@PeterJones Thanks for the solution! I really appreciate that. So it turns out that I can use regex to do it. I’m embarassed that my regex skill hasn’t improved much. It seems to decline instead after long hiatus. If time allows, I want to relearn it so that I don’t have to keep asking here.

@Benjamin-Zimmerman ,

The portable edition, which can be unzipped and run into any directory where you have write permission, can be used with no admin access needed.

But please note that I am not advocating violating your company’s IT policies: if you are not allowed to install or use software that hasn’t been approved by your IT department, then don’t.

@mkupper Whelp, that fixed it. Once I replaced it with the former tmp, it worked just fine, and I’m able to modify macros.

Still not quite sure why this was the case, but this definitely is a simpler test/fix than making a copy of the entire directory.

Thanks, everyone, for the assistance.

@PeterJones said in Mark with same function jumping to row as Find?:

But Mark with the ☑ Bookmark Line option turned on will also bookmark the lines, then F2 (Search > Bookmark > Next Bookmark) will navigate you through the bookmarked lines.

I don’t know if this works well if there are already a smattering of bookmarks, and the newest text match can be anywhere in the file, i.e., OP wants to go to the specific text, which may not be the next bookmark…

Or, even without Bookmark Line, after doing a normal Mark, you can use F3 (Search > Find Next) to navigate to the next match.

Ah, yes, THAT may be the solution!

I need to replace C: 0 d: 2 d: 1 with C: 0 d: 2 d: 2 in the below content wherein "“MicroSCADA DV DataSource”

Try this using Regular Expression mode:
Search: ^(C"MicroSCADA DV DataSource".+\R)C: +0 +d: +2 +d: +1
Replace: $1C: 0 d: 2 d: 2

@AshutoshTiwari2017 said in Notepad++ does not change after update:

Start-Process -FilePath “$env:TEMP$( Split-Path -Path $DownloadUrl -Leaf )” -ArgumentList “/S” -Wait

As you are using the silent N++ installation, it could be connected to:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/10189

v8.6+ installers contain a fix for such partial incomplete installations:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/5c80be7667eb84f0345ef827cab030724c2e13c6

But still - the N++ cannot be silently installed/upgraded when an instance of N++ is running. To allow this a new installer switch “/closeRunningNpp” needs to be implemented for the silent installations.

@Martin-Vlach ,

Copy themes\original.xml to themes\your.xml , and change the name inside the XML to Your Theme Name Open Notepad++ Settings > Style Configurator > Select Theme: Your Theme Name Use Style Configurator to edit your theme When you exit Notepad++, it will save your theme

You would then save a copy of themes\your.xml and then put it on any new computer / new installation where you want that theme.

(Clarification: original.xml, your.xml and Your Theme Name are intended as placeholders: use reasonable values, not literally what I put.)

@PeterJones That check auto-indent was disabled, the problem is solved. Thank you so much for your help and your patience

@Lycan-Thrope I know but I use it momentarily to simulate a written exam I have to take

@mkupper said in An application suddenly stopped processing a Notepad++ text file:

I accidentally pressed some combination of buttons that converted one of the spaces into some kind of special space - longer than usual. I don’t know what exactly that was, but it was quite invisible between the lines, and I only discovered it by moving the cursor up by hand.

It’s a pity you don’t have more exact information about this, because I’m fairly certain you can’t get a “special space” in this way (although @Coises recently pointed out some non-English keyboard where a special keycombo involving the spacebar inserts a “special space” – so maybe that’s it? – see HERE).

Notepad++'s default settings, shown here:

5bf0ce67-de69-423e-944b-dcd843311242-image.png

should show you if you get any kind of “special character” inserted into your document. The effect would be very obvious, e.g. see ZWNJ character in the sample below:

0f1f6410-f8fa-4db7-b4b3-05d55bf35655-image.png

Notepad++ needs to have some warning system for these types of very casual replacements. I probably held down Shift or Control or Alt, and voila. Maybe a beep?

I think the visual effect is enough. There shouldn’t be any other sort of “casual replacement” – if you think there is, please provide further detail.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Multi-edit:

No one would actually use these commands from the menus.

I cannot remember any more keystrokes, so I’m not likely to assign a keyboard shortcut. Instead, if I find myself wanting to use the new features, I’ll probably add them to the contextMenu.xml, so they’re just a local right-click away.

… But yes, if I do end up using them often, it will need to be easier access than having to move my mouse cursor up to the main menu system.

Hello, @glo and All,

Not difficult with regular expressions !

SEARCH (?<=:)\w

REPLACE \u$0

Radio button Regular expression set

Click on the Replace All button

@Coises THANK YOU SO MUCH!

By default the regex engine is case insensitive meaning a-z and A-Z are the same.

it did not occur (to me) that a language like regex with separate options for uppercase and lowercase could have any case insensitivity enabled by default.

It actually isn’t case sensitive by default. But because the Notepad++ user interface to searching has a Match case checkbox, the state of that become part of the operation. If uncheckmarked when the operation starts, then, well…

For regex purists, perhaps always starting your regex with (?-i) – which overrides the state of the Match case checkbox – is the way to go.

I will wait for feedback on the latest version before updating the distributed plugin list: https://bitbucket.org/rdipardo/dbgp/src/v0.14.2/CHANGELOG.txt

This thread has already climbed the search engine rankings for Xdebug issues, so I didn’t want to leave the impression that DBGp is unmaintained.

Lesson learned: Delphi Strings are implicitly passed by reference (as if the type identifier were PChar instead). That means this method would overwrite a validly escaped file URI with the file’s literal path — spaces, backslashes, and all — which the debugger obviously can’t find. Still no luck getting UNC paths to resolve to proper URIs, but that seems to be a known issue with Xdebug itself.

Simply getting the source command to execute was only the beginning of the trouble. The message parsing code was written for an obsolete spec, when error nodes were simple text elements. Treating them as such was raising DOM exceptions that obscured real debugger errors, and calling methods on a missing node object would cause the occasional access violation. Then I found out the socket destructor would be invoked twice; once when the temporary source map was unloaded, once more when the socket closed, and the second time around it tried to look up the same unloaded file, calling a method on a member object it had already freed.

All of this came to light only after source mapping started to work, but only for local files in ideal conditions, which makes me wonder about the stability of future releases. The feature set of current versions is definitely crippled, but that also means they can’t fail too dangerously. Like the classic car it really is, DBGp is not for daily driving.

@June-Wang

I presume you mean you want to use the PythonScript plugin to write some code to do what you’ve asked.

I also presume that you want the output to appear in the Search results panel, just like it would if you were doing an interactive Find All in Current Document.

It’s a bit of a task because there is no “connection” between PythonScript and writing to the Search results panel, meaning that PS provides no API function call such as notepad.writeToSearchResults(...).

Maybe the ideas in THIS THREAD give a possible approach…

This is awesome. Really awesome. So neat feature, I think I will use it very often. Thank you for your help! And thank you to the people who decided to implement this!

@Altevir-Gomes If you feel your English in not good enough, you can still learn Expressões Regulares (Em Portuguese do Brasil)" studying the following book:

https://www.piazinho.com.br/#download

The book dedicates a few pages to Notepad++ in chapter 6.

@David-Kerber

Columns++ (which Alan mentioned) is not yet available through the Plugins Admin in Notepad++, but you can find the latest release here. If you have Notepad++ installed in the default location, you can use the “Quick Installer” link in that release description — just download it and run it.

The function you want is described here in the help. You can check that out first to see if seems like it will work for you.
