    Hello Yves, one word of warning. Avoid using nested hides, this might confuse npp. Meaning, dont hide lines 2-12 if you hided lines 4-8 already. IMHO, language settings should be editable. All the basis is there to augment folding. I agree, for builtin languages we don’t have much possibility to add additional features or change the behaviour of the lexer. Most of it is done under the hood by the scintilla component. The big advantage so is speed and we don’t have to struggle with the lexer, which can be a pain in the … Cheers Claudia

    Hi guy038, I had used part of your first example - I used search for ^“”, but missed the rest of the line. Using the complete expression worked fine. Many thanks, Tony

    Hello David-Bandey, csv stands for comma separated values but one must define where to put the commas, so there is no conversion possible without defining rules where to put the comma. Assuming there is a text like Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest. You can, for example, decide to split the text into Do the right thing. and It will gratify some people and astonish the rest. then you would put the comma after the first sentence but you can also decide to split it in three parts then you might possibly choose Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest. which would mean you have to set the first comma after the first sentence and the second comma after the word people. So you see there isn’t a one and only way to do this. If you can provide as a sample text then we might be able to offer some possible solutions. Cheers Claudia

    Hello Aled-Powell, one of the error sources could be permission problems. You use a non-priviledged account where as files stored in the directory belong to administrator only. Or someone set the permission that no one is allowed to read the files at all. Another possible issue could be that the directory isn’t really a directory but a hard/soft link or even worse a network link to an unknown formatted source. You think I’m jokeing, I went through all of this. And one of the most common problem when using npp and windows 10 together is/was that there are problems when starting npp in adminstrative mode. Now that I wrote this last sentence I reckon’ that I should have started with it. So please double check shortcut properties->compatibility. Cheers Claudia

    So let’s summarize. The script worked before but not as expected because the original version matched only whole words and not if the searched word is part of another word. To change this I changed editor.research('\\b{0}\\b'.format(selected_text), lambda m: matches.append(m.span(0))) to editor.research('{0}'.format(selected_text), lambda m: matches.append(m.span(0))) then I thought maybe there can be also a difference in notation therefore I included regex module import re and added the ignorecase flag to the research function. editor.research('{0}'.format(selected_text), lambda m: matches.append(m.span(0)),re.IGNORECASE) Which broke not only your uploaded code, which by the way is working for me, but also the python script plugin?? This is weird. There is nothing fancy here. re module is part of the standard python lib. OK, please comment the import re line # import re and change the editor.research … to editor.research('{0}'.format(selected_text), lambda m: matches.append(m.span(0))) and do another test. You do not need to do anything in the python script console, just open it, it serves as an error output window if something within the python code is wrong. For example if you add the re.IGNORECASE flag but you do not import re module first the error would be shown in the console window as soon as you double click on a word. Traceback (most recent call last): File "...\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\Highlight.py", line 42, in sci_callback_DOUBLECLICK colorize() File "...\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\Highlight.py", line 29, in colorize editor.research('{0}'.format(selected_text), lambda m: matches.append(m.span(0)),re.IGNORECASE) NameError: global name 're' is not defined May I ask you which OS, npp and python script plugin version you use?

    Thanks for the rapid reply. :) This is a game .ini file for Fallout 4. I followed your recommendation and will try it in a few minutes. Thank you very much. Well it seems to work. Game runs with no problem with the item remarked out. So unless I run into problems I will leave it that way. Thanks again.

    Hello Juan, could it be that the xml is layout more like <App action='A' id='1378'> <BaseVehicle id='128520'/> <SubModel id='3043'/> <EngineBase id='2133'/> <Qty>1</Qty> <PartType id='6708'/> <Part>G600096</Part> </App> <App action='A' id='1379'> <BaseVehicle id='128520'/> <SubModel id='296'/> <EngineBase id='2133'/> <Qty>1</Qty> <PartType id='6708'/> <Part>G600096</Part> <Note>W/O TOC ATTACHED<Note/> </App> if so, I didn’t take care that Note node may start with spaces in front. The find regex needs to be changed like (.*Qty>1<\/Qty>)\R(.*)\R(.*)\R(.*Note>.*\/>) Cheers Claudia P.S. I tried to modify guy038’s regex but didn’t get it done :-( but I learned and replace \r\n with \R :-)

    Hi Claudia, No, It’s not related to the complexity of the regex ! It’s just that the step-by-step replace doesn’t work at all, as soon as the search regex contains, at least, one \K form :-(( Though I don’t know exactly why !? Consider the subject string below : abc abcdef abcdefghi abcdefghidefjkl With the simple S/R SEARCH abc\Kdef and REPLACE 123, if I click on the Replace All button, we get the right text : abc abc123 abc123ghi abc123ghidefjkl Note that the second string def has not been changed, because it wasn’t just after an abc string. That’s correct ! On the contrary, if I click, several times on the Replace button, nothing has changed !!! Cheers, guy038 P.S.: I’ve just realized that the bug exists too, if we use a look-behind, instead of the \K form ! So, the S/R SEARCH (?<=abc)def and REPLACE 123 does the job, if you click on the Replace All button, ONLY ! Remember that, due to the look-behind feature, this regex tries to match a def string, only if preceded by the string abc

    Hello Greg, may I ask you which version of npp you are using as this issue should have been solved already. Some 5.8… version if I remember correctly. In the meantime I edited hosts file on a windows7 x64 pc with npp 6.8.7 and do not have the problem you described. Cheers Claudia

    I’m afraid, no - it was requested as a feature but developer never implemented it. The only shortcuts you can defined are to show NppFTP window to focus NppFTP window to call about NppFTP Not very helpful if you want one for uploading. Cheers Claudia

    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

    @webdevpug, should I try and ask developers of the NPP to look into issue? I would give it a try, why not? There are already a lot of the scintilla styling parameters defined why not asking to provide the rest of it as well. There might be a reason not to do so but I guess asking can’t hurt.
