@Anna-Maria-Schmid

nice to see that it has been solved - out of curiosity, did you reinstall WinCompose while npp was running?
In other words, do you think it could be caused by @samhocevar assumptions?

t is not even worth trying, is to turn the pdf into a dead o

hello Glossar. Thanks for the idea with pdf to images. This is a possible good solution, but if there are many many pdf (like 200) witch I want to convert to .txt, will be very hard.

So, I find another solution. After convert all files, I will use option “Find and Replace all in all folder”, all those symbols (like [,],) that replace the diacritics: These symbols have the same function and repeats all the time.

] = t
\|á = a
[ = s
~ = i

@Piloto-Estrellas

you need to understand that the browser doesn’t execute your php code, in fact the browser do only
understand html. It’s the webserver which executes the php code and makes proper html out of it,
which then is sent to the browser.

Hi Anu Anand Premji and All,

Well, I’m back home and here are some explanations on the two S/R :

The two search regex begin with the modifier (?-s) ( No PCRE_DOTALL ) that ensures that the regex engine will consider the dot special character . will match only a single standard character and not an EOL character

Then the part, ^.+\. matches, from the beginning of the current line ^, a maximum, NON empty, of characters, till a literal dot character ( which must be escaped by an antislash character \ in order to be considered as literal ) So, if the filename would be, for instance, “abc.def.ghi.cpp”, this range would be the string abc.def.ghi

The remainder of the search regex (.+) catches the remainder of the standard characters of the current line ( The extension part ) which is stored as group 1, due to the couple of parentheses

In replacement, the regex \1\t\t$0 rewrites the group 1 ( The extension part ), then two tabulation characters and, finally, the searched string, that is to say the name of each file, with its extension ( part $0 )

I preferred to use the tabulation character, instead of some spaces, because, with the tabulation character, the complete filenames look all aligned :-)

In the second S/R the part ^.+ selects, from the beginning of each line ^, the range maximum, NON empty, of standard characters, till a non empty range of tabulation characters \t+

As the replacement field is, this time, empty, all these characters, included tabulations , are, simply, deleted !

Cheers,

assign a shortcut to vertical and/or horizontal scrolling and you can toggle it.
Settings->Shortcut mapper->Main Menu->Synchronize Vertical Scrolling (Line194)

@Florent-Pagès

just by accident I found out that there is a plugin called tidy2.

Maybe that’s helpful to you.

check if notepad++.exe and scilexer.dll are in the same folder.

Hello, Claudia, Justin and Scott,

Justin, in addition to the Python script and the native N++ column editor feature, here is a regex S/R equivalent :-))

So, let’s suppose that we start with the original text, below :

BEGINNING This is a test A line with 25 characters an another try + a COMPLETE line of 34 characters_1 END

Open the Replace dialog

In the Find what : field, type :

(?-s)^(?!.{34}( |1))(.+)|^.{34}\K +

In the Replace with : field, type :

?2\2 1 , with 34 SPACES, between \2 and the digit 1, that should be ADDED

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click, TWICE, on the Replace All button ( IMPORTANT )

You should obtain the modified text, below :

BEGINNING 1 This is a test 1 A line with 25 characters 1 an another try 1 + 1 a COMPLETE line of 34 characters_11 END 1

NOTES :

The (?-s) syntax ensures that the dot ( . ) will stand for standard characters, only !

The ^ is the assertion beginning of line, which must be verified

The negative look-ahead ( (?!.{34}( |1)) ) verifies if the condition NO space NOR the 1 digit, at position 35, is true. This case occurs, ONLY, on the original text, before any S/R

So, the regex catches, first, all the standard characters ( .+ ), of any non-empty line, stored in group 2

In replacement, as group 2 exists, it rewrites the current line, then adds a minimum of 34 spaces and the final digit 1

When you click a second time, on the Replace all button, the left part of the alternative cannot be achieved, as the look-ahead condition is, this time, false

So, the regex engine tries to match the right part of the alternative ( ^.{34}\K + )

The first part ( ^.{34} ) select the first 34 characters of each line

Due to \K syntax, this range is forgotten and the regex engine, now, matches any consecutive non-null range of space characters ( + ), from the 35th position, included

In replacement, as the group 2 is not used any more and that the conditional replacement, ?2... , do not have an ELSE part, these space characters are simply deleted !

REMARKS :

The nice thing is that you may add, as many spaces, as you want, after the 34 first spaces, in the replacement field !

And, any additional click, after the second one, on the Replace all button, does not match anything else :-))

Cheers,
