Hello, bill clinton and Gerdb42,

If I refer to the original text, posted by bill clinton, below :

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/11716/help-with-formula-please/1

it seems, that there are two spaces between the words Log and Quantity, as well as between the Qty number and the LastAccess string.

So, rather that typing two spaces, we may use a SPACE, followed by the + quantifier ( identical to the syntax {1,}) )

That comes to the regex :

(?-i)Log +Quantity +\K\d+(?! +LastAccess)

Notes :

You’ll notice that I did NOT use the following look-behind (?<=Log +Quantity +). Indeed it’s an invalid regular expression, because this regex may represent strings of different length ( due to the + quantifier )

It is important to notice that this restriction does NOT apply to look-aheads, as ( (?! +LastAccess) )

So, I replaced the look-behind with the \K construction. Thus, once, the regex has matched the regex Log +Quantity +,
this string is forgotten and the regex engine match is reset to a zero length string !

Finally, the (?-i) modifier, at the beginning, forces the regex engine to perform a NON insensitive case search

Which plug-ins have you tried?

Hello bill clinton,

Depending on the restriction’s level, that you would like to, just use ONE of the three regexes, below and replace with a specific number, say 1000

Find what : (?-is)Quantity +\K\d+

Find what : (?-is)Stack.+Quantity +\K\d+

Find what : (?-is)Stack.+Log.+Quantity +\K\d+

and :

Replace with : 1000

Notes :

Of course, the Regular expression search mode will be checked

The (?-is) modifiers, at the beginning, force the regex engine to do the search :

In an NON-insensitive case way, ( -i ) modifier

NOT as a single line, ( -s ) modifier. This means that the DOT does NOT match any End of Line characters. On the contrary, (?s), the DOT would match ALL the characters. So, for instance, the regex search (?s).+ is really identical, to CTRL + A !

Thus, because of these modifiers, you do NOT have to care about the state of Match case and . matches newline options !

It turns out that “Refresh” saves stuff in C:\Windows.old folder

So, I copied folder Notepad++
from
C:\Windows.old\Users\dennis\AppData\Roaming
to
C:\Users\dennis\AppData\Roaming

Started up Notepad++, and all looks well so far.

It only checks if the file is updated when the app regains focus.

OK I found out by myself
Some commands are not well supported by macros but it’s possible to add them manually via editing shortcut.xml file

see n++ doc : http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Editing_Configuration_Files#.3CMacros.3E

following threads if needed

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21194367/notepad-shortcut-for-new-open-containing-folder-in-menu-commands

In my case I wanted code “44042” which is “Hide Lines” in the menu (used Resource Hacker to check the menu entry code).

excerpt of my new shortcuts.xml file :
<Macros>
<Macro name=“test RDUV” Ctrl=“no” Alt=“yes” Shift=“yes” Key=“84”>
<Action type=“2” message=“0” wParam=“44042” lParam=“0” sParam=“” />
</Macro>

Thanks Jim - that works great whilst reviewing the document on-line but doesn’t change the printed output remains the same - I guess Courier 10.

Just like to have ‘flexibility’ to change font & size and save so that I could select a PREFERENCE. I have managed to change Portrait to Landscape in this mode.

I would have anticipated this to so such an obvious requirement but just haven’t managed to find

Hello, Anon Craigs

Yes, indeed, there are shortcuts for the behaviour that you would like to :-))

The DEFAULT main rules about Folding/Unfolding are :

A) The classical menu options, in the View tab, or the SHORTCUTS actions :

Fold All Levels ( ALT + 0 )

Unfold All Levels ( ALT + SHIFT + 0 )

Fold CURRENT Level, keeping the state of its sub-levels UNCHANGED ( Folded / Unfolded ) ( ALT + CTRL + F )

Unfold CURRENT Level, keeping the state of its sub-levels UNCHANGED ( Folded / Unfolded ) ( ALT + CTRL + SHIFT + F )

Collapse Level N, keeping the state of ALL the sub-levels UNCHANGED ( Folded / Unfolded ) ( ALT + Key N )

Uncollapse Level N, keeping the state of ALL the sub-levels UNCHANGED ( Folded / Unfolded ) ( ALT + SHIFT + Key N )

B) The MOUSE gestures :

Single LEFT click, on a [-] symbol, fold the CURRENT level, keeping the state of ALL the sub-levels of the CURRENT level
( Folded / Unfolded )

CTRL + single LEFT click, on a [-] symbol, fold the CURRENT level, as well as ALL the sub-levels of the CURRENT level, till the INNEST level

Single LEFT click, on a [+] symbol, unfold the CURRENT level, keeping the state of ALL the sub-levels of the CURRENT level
( Folded / Unfolded )

CTRL + single LEFT click, on a [+] symbol, unfold the CURRENT level, as well as ALL the sub-levels of the CURRENT level, till the INNEST level

Note : For this last action, you may, also, use the mouse gesture : SHIFT + single LEFT click, on the [+] symbol

Thanx :-)

Hello

This is more of a Windows problem to solve.

See following link for example :
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/change-icon-in-association-with-file-extension/4a46d2cf-405a-4e17-8158-69981531382b?auth=1

Have a look in the SourceForge discussion forum e.g. here or here

@gerdb42 I take that back. I just noticed that even when I didn’t have the “Force Administrator Mode” turned on it was still opening in Admin mode. I checked the box, applied the settings, and also enabled Comparability mode for Windows 8 just for the heck of it, and then unchecked admin mode and now the Network Drives are showing up again!

Solution:
If anyone else is having this problem I would suggest trying this first because it sure does beat going through the Registry line by line and deleting the entries. If you are having the problem, this is what did it for me:

Enable the “Force Administrator mode”, apply the settings Uncheck the Force Administrator mode, apply the settings If those two steps don’t work then try also forcing Compatibility Mode for Windows 8, applying the settings, and re-launching NP++ in NON-administrator mode and see if you’re able to see your network drives again.

I’m guessing this would only be a problem for people upgrading who may have had certain privileges set prior to the upgrade but I can’t remember whether or not that was the case for me.

@gerdb42 Is there a way to set this topic as solved so people don’t waste their time reading through it? I appreciate your help in getting this fixed! Thanks a million

Pete

Hi gerdb42, this works PERFECT - thank you sooo much for your effort!!
