    @minsikau that is url standard encoding. Spaces needs to be percent escaped. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#page-12 for more information. Cheers Claudia

    @pranjal-mathur Same result or different result but not solved. By any change - could you upload the xml for testing? Or create one which shows the behavior. Cheers Claudia

    @Dave-Lafontaine To obtain help here, you need to be able to write a coherent, understandable question. Yours makes little if any sense. If you work in the computer security realm, I hope you put more care into that work than you did with your post. I also hope you rephrase your inquiry, because there are people here that can and will help, if they can understand what you need.

    Hello kreien, I was pretty sure that your sorted list could be modified with a regex S/R. Unfortunately, I was unable to perform what you want to, in one go :-(( Luckily, with two successive S/R, it’s quite OK ! First of all, add a dummy line, just before the first line of your list ( xxxx[TAB]xxxx ) We’ll also need a dummy character, not used yet, in your file, to identify specific lines. I chose the # symbol but any other symbol may be used. Just escape it if this symbol is a special regex character ! Two hypotheses : I supposed that each line of your sorted list are NOT preceded by some blank characters, which could be different, between two consecutive lines ! I supposed that you don’t care about the case of the text, before the first tabulation character So, we start, for instance, with the sorted example text, below : xxxx xxxx Garden following text garden following text Garden following text Garden following text Green following text House following text House following text house following text street following text Street following text Wall following text As you can see, the lines, beginning with House, are located after those beginning with the word Green. Better for a sorted list, isn’t it ? The first regex S/R, below, will add a # symbol at the end of, either , any single line and OR the last line of a group SEARCH (?i-s)^(.+?)\t.+\K\R(?!\1) REPLACE #$0 NOTES : The part (?i-s) forces the regex engine to consider the dot character, ., as a single standard character, only and that all the process is done, in an insensitive way ! Then, the part ^(.+?)\t represents, from beginning of line, the shortest range of standard characters, followed by a tabulation character. This range is stored as group 1, due to the surrounding round brackets The part .+, matches all the remaining standard characters, of the line, after the first tabulation The final part \R(?!\1) represents the End of Line character(s) of the current line, followed by a negative look-ahead, that is to say a condition which must be true for the regex engine considers the overall match. So, the beginning of the next line must be different from the beginning of the previous one ( \1 ) Finally, the syntax \K forces the regex engine to forget all text matched, before \K. So, this search regex just matches the End of line character(s) of the current line, if next line does NOT begin with the same string beginning the current one So, in replacement, these End of Line character(s) ( the whole regex $0 ) are re-written, preceded by a # symbol And we obtain the changed text, below : xxxx xxxx# Garden following text garden following text Garden following text Garden following text# Green following text# House following text House following text house following text# street following text Street following text# Wall following text# The second regex S/R, below, deletes any # symbol, as well as any text, till the first tabulation character, in all the lines whose the previous line does NOT end with a # symbol SEARCH (?-s)#|[^#\r\n]\R\K.+?(?=\t) REPLACE EMPTY NOTES : Refer above, for the (?-s) syntax The first part of the alternative, |, matches a possible # symbol, at the end of a line The second part of the alternative, [^#\r\n]\R, looks for a last standard character, different from a # symbol, followed by the End of Line character(s) Then the \K syntax, again, reset the regex engine search location, at beginning of the next line Finally, the part .+?(?=\t) just matches the shortest range of characters, which is followed by the first tabulation character, of the next line In replacement, either, the # symbol OR all the characters, before the first tabulation, when the previous line does NOT end with a # symbol, are, simply, deleted So, we get the final text : xxxx xxxx Garden following text following text following text following text Green following text House following text following text following text street following text following text Wall following text To end with, delete the dummy first line. Et voilà ! IMPORTANT : As we use the \K syntax, in the two S/R, you must click on the Replace All button, exclusively ! Don’t use the Replace button, ( step by step replacement ) for these S/R ! Best Regards, guy038

    If you start npp with the remember current session … setting (Settings->Preferences->Backup) but this doesn’t work if you open npp from the commandline with a wildcard flag. Or you could save this session and start npp from the command line with the -openSession filename parameter. Cheers Claudia

    @John-Bowman If you don’t mind the idea of creating some new commands (one-time-only) and executing TWO additional steps (every search), here is a workaround for Notepad++'s current inability to search in extensionless files. Your workflow will be slightly modified: Step 1: Run command “Rename *. to *.NOEXT” (defined below) on the Run menu to rename extensionless files to have extension “.NOEXT” (while you are editing any top-level file in the search tree that has a real extension) Step 2: Run your desired search; add *.NOEXT to list of filespecs to search Step 3: Run command “Rename *.NOEXT to *.” (defined below) on the Run menu to rename .NOEXT files back to being extensionless (again, while you are editing any top-level file in the search tree that has a real extension) Details of command “Rename *. to *.NOEXT”: One-time setup: In Notepad++'s Run menu, choose Run… Paste the following in “The Program to Run” box: cmd /c cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) & For /R %G in (*.) do REN "%G" "%~nG.NOEXT" Press the Save button and name it something meaningful like “Rename *. to *.NOEXT” After accepting the name via the OK button in the “Shortcut” window, press the Cancel button in the “Run…” window (yes, seems like the wrong thing to do). Details of command “Rename *.NOEXT to *.”: One-time setup: In Notepad++'s Run menu, choose Run… Paste the following in “The Program to Run” box: cmd /c cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) & For /R %G in (*.NOEXT) do REN "%G" "%~nG." Press the Save button and name it something meaningful like “Rename *.NOEXT to *.” After accepting the name via the OK button in the “Shortcut” window, press the Cancel button in the “Run…” window. Thanks to this website for some helpful info on renaming files: http://ss64.com/nt/ren.html

