@rdipardo Sorry for sneaking into this discussion, but I just whipped up a quick 5-minute example. While it’s a simple solution and might not cover all nuances, maybe it can serve as a starting point or a simple helper:

Find what: (\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)
Replace with: cond(CAP1 > 0 and CAP2 == 0 and CAP3 == 0, MATCH, cond(CAP2 > 0 and CAP3 == 0, " " .. MATCH, " " .. MATCH))list structure.gif

This example showcases how you can use multiple formatting combinations. Additionally, it’s worth noting that you can also set multiple formatting steps sequentially to achieve more complex patterns.

Please note that this plugin will be rolled out with the next Notepad++ update. However, you can download it in advance here.
As mentioned, it’s a quick workaround and might need refinements to handle all possible scenarios.

@PeterJones said in Dumb question time: compatible-versions and old-versions-compatibility — What am I missing?:

at some indeterminate time in the future

Thanks, @PeterJones. That pretty much explains why I couldn’t make sense of it: it’s not something that does anything useful now, just a guess at what might be useful in the future. I won’t worry much about it, then — guesses about what might be useful in the future have a high rate of irrelevance when the future arrives, no matter who is doing the guessing.

@Mark-Olson
I know XMLTools, I use it in parallel. But I think XPatherizerNPP is more useful with evaluating XPath expressions. XPatherizerNPP has some issues with out of memory exceptions when used with large XML files so I was looking for a x64 version. Maybe I can find some time to make a port of the original Plugin.

If you’re referring to NotepadPlusPlusPluginPack.Net, it’s not “out of date”!

Maybe @Zigy-WasTaken meant the age of the last stable release (0.94.00), from 2018. Even the 2021 “beta” release is now 40 commits behind the trunk, and there is still an unpatched issue affecting the binary compatibility of the ScNotification structure, whereby the Updated field seems to be getting clobbered by an out-of-bounds write.

All things that capable .NET developers can fix on their own, of course, if they’re not turned off by the “some assembly required” caveat. But what is an absolute beginner supposed to do?

@rdipardo it’s not so much the ability to break/abuse it, it’s the fact that there is a correlation between the order of entries in your plugin menu and the docking dialogue(s) you can open from your plugin.

Hello, @maverick-f-16c, @peterjones, @coises, @terry-r, @mark-olson and All,

Ah… OK. If your two files have approximately 300K lines, my previous regex S/R won’t probably find nothing as it’s over the usual capacities of the Boost regex engine of Notepad++ !

So, I would choose the @coises’s way, using the N++ sort to get the right results. I did not fully read the @coises’s method and I prefer start from scratch !

So, let’s suppose we start with two files :

File_1.txt : FFF = 79 K = 6 C = 4 A = 8 XXX = 7 H = 51 BB = 6 E = 0 GA = 339 J = 4 DZ = 9 II = 6 File_2.txt : E = 5 J = 0 FFF = 4 ZYX = 1 A = 0 II = 18 DZ = 2 K = 6 C = 17 H = 27

Note that the records, in these two files, are randomly sorted, on purpose !

As in my previous post, create a new File_3.txt with the contents of File_1.txt, a separation line of some @ chars then the contents of File_2.txt : FFF = 79 K = 6 C = 4 A = 8 XXX = 7 H = 51 BB = 6 E = 0 GA = 339 J = 4 DZ = 9 II = 6 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ E = 5 J = 0 FFF = 4 ZYX = 1 A = 0 II = 18 DZ = 2 K = 6 C = 17 H = 27

Now, execute , successively, the two regex S/R, below :

• SEARCH \x3D • REPLACE ( )\x3D

Then :

SEARCH (?-s)^.{40}\K\x20+

REPLACE Leave it EMPTY

Click only on the Replace All button

You should get this OUTPUT :

FFF = 79 K = 6 C = 4 A = 8 XXX = 7 H = 51 BB = 6 E = 0 GA = 339 J = 4 DZ = 9 II = 6 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ E = 5 J = 0 FFF = 4 ZYX = 1 A = 0 II = 18 DZ = 2 K = 6 C = 17 H = 27

Then, move the caret on the first line, at column 25

Select a 12×0 rectangular selection of all the records BEFORE the @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ line

Type in the A letter

Select the column editor ( Alt + C )

Select Number to Insert with all zones = 1, fill in with the 0 char and click on the OK button

Then move to the first line, at column 25, AFTER the @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ line

Again do a 10×0 **rectangular selection of all the records AFTER the @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ line

Type in the B letter

Select the column editor ( Alt + C )

Select Number to Insert with all zones = 1, fill in with the 0 char and click on the OK button

You should get this OUTPUT :

