Hello, Ryan Smith,

Just click, below, to see my post to Violetta Buono, which gives a solution to install the DSpellCheck N++ plugin, since the N++ v6.8 version.

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/6966/spell-checker-plugin-issue-with-v6-8-1-missing-gnu-aspell-and-or-dictionaries/2

If your prefer to install the GNU Aspell dictionaries and the SpellChecker N++ plugin, refers to the method, below :

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/8206/method-to-install-gnu-aspell-win32-dictionaries-and-spell-check-plugin-on-n/1

I do hope one of these two solutions will be helpful to you :-))

Hi, D visser,

Oh ! you’re right ! Although it was correctly written in the Notes section, the general regex should be :

(?-s)^.*Your Character|String|Range of Words|Regex expression.*\R ( and NOT (?s)..... ! )

So, I updated my previous post !

Below, here are the FOUR search regex, to enter in the Find what zone, in order to delete :

A) All lines containing the string MEX, in that EXACT case

(?-is)^.*MEX.*\R

B) All lines containing the string MEX, WHATEVER its case

(?i-s)^.*MEX.*\R

C) All lines containing the word MEX, in that EXACT case

(?-is)^.*\bMEX\b.*\R

D) All lines containing the word MEX, WHATEVER its case

(?i-s)^.*\bMEX\b.*\R

Notes :

Remember that the Replace with: zone must be EMPTY !

The \b assertions represents, either, the zero-length limit, between :

( A non-word character OR the very beginning of a file ) AND a word character

A word character AND ( a non-word character OR the very end of a file )

The in-line modifier (?-i) forces the search, in a NON-insensitive way

The in-line modifier (?i) forces the search, in a insensitive way

So, suppose the original text, of four lines :

Line 1 : Example ofMEX text Line 2 : Example ofmeX text Line 3 : Example of MEX text Line 4 : Example of MEx text

Then :

The regex A) would delete the lines 1 and 3

The regex B) would delete the lines 1, 2, 3 and 4

The regex C) would delete the line 3

The regex D) would delete the lines 3 and 4

@gstavi Yes that was spot on…my text manipulation was looking at \r [CR] when all it needed was to llok at \n [LF] first instead ! Thanks :)

must be try from new comer like me.

is this only work for specific language

Lua is just used to control Scintilla features that are not exposed by Notepad++, but it will work for any language.

what’s the “editor1” and “editor2” refer to ?

Since Notepad++ can have two files open side-by-side it has 2 “editor” instances refered to as “editor1” and “editor2”. So setting both editors makes sure that if you move a file to another view it still works correctly.

these i guess…https://dail8859.github.io/LuaScript/

Yes that’s the official documentation.

I have solved my problem with DisplayFusion.

A native fix would still be desirable.

Hello, Surinder Ram,

In your example, below, do you mean that the separator values is the real VERTICAL LINE, of Unicode value \x007C ?

"Value_1"|"Value_2"|"Value_3"....

If so, I suppose that you would like that :

The syntax ""| would be changed into "|"

The syntax |"" would be changed into "|"

The syntax "" would be changed into "|"

The syntax "| , NOT followed by a double quote mark, would be changed into "|"

The syntax |" , NOT preceded by a double quote mark, would be changed into "|"

The syntax |, NOT surrounded by two double quote marks, would be changed into "|"

And, if any of these syntaxes, above, are found at the end of the current line, it would be changed into a single final double quote mark (")

And, also, when the normal separator form "|" or NO separator, at all, is found, at end of the current line, it would be changed into a single " character

In that case, just follow the few steps, below :

Go back to the very beginning of your file ( Ctrl + Origin )

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

In the Find what zone, type (?:(""\||\|""|""|(?<!")\|"|"\|(?!")|(?<!")\|(?!")|"\|")|(?<=[^"|\r\n]))(?=(\R))|(?1)

In the Replace with zone, type (?2":"|")

Click on the Replace All button

Et voilà !

So, from the original example, below, where :

Only, values 7 - 8 AND values 8 - 9 are correctly separated, on each line

The value9 is correctly ended, in the first line, only

value1"“|value2|”“value3"“value4”|value5|“value6|value7”|“value8”|“value9”
value1"”|value2|““value3"“value4”|value5|“value6|value7”|“value8”|“value9|””
value1"”|value2|““value3"“value4”|value5|“value6|value7”|“value8”|“value9"”|
value1"”|value2|”“value3"“value4”|value5|“value6|value7”|“value8”|“value9"”
value1"”|value2|““value3"“value4”|value5|“value6|value7”|“value8”|“value9|”
value1"”|value2|”“value3"“value4”|value5|“value6|value7”|“value8”|“value9”|
value1"”|value2|"“value3"“value4”|value5|“value6|value7”|“value8”|“value9|
value1"”|value2|”“value3"“value4”|value5|“value6|value7”|“value8”|“value9
value1"”|value2|”“value3"“value4”|value5|“value6|value7”|“value8”|“value9”|”

After that S/R, the different separators would be changed and the different values correctly separated, as below :

value1"|"value2"|"value3"|"value4"|"value5"|"value6"|"value7"|"value8"|"value9" value1"|"value2"|"value3"|"value4"|"value5"|"value6"|"value7"|"value8"|"value9" value1"|"value2"|"value3"|"value4"|"value5"|"value6"|"value7"|"value8"|"value9" value1"|"value2"|"value3"|"value4"|"value5"|"value6"|"value7"|"value8"|"value9" value1"|"value2"|"value3"|"value4"|"value5"|"value6"|"value7"|"value8"|"value9" value1"|"value2"|"value3"|"value4"|"value5"|"value6"|"value7"|"value8"|"value9" value1"|"value2"|"value3"|"value4"|"value5"|"value6"|"value7"|"value8"|"value9" value1"|"value2"|"value3"|"value4"|"value5"|"value6"|"value7"|"value8"|"value9" value1"|"value2"|"value3"|"value4"|"value5"|"value6"|"value7"|"value8"|"value9"

If this S/R ,just, solves your problem, next time, I’ll explain the regexes used !

Best Regards

Add a new line After the word_2:

Search: WORD_2
Replace By: \n\nWORD_2\n\n

Add a new line Before word_1:

Search: WORD_1
Replace By: \n\nWORD_1\n
