will remain only letters and numbers.

    @BMSI-Bureau

    I would prefer using \d{2} to be sure getting only a two digit number.
    See here for more information.

    @Nate-Jensen141

    Have you tried that?

    Yes, that’s what I did.
    Concerning the changes - I guess the reference is the default theme (styler.xml).
    If it does work with the default, then make sure that your theme has all the required
    entries for the language in question, as well. If this is the case, than it should work.
    From the current discussion I get the feeling that your styler.xml is already corrupted.
    Maybe you wanna think about replacing it with the stylers.model.xml which is the one
    which is used to create the styler.xml if you do a new installation.
    Of course, you can also run a compare of these files and do the changes manually.

    Cheers

    plugin, - not that I’m aware of.
    And I don’t think that scintilla being the editor component is useful in this case.

    @guy038 ,

    Although I frequently use the ALT+MouseSelect column editing, I had never looked in the Column Editor dialog box, and didn’t know it had the auto-number feature. I’ll have to keep that in mind. I love learning new-to-me features in NPP.

    And your regex mastery always astounds me. :-)

    I would make one change to allow @CTL-Signup’s original asterisks (which I assume were marking either the “right” answer or the “selected” answer) to be preserved, which in my tests seems to work by modifying the first

    SEARCH (?-s)^\R|\R(\*?\l\))|(.+)

    Explanation: the same as Guy’s, except allow zero or one asterisk before the lowercase letter: \* indicates a literal asterisk; ? indicates “match 0 or 1”.

    From your screenshot, it appears you are searching for your data in the wrong order: you won’t find “ab” if you tell Notepad++ to search for “ba”…

    Claudia and gstavi - Thanks for your answers

    Finally I managed a workaround by saving fist the utf-8 data file as .xls (which I could), opening excel and saving as .csv and then open in npp and “convert to ansi” - other ways exchanged some letters - but somehow this worked with no missing or exchanged letters.

    Thanks again

    @Amol-Deshmane

    Why do you need to have it in the same console?
    For reference? If so, NppExec provides functions for saving last output.
    See NppExec help.
    If it is for different reason we need to know what you do to see if this can be done
    or not.
