Hello Lisa Nux,

there are several issues here.

First line sets an variable OUTFILE to C:\Users\Lisa\Desktop\UNi\WS1516\CT\output1.txt
but the output states that it is OUTFILE = C:\Users\Lisa\Desktop\CT.txt ??

Second line you open a command prompt with switch /C, which means cmd should terminate
after command has been executed but you do not provide an command.

Third line should execute perl with first parameter being the script which should get executed
but, at least what you’ve provided, there is a space between \CT\ and PG_SCRIPTS… so perl
cannot execute the script. Maybe that’s the source of the issue.

and in this line
C:\PERL\DWIMPERL\PERL\BIN\PERL.EXEC:\USER\Lisa\Desktop\CT\PG_SCRIPTS\check_001.PL DT “(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)” >(OUTFILE)

there isn’t a space between PERL.EXE and C:\USER…

Cheers
Claudia

I am not sure what you need, but I’ll offer atip that might help.

I think you might want to be able to fold *<section> up to some following section? You say there is no closing keyword and that “$” begins a comment. If that is all correct, then perhaps you can create a closing keyword like this:

[...] *NODE 1-2.300000000E-02 1.000000000E-03 0.000000000E+00 0 0 ... 10034-2.240450559E-02 3.333333333E-04 5.896247027E-04 0 0 $SECTION_END $ $ $ SECTION DEFINITIONS $ $ ...

Here, I am using the comment “$SECTION_END” as an end-of-folding keyword. Maybe this will work for you?

It’s not possible and I don’t think any plugins exist that do that either. You are probably better off using tools specifically for searching compressed files.

Oh…now I see what you mean! The find results does in fact cut it off for some reason…odd. You might try a plugin called LineFilter2. You can search for text (or regular expression) and it will pull out every line that matches. I use it all the time for digging through log files.

Hi Pius Lee,
it happened to me as well but in the end it turned out that
numbers on the num key pad weren’t activated. Maybe worth to check?

Cheers
Claudia

Hello David Lepold,
I guess that’s not possible.
If the file extensions are known than maybe recording a macro would do the job?

Cheers
Claudia

Wow nice, thank you very much. It was just a little difficult to find alone :) Thanks!

Hello NikCs2015,

it sounds that either the file extension is known by a lexer and does automatic coloring
or you did some changes in styler configurator (settings menu).

Cheers
Claudia

This seems like a reasonable feature request.

Hello Alan,

May be, the links, below, will give you some hints about it and also the solution ! If, so, give us a short report of your actions. It may be useful for some other N++ users :-)

Hi @Claudia-Frank ,

thanks for the help again!

I have had trouble with the plugin manager before, but it’s no big deal as long as google is still around.
And the Python documentation isn’t a big problem either, again google will have all the answers ;P

I did look into Python before as i have a Raspberry Pi, but i have never really done anything with it.
Most of the time i write simple programs in C#, getting spoiled by MSDN and Intellisense, hehe.

Your suggestion works great tho, typing @ or # shows all entries in the api file and those from files i import in the script i’m writing.
I only wish i could start typing in lowercase and get Properly Cased autocomplete entries. I figured that editor.autoCSetIgnoreCase(True) would do this but i might be wrong.
Also inside the api file the ignoreCase attribute is set to ‘yes’ so it might be a scintilla or npp limitation?
I might just have to adjust my typing style and not be so lazy ;P
But i will try sorting the api file tho. (when i have more time)

Considering autocompleting autoit variables (starting with $) it works ok if i leave $ out of the AdditionalWordChars, i just have to type the first character after the $ and it pops up.

Comparing VS and npp is like comparing apples and oranges (or as we say in Holland, apples and pears) especially considering the sheer manpower behind VS.
I didn’t mean to bash npp but i was just a bit annoyed by the trouble i had. Maybe i should have waited a bit before posting.
Npp is great with all the features and plugins, it puts regular notepad to shame.
Besides, writing Python in VS isn’t that much better anyway and i still have a lot to learn.

I definitely see you can do some interesting things with the PythonScript plugin, i’ll have to look into that. And it’s documented pretty well too.
Thanks!

If anyone’s interested here’s the script: (fixed)

def setEditiorOpts(args): # check if this editor already has the WordChars set if editor.getProperty("_isOptionsSet"): return # get current WordChars and append additional chars. add any character you like here, but they may not all work chars = editor.getWordChars() + "@#" # set new WordChars editor.setWordChars(chars) # set a flag in this editor instance to prevent future calls editor.setProperty("_isOptionsSet", True) # manually call because callback will not be run upon start setEditiorOpts({"bufferID": notepad.getCurrentBufferID()}) # register callback to be called whenever the current window changes notepad.callback(setEditiorOpts, [NOTIFICATION.BUFFERACTIVATED])

(the forum doesn’t want to format the comments properly anymore?)

It’s possible to detect the current language with editor.getLexerLanguage(), it returns the current language as a string.
Or maybe you can use NOTIFICATION.LANGCHANGED instead of NOTIFICATION.BUFFERACTIVATED, but i haven’t looked into that.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the insight. I usually run everything as “Administrator” but apparently Notepad++ doesn’t work this way. Unchecked the attribute and now it’s working.

The behavior I am looking for can be found by “update silently”. However I still want to receive the yes/no box to reload. This is especially true for large files.

No I hadn’t hid the lines … it was the first time I used the program.

No plugins or extras that I’m aware of.

I went where you indicated and clicked Hide Lines a couple of times and I think on the third time the lines that were hidden came back.

Thank you very much. Very helpful.

This program needs a college course on how to run it there is so much in it.

Way more than I was expecting.

Notepad++ was mentioned in a game forum and I decided to try it.

Somehow I had missed the Hide Lines option in the View menu. Probably just going too fast.
I have a habit of that, I’m afraid.

All the features are impressive.

Thanks again.

Looks it was just reported.

@Owd-Larrd or Johnny B., if you prefer. :-)

I also update the way Claudia mentions. I think it may be the only effective method.