FFF A01 = 79 K A02 = 6 C A03 = 4 A A04 = 8 XXX A05 = 7 H A06 = 51 BB A07 = 6 E A08 = 0 GA A09 = 339 J A10 = 4 DZ A11 = 9 II A12 = 6 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ E B01 = 5 J B02 = 0 FFF B03 = 4 ZYX B04 = 1 A B05 = 0 II B06 = 18 DZ B07 = 2 K B08 = 6 C B09 = 17 H B10 = 27 Now, perform a classical sort, using the Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending option

We get :

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ A A04 = 8 A B05 = 0 BB A07 = 6 C A03 = 4 C B09 = 17 DZ A11 = 9 DZ B07 = 2 E A08 = 0 E B01 = 5 FFF A01 = 79 FFF B03 = 4 GA A09 = 339 H A06 = 51 H B10 = 27 II A12 = 6 II B06 = 18 J A10 = 4 J B02 = 0 K A02 = 6 K B08 = 6 XXX A05 = 7 ZYX B04 = 1 Delete the @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ line

Then, run the following regex S/R :

SEARCH (?-s)^((\w+)\x20+A.+?)\d+(?=\R\2\x20+B.+=\x20+(\d+))

REPLACE \1\3

The OUTPUT is now changed as :

A A04 = 0 A B05 = 0 BB A07 = 6 C A03 = 17 C B09 = 17 DZ A11 = 2 DZ B07 = 2 E A08 = 5 E B01 = 5 FFF A01 = 4 FFF B03 = 4 GA A09 = 339 H A06 = 27 H B10 = 27 II A12 = 18 II B06 = 18 J A10 = 0 J B02 = 0 K A02 = 6 K B08 = 6 XXX A05 = 7 ZYX B04 = 1

Note : As you can see, due to the previous sort, the search regex just need to find, each time, two consecutive lines of the form :

ABCD A#1 = xxx ABCD B#2 = yyy

Which begin with the same value ABCD and replace the xxx value by the yyy value. This explains why this solution should work with huge files, without any problem !

Now, move again the cursor on the first line, at column 25

Perform a 22×0 ( or 22×3 ) rectangular selection of all the records

Once more, use the Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending option

We get :

FFF A01 = 4 K A02 = 6 C A03 = 17 A A04 = 0 XXX A05 = 7 H A06 = 27 BB A07 = 6 E A08 = 5 GA A09 = 339 J A10 = 0 DZ A11 = 2 II A12 = 18 E B01 = 5 J B02 = 0 FFF B03 = 4 ZYX B04 = 1 A B05 = 0 II B06 = 18 DZ B07 = 2 K B08 = 6 C B09 = 17 H B10 = 27

Finally, use this regex S/R, to get, in File_3.txt, the updated values of File_1.txt ( from File_2.txt )

SEARCH (?-is)\x20+(A)\d+\x20+|^.+\x20B(?s).+

REPLACE ?1\x20

FFF = 4 K = 6 C = 17 A = 0 XXX = 7 H = 27 BB = 6 E = 5 GA = 339 J = 0 DZ = 2 II = 18

Notes :

As you can verify, the order of the lines, in File_3.txt, is identical to the initial order of these lines in File_1.txt

The records, present in File_1.txt and not in File_2.txt, are not changed

The records, present in File_2.txt and not in File_1.txt, are not added, either

Again, this solution should work in all cases, even with files with million of lines !

Best Regards,

guy038

Hi Plugin Community,

I have managed to test my plugin using notepad++ old version 7.8.9.

Thanks,
Ahmoy Law

@PeterJones Ok thanks.

@JustAnother-GoogleHater said in PSA: BracketCheck and CSS:

The BracketCheck

Do you mean the BracketsCheck plugin?

I’ve never used it or installed it, so I don’t know what it’s capabilities are or are not.

However, the latest in Plugins Admin is only v1.2.2, whereas the plugin’s Releases page currently lists v1.2.3 as the newest. You might want to try installing the newest copy from the plugin’s Releases page, to see if it’s already fixed your problem.

If it still doesn’t behave the way you want, I would suggest checking the plugin’s issues, and if your issue hasn’t been reported by someone else, create a new issue there.

Because while maybe someone here in the forum knows enough to be able to help you (though I don’t remember people mentioning it recently), if they can confirm it’s truly a bug or missing feature, that plugin’s developer will need to be the one to be notified, not us fellow Notepad++ Users.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Breakpoints disabled in release mode:

I’d run in Debug build mode, but there are some assertions that fire when I have certain data in a Scintilla editing window, and these “get in the way” of what I’m trying to debug.

If you right-click the Notepad++ project in the Solution Explorer pane and select Properties, under Linker there is a Debugging page. Select the Release configuration and change Generate Debug Info to “Generate Debug Information (/DEBUG)”; that should let you compile as for release, but with symbols. Just remember not to commit the changes to the .sln file.

@Coises Many thanks!!!

@Alan-Kilborn To be fair, there are two files. Both of which are a bit light on detail.

