@PeterJones Thank you very much for such detailed explanation. You are right the crux of the problem was the fact I confused what was N++ functionality and what was that of the plug-in (you know how it goes, I installed that plug-in many years, it all just worked with every N++ update, so I did not give a thought to it).

Upon realising my mistake, I was able to fix it myself using information on the page of the manual you referred to (the xml-file was in the old format, in deed, so the icon set look got back to what I want it to be as soon as I edited the file in accordance with provided guidelines).

Thank you again, you have been most helpful!

@Zaine-Pittman ,

what I want my website’s lists to look like

Wait! So are you saying you are trying to change what your website looks like? That is, that you want to control how a browser controls the rendering of your HTML? No setting in Notepad++ will change how the browser renders your HTML. You need to find an HTML help site to teach you how to affect the presentation of <ol> and <ul> on HTML websites. Notepad++ cannot change how your website is rendered. The settings Alan and I were talking about are purely controlling how Notepad++ will render a list when it is editing the file.

That worked. You are the best!!!

@John-Humkey said in How to COMPLETELY undo Dark Mode?:

the icons at the top (3rd line) are now wireframe, even when I turn Dark Mode off.
Ok, that ticked me off, but I was living with it.

You don’t have to live with it, you just have to manually change your toolbar back to the standard icons.

Go to Settings -> Preferences. -> General (Preferences should start with the General section) and there is a Toolbar group of radio buttons. Change from whichever FluentUI icons you have (Probably FluentUI: Small) to Standard Icons: Small

@PeterJones Thank you that answers it :)

@Mate-Kikolashvili ,

why this tags showing on website?

It sounds like you are asking something like “I have the code mentioned in the screenshot, but when I uploaded it to my webserver and look at it with my browser, I see the raw code rather than seeing a normal webpage. Why is this?” The answer is probably one of two answers: 1) Because you didn’t name the file right. Or (2) you didn’t set up the website server right.

And the question would have the same answer whether you happened to type your HTML using Notepad++ or MS Notepad or copy con > filename. Since it doesn’t matter what editor you used for the typing, this question is not an appropriate question for a Notepad++ forum, and is off-topic here.

If you have more questions about how to set up a webserver and/or properly name website files, find a forum about web development.

If you have any questions that are specifically about Notepad++ itself, feel free to ask them in this forum.

@Another-github-user-2 said in Am I going mad? Yes.:

Had pasted the RegEx in to Microsoft Teams wiki for future reference, then copied it back out. Apparently Teams inserts a number of U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE [ZWSP] characters after every opening brace.

So what is the conclusion here?

Teams is at fault for adding things into your data that you didn’t want

Notepad++ is at fault for not showing you this extra stuff

something else?

@Paul-Wormer said in how to add more then 1024 new lines at once?:

@PeterJones Maybe the following is a useful clarifying remark to your solution. Because I did not know the word “pilcrow”, I googled it and found that it is the technical term for “paragraph sign” (¶). I presume that more non-native speakers of English besides myself don’t know it. One can enter the symbol by hitting alt-20 (2 and 0 on the numeric keypad while keeping alt pressed).

I’m sorry. I thought in context, where I had 15 ¶ symbols in the replacement, followed by the description that the replacement put in 15 pilcrow symbols, that it would correlate the ¶ symbol with the word “pilcrow”, even if as a non-native or native English speaker you did not know that technical term.

Also, one can get the “pilcrow” / “paragraph sign” by copy/pasting the exact sequences I used in my post. (I personally have windows builtin charmap.exe as one of my saved Notepad++ Run-menu entries so that I can easily run the charmap to find fancy characters while typing in Notepad++… and I have a script set up in PythonScript that will convert sequences like \0xXXXX or \u+XXXX into the unicode character at the hex codepoint XXXX.

@Marc-Forward

If your langauge is called MyCoolLanguage, then all you need in the EnhanceAnyLexer config is

[MyCoolLanguage] 0xcccccc = ‹.*?›

I just set mine to the default “User Defined Language”, which needs [udf] as the config-file header, but this shows it working:
f1b71f4b-54b2-4f74-980d-1ff2a332d047-image.png

You could obtain a group one in your find string by changing it to: (?<=\x20{6})(.*)$

@Brennan-OBrien said in Combining offset lines:

changing the last {4} to {5} and {6} respectively solved it

Good to hear. It could also have been dealt with by using {4,6} which would handle all 3 cases in one go. (Speaking of which, with this problem fresh in your mind, it might be a good time to peruse the regex documentation just enough to identify the pieces that were used in the solution expressions.)

@PeterJones said in Sort ignoring leading 'the':

You can record that as a macro

Ooops sorry. I was basing that on a comment you made on a previous post of mine but I misunderstood part of it and thought you had said only search/replace could be recorded as macro. You had actually said the only ‘dialog-based action’ that could be recorded was a search/replace. I thought the sort in this instance would be problematic but it’s not a dialog. So I’ve created a macro and can now sort with ignore. Thanks again!!

Thank you so much guys. I am pretty new to all of this and I see I have a lot to learn :)

I will get this set up now!

I would go this way

9f54e52c-68fd-43c2-8514-e02853038a75-image.png

mark all lines containing a number with 5 or more digits: \d{5,}
right-click on one of the bookmark symbols (the blue dots) and select remove unmarked lines

@AlexMcGopher

This looks like error list files.
Currently, including 8.4.6 there is no native Npp way to implement this, but you can install the PythonScript plugin and use this with a script such as provided here.

@musikerv Thanks much this is the easy way to make changes.
BTW, npp = the program itself Notepad++

Using the tab Settings and then Preferences

@Bernard-Danino ,

The first step is easy: If you have an ANSI-coded file (I am assuming Windows-1252), Notepad++ can open that directly. Then use Encoding > Convert to UTF-8 to convert it to UTF8. Save it (I would recommend under a new name or new directory, so that you don’t lose your original, in case something goes wrong).

Notepad++'s regular expression syntax knows something called equivalence classes, which matches a letter and all its accented variants. So [[=a=]] would match any of àáâãäå – that is, any accented a. So you could do a series of search/replaces to do each of the equivalence classes one at a time. Unfortunately, equivalence classes are also case-insensitive, so [[=a=]] also matches all the upper case versions ÀÁÂÃÄÅ. So if you did that match, and then replaced with a, it would take all the upper case variants (including a plain A) and make it lower case. My guess is this would be a deal breaker for you. (Clicking “Match Case” will not prevent that, nor will using (?-i) to make the regex case-sensitive.)

As an alternative, you could just make your own set-based character class, [àáâãäå], checkmark “Match Case”, and replace with a, and that would un-accent all the accented a variants. (If French doesn’t use all those, you could make a shorter list in the set.)

You could also use alternation and capture groups in your search expression, and conditional substitution in your replacement expression, and build up something that can do the de-accent in one fell swoop. (You could even record it as a macro, so that you can assign a keystroke to your “deaccent macro”)

For example,

FIND = (?-i:([àáâãäå])|([ÀÁÂÃÄÅ])|([èéêë])) I included the (?-i:...) wrapper to make it case sensitive, even if you forget to checkmark Match Case REPLACE = (?{1}a)(?{2}A)(?{3}e) this says if group 1 (the lowercase accented a’s) matched, replace with a, if uppercase A-accents match in group 2, replace with A, etc. SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression REPLACE multiple times, or REPLACE ALL

Hopefully, you can see how to expand my example to include other accented characters – put each list of accents in a ([...]) separated by |, and add a new (?{###}x) replacement for each.

All of these assume you are using Search Mode = Regular Expression.