    Hello, Trucide Polère and Claudia, Trucide, I also found two S/R to achieve what you would like to but, compared to the Claudia’s solution, the second S/R needs to be run, once only :-))) So, just click on the Replace All button, once for each S/R ! My solution works : Whatever the location of the word “Chapter”, in current line Whatever the number value, of the word “Chapter” ( Numeric sort not needed ) Whatever the case of the word “Chapter” If blank line(s) is(are) inserted between two chapters If blank line(s) is(are) inserted between two lines of a chapter Remark : These regexes need an extra character, which must NOT exist, yet, in your file. I chose the # symbol but any other symbol may be used. Just escape it if this symbol is a special regex character ! So, given the example text, below, with 3 blank lines after “line 10” : Chapter 156 line 1 line 2 line 3 line 4 line 5 Chapter 2 line 5 line 6 This is a test : chapter 37 line 7 line 8 line 9 line 10 The first regex S/R, below, adds a line, beginning with a # symbol and followed by the number of the current chapter, just before the line, containing the next word chapter, whatever its case OR before the very end of the file SEARCH (?i)Chapter\h+(\d+)(?s).+?(?=(?-s).*Chapter|\z) REPLACE $0#\1\r\n So it gives the changed text, below : Chapter 156 line 1 line 2 line 3 line 4 line 5 #156 Chapter 2 line 5 line 6 #2 This is a test : chapter 37 line 7 line 8 line 9 line 10 #37 The second regex S/R, below : search for a complete line, beginning with a # symbol, and deletes it search for a non-empty line, which does not contain the word Chapter, whatever its case but it’s followed, further on, by the nearest # symbol with its number, stored as group 1 then adds this number, followed by a dash, in front of each line, during replacement SEARCH (?i-s)^#.+\R|(?!.*Chapter)^.+(?=(?s).+?#(\d+)) REPLACE ?1\1-$0 So, we obtain the final text, below : Chapter 156 156-line 1 156- line 2 156-line 3 156- line 4 156-line 5 Chapter 2 2-line 5 2-line 6 This is a test : chapter 37 37-line 7 37- line 8 37- line 9 37-line 10 Best Regards, guy038 Note : as usual : The modifier (?-s) means that further dot character ( . ) stands for any single standard character, except for any End of Line character The modifier (?s) means that further dot character ( . ) stands for any single character, included End of Line character The modifier (?i) means that the regex search is performed in an insensitive way The modifier (?s) means that the regex search is performed in a sensitive way

    I don’t know if you have figured this out by yourself yet, but it appears that Notepad ++ breaks several file associations (at least on my systems) that I have had to manually fix - .bat, .cmd, .ini, .inf, nfo. and .vbs. The easiest way to fix this is via the ASSOC command from the (Administrator) command prompt. The best way to check which associations need to be looked at is to run ‘assoc’ and copy-and-paste the results into (ironically) Notepad ++ and look at which ones are associated with NPP. You can get the syntax by typing ‘assoc /?’ at a prompt. The proper associations for the ones listed are: .bat=batfile; .cmd=cmdfile; .inf=inffile; .ini=inifile; .nfo=MSInfoFile .vbs=VBSFile It also seems to grab .bash file extensions too, but unless you have the new Bash shell on Windows 10 installed this won’t matter. Hope this helps!

    @Scott-Sumner said: Perhaps the best way to explain it so that it is understood is that instead of doing cmd /k csc.exe “$(C:\Users\user1\Documents\MyFiles\sample.cs)” You should do cmd /k csc.exe “C:\Users\user1\Documents\MyFiles\sample.cs” Make sure that works, then change it to how you really should do it, and that is, have your file – C:\Users\user1\Documents\MyFiles\sample.cs – active in an editor tab, and then invoke exactly this: cmd /k csc.exe “$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)” TY guys I’m up and running.

    @Bryce-Gessell outlining is one of those terms which do have different meanings and/or assumptions what is expected, so please forgive me if my tip isn’t useful - what about using a regular expression and search for all in current document? Cheers Claudia

    Hello, Antonio, If you are sure that the last colon, of each line of your file, is the exact location which separates the two parts, of each line, to be reversed , an other formulation could be : SEARCH : (?-s)^(.+):(.+) REPLACE : \2: \1 ( with a space between the colon : and the back-reference \1) Notes : The (?-s) first part ensures that the dot special character ( . ) represents a single standard character and not any End of Line character Then the part (.+):, look, from beginning of line ( ^ ), for the longest non-empty range of standard characters, followed by the last colon of each line, which is stored as group 1, due to round brackets Finally, the part (.+), grabs all the remaining standard characters of the current line ( = all text after the last colon character ) and stores them in group 2 Best Regards, guy038

    Which type of installation do you use? Notepad++ Installer 32-bit x86: Take this one if you have no idea which one you should take. Notepad++ zip package 32-bit x86: Don’t want to use installer? Check this one (zip format). Notepad++ 7z package 32-bit x86: Don’t want to use installer? 7z format. Notepad++ minimalist package 32-bit x86: No theme, no plugin, no updater, quick download and play directly. 7z format. The autoupdater is named gup.exe under Notepad++\updater and has a corresponding config file gup.xml. Gup.xml could be modified to avoid that the update page could be found or could be removed as in the minimalist package. The gpup.exe in the same folder is the updater for the plugin manager.