@Thomas-Knoefel
I’m afraid I have no useful experience.

Since I didn’t plan for any of my dialogs to be dockable, I’m just using ordinary Windows dialogs, built using the resource editor in Visual Studio. Since the resource editor’s toolbox doesn’t offer a status bar control, on the one dialog I have that does show a status line at the bottom, I’m just using a static text control — which means, no sizing grip.

I’m not sure if I could manually edit the .rc file to add a “STATUSBAR” control; I haven’t tried. I assume that would make the dialog uneditable in the resource editor, and I don’t really want that. Maybe someday, if everything else is working so perfectly that that level of polish is the only priority left…

I finally managed to switch the StaticDialog Window into DarkMode using NPPM_DARKMODESUBCLASSANDTHEME. Making the switch to StaticDialog effectively resolved the window resizing issue.

I also wanted to have it on my Android tablet, found it,
but unfortunately the lines of numbers are very small there.

Sorry, the various “Notepad++” apps that are available in the Google Play store (yes, I just searched and found at least two) are not truly Notepad++, and are not controlled by the real Notepad++ development team. As a result, the Windows Notepad++ developers cannot do anything to change the app for you, and we fellow Windows Notepad++ users are not experts on that completely separate software, and will not be able to tell you how to use that Android app.

Tut mir leid, die verschiedenen „Notepad++“-Apps, die im Google Play Store verfügbar sind (ja, ich habe gerade gesucht und mindestens zwei gefunden), sind nicht wirklich Notepad++ und werden nicht vom echten Notepad++ Entwicklungsteam kontrolliert. Daher können die Entwickler von Windows Notepad++ nichts tun, um die App für Sie zu ändern, und wir Mitbenutzer von Windows Notepad++ sind keine Experten für diese völlig separate Software und können Ihnen nicht sagen, wie Sie diese Android-App verwenden.

@Ovismue-Veholkin ,

I have a personal User Defined Language (UDL) for TI-Basic / Extended Basic for the TI-99/4A. It doesn’t currently use those extensions (I’m not overly connected to the modern TI-users world, so I didn’t know there was a standard extension for TI-Basic files), but it highlights the syntax. I haven’t uploaded it to the public UDL Collection because I didn’t figure it would be of general use, since I don’t know how many Notepad++ users intersect with 99ers. So you can download that UDL definition into your %AppData%\Notepad++\userDefineLangs\ folder, then restart Notepad++ to make it see the new UDL) – and then you can manually add 8xp 8xk to the Language > User Defined Language > Define Your Language dialog’s User Language: TI-BASIC selection, in the Ext.: input which currently has TIBAS (so you would change it to TIBAS 8xp 8xk or just 8xp 8xk). (That said, I also am just assuming that by “TI-Basic”, you mean the BASIC that was used on the TI-99/4A; I don’t know if that name has a different meaning to other people. And if those extensions are for binary files that encode/store TI-Basic, like maybe for emulated “tape” storage or something, it won’t help, because Notepad++, as a text editor, has no way of understanding a binary file.)

As an aside: When we created the Themes Collection, I uploaded a theme that you might find amusing (though given that it’s inspired by the default TI-99/4A bright-cyan background color, I doubt anyone would want to use it on a regular basis. And no, when I made my UDL, I used standard light-theme color scheme, rather than a TI-inspired color scheme)

----
addenda: after making this post, I did a websearch, and found that 8xp appears to be the file extension for TI-83/84 calculator’s BASIC – confusing of Texas Instruments to use the same name for what are likely two totally different implementations of BASIC. My UDL probably won’t help you; sorry. And it wouldn’t surprise me if the 8xp/8xk extensions were binary files that compress the BASIC text into bytecodes/opcodes that the calculator uses internally; in which case, you would need an external converter to convert from binary to text, then edit the text in Notepad++, save it, then use a converter to convert it back to the binary format.

@Virginia-Chapman ,

The DSpellCheck plugin (available through Plugins > Plugins Admin), which is the standard spell check plugin for Notepad++, has both Hebrew and Arabic available through the default Hunspell library:

Install DSpellCheck: Plugins > Plugins Admin checkmark ☑ DSpellCheck click Install Notepad++ will restart Configure DSpellCheck: Plugins > DSpellCheck > Settings Confirm it’s on the default Library: Hunspell Click Download checkmark ☑ Arabic and ☑ Hebrew (Israel) click Install Selected select the correct Language: pulldown value to activate the appropriate dictionary (or select Multiple Langauges and then checkmark all the languages that you want active at the same time)

I think the source of the confusion is the outdated copyright notice, e.g.,

// This file is part of Notepad++ project // Copyright (C)2006 Jens Lorenz <jens.plugin.npp@gmx.de> // . . .

@ThosRTanner, just look at the git history and you’ll see that these files are not actually 17 years old.
