Hello Lisa-Cagle,

it could be that you either

have no write permission to the destination folder (did you use administrator account for installation?) or that there is already a file with the same name which has read-only flag set, so it can’t be overwritten.
(if the file already exists, right click ->properties)
Which OS do you use?

Cheers
Claudia

Claudia: Your solution works perfectly. Thanks so much!

Hmm you wrote it like I would come from different planet.
I’m not sure I described it well in my engrish :)

But I’m sure it’s worth to build in. As I said for me as beginner, is pain in somewhere to make Atom work. It’s difficult to set it and know all available packages for my needs. It’s like every new package for every issue you want inside. It’s a lot of work to set it and also I’m not sure how overwrite basic-core key bindings and how manage conflicts of newcome key bindings coming with newly installed packages. But no more about Atom. My hero is Notepad++, I really want to stuck with it, but if me - a beginner has problems with it, I’m surprised others don’t.
I just hope, this project won’t end like Sublime text ended or Lighttable too. Please developers listen to audience needs. Don’t let it die because of obsolete and not changing forward.

Thanks

Thanks for help =)

Hello jgjake2,

you can’t blame npp for this rather your mouse properties settings.
Check Pointer Options -> Snap to
I assume this has been enabled(checked).

You guys got my point although I didn’t make it clear enough. It’s a pity that npp could not get an environmental variable.
Just let you know my demand better and my solution in R:

library(R.utils)
user <- System$getUsername()
directory <- paste(“C:\\Users\\”, user, “\\workspace”, sep=“”)
setwd(directory)

With the above code, I could set the working directory correctly regardless of which computer I use, so it’s easy for me to switch different computers.

I’m just a beginner of Python, however, I will learn your script @Claudia-Frank .
Thank you all!@XP1 @Claudia-Frank

thanks for the answer

Hello Jim-Robson,

I assume you are creating webpages with html and php
and WYSIWYG refers to updated webpages which should be
displayed automatically, correct?

If so, no this doesn’t work that way. You need to edit the pages in npp
and run (F5) it with your preferred browser. As you use php in addition,
you need to have some web server instance running.

In F5 dialog you can put in something like

DRIVE:\YOUR_INSTALL_DIRECTORY\YOUR_BROWSER.exe http://localhost/$(FILE_NAME)

DRIVE might be replaced with C, D, etc.
YOUR_INSTALL_DIRECTORY is, of course the directory where your browser is installed
YOUR_BROWSER.exe something like Firefox.exe etc.

$(FILE_NAME) needs not to be replaces, it refers to the open active document but
http://localhost/ may be, depending whether you store everything in web server root directory.

In addition there is a nppExec plugin which does the same as F5 RUN function but with more
functionality.

Hello Alan-Wadsworth,

some outcomes on this tips.

Hello jahsql,

I don’t quite understand what you mean by

Second one - because it can’t understand that only one branch of “if” is executed.

Well, I understand what you are saying but I don’t see how a lexer should
know if parts of a code get executed or not. A lexer should tokenize
the code and color each token in regards to the defined rules.
That the lexer gets confused by your code doesn’t surprise me as you
have four open but only three closing tags.
And php/html lexer has increased complexity as the lexer needs to
satisfy php and html code together.

Any suggestions/solutions?

<div> <div> <!-- this should be highlighted --> <?php if($x==$y) { echo ‘<div id=“bug1”>’; /* bugged highlight to here */ echo ‘</div>’; else echo ‘<div id=“bug2”>’; echo ‘</div>’; } ?> </div> <!-- bugged highlight from here --> </div>

Maybe I didn’t get the point but this are my two cents worth.

Claudia

Hello sathish-kulal,

the builtin function is Run (F5) which can execute an external program together with your file
provided as a parameter.
See here for a more detailed description.
This means you can run batch files, python script, c program and so on but you provide your
complete file like

cmd /k python.exe “$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)”

“$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)” is the path of the active document.

In this article it is also mentioned that there is a plugin called NppExec which has much more functionality.
Maybe worth to try it as well.

Cheers
Claudia

If someone could translate this, I would appreciate it.

Hello Johan-Havenga,
If there is a pattern in how they do the description, it should be possible.
Can show us an example and describe how you want it to be done?

Hello Michael Horvath,

I guess I understand what you mean.

<ref name=“Pächt83”/> and confirmed with the 1959 discovery of …

is painted in green underlined, whereas

<ref name=“Pächt83”/>

should be the only one and the text afterwards should be again in black, correct?

Contrary to

<ref name=whatever> here some text </ref>

where everything should be painted in green and underlined.

Afaik, having two different closing tags for one opening tag isn’t supported yet.

Cheers
Claudia

Hello Prabhu and Scott,

Scott, nice work-around, indeed ! I upvoted for it.

Prabhu, there is, also, an other possibility :

Select the Search - Mark… menu option

Type abc, in the Find what : zone

Check the Bookmark line and the Purge for each search options

If necessary, check the Match case and Wrap around options

Select the appropriate search mode

Click on the Mark All button

Then, select the Search - Bookmark - Copy Bookmarked Lines menu option

Open a new tab ( CTRL + N )

Finally, paste the bookmarked lines ( CTRL + V )

However, my method has a disadvantage : it does NOT copy the line numbers, of the matched lines :-((

So, finally, we’re all agree that an option to get ONLY ONE line, with the multiple matched strings highlighted, would be welcome !!

Best Regards,

guy038

P.S. :

I’ve just thought about an other way to get the line numbers, but not the highlighting, unfortunately :

Look for any occurrence of abc and send the results to the Find result pane, clicking, as usual, on the Find All in Current Document button

Select all the lines found, in the Find result pane, with the mouse

Copy these lines with a CTRL + C action

Open a new tab ( CTRL + N )

Paste these lines with a CTRL + V action

Finally, perform the S/R, below, with the Regular expression search mode checked

SEARCH (?-s)(^\h*(Line \d+:).*\R)(?:^\h*\2.*\R?)+

REPLACE \1

Et voilà ! You get each line, of the list, only once :-)
