@mpheath , I am curious: do you think it’s enough to warrant trying to get v1 in Plugins Admin for the upcoming v8.9.8 RC? Or should I give more time for more people to test? (Or do you think it’s really worth publishing at all?) (And secondary question: for getting the styler output from SciTE, are you just running TestLexers.exe from a N++ or just-scintilla build? or is there another way of generating that? I have my PythonScript styleDebugger script for doing it inside N++, but was curious if there was an easy way to do it directly from SciTE)

@guy038 said: I didn’t say that anormalous characters appear. I just said that no replacement occurs at all ! You might be confusing @m-andre-z-eckenrode’s topic (\W)'(\w) Regex replace failure, about Notepad++, and this topic, about Search++, with the same search. He was surprised that Notepad++ found the text but would not replace it. The cause is how Notepad++ treats CRLF pairs combined with how it decides whether Replace should replace or find next — as I wrote there, whether it is a bug is, I suppose, a matter of opinion. Search++ has a different potentially user-unfriendly behavior: with different find or replace expressions (any regular expression that can match starting with an LF, combined with a replacement string that doesn’t copy the first matched character as the first character of the replacement) a user could invisibly change line endings from CRLF to just CR (though if the user understands the regular expression and replacement entered, it would be expected). Notepad++ has the same behavior as Search++ when using Replace All (including that it can replace the LF in a CRLF pair with something else); it’s just step-by-step replace that can find but fail to replace (for the same reason that \K doesn’t work in step-by-step native searches). In this topic, the problem is that Search++ is, apparently randomly, replacing with garbage instead of the correct replacement string. I have not yet found a possible cause. It does not happen on my machine.

@Afik-Gilboa said: in windows 11, the plugin reset itself every time i open npp Could you be a little more specific? For one, add your ?-menu’s Debug Info, which will tell us exactly which version of Notepad++ and which version of NppFTP you are using. For another, what do you mean by “reset itself”? Does that mean that all the settings go away? Or that just your profiles go away but not your other settings? Or does that mean the panel positions reset? Or something else happens? I have been running NppFTP (0.29.15) on recent Notepad++ versions on Windows 11 for over a year, and it’s never “reset itself” in any way that I would consider a reset. So without more information, “I cannot replicate.”

@M-Andre-Z-Eckenrode said: @Coises As you I recently reported an issue with Search++ in a new, separate topic, but I see that several others have reported various issues in this one (presumably, because it’s still a work in progress). I have a new issue to report, and thought maybe I should ask if you prefer that new issues get reported in their own topic (which is generally my default), or for users to just include them in this one. Do you care one way or the other? Either way is OK with me. I suspect the moderators might prefer to keep discussion confined to this topic, though.

1.2.2 Syntax highlighting PowerShell Improved absolute, relative, quoted and unquoted paths colors [image: 1785402977913-paths.png] Improved variables interpolation colors [image: 1785402952228-interpolation.png] [image: 1785402954396-interpolation4.png] Added colors for expressions $(..), ${..} Added registry hives colors (HKLM, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, …) Fixed syntax highlighting Fixed variables colors inside paths and quotes Fixed excessive colors of variables, keywords, and functions enclosed in quotes Fixed unexpected sc.. and vk.. colors in AutoHotkey code Disabled colors for variables inside single quotes ' ' (because single quotes prevents var. interpolation)

@Coises You’re welcome, and thank YOU for promptly creating the new version, and for your plugins in general to begin with! The new one lets me exit without incurring any dialog.

@arnaud-derette said: I does not work in the operator 2 list either (or may be i need to do something more than just put § there ?) Like I said, because you want the § to not have spaces, like in parent§.D, it won’t work for you. § in operators 2 will only work if you can have spaces around the §

@rdipardo thank you for pointing that out. I will check and do the needful.

Thank you again for your help.

@chtaylo3 , You only need to post in the “Support for Plugins Admin & NppPluginList” topic if there’s a feature or bug with the Plugins Admin and the list DLL itself. If there are issues with your PR to add it to NppPluginList, those will be discussed in the PR itself – and it looks like yours has been accepted already. If you want to just announce your new plugin, you can just create a new Topic in the Plugin Category to tell us about it. Hence, I am moving your post to its own Topic. And congrats on creating a lexer plugin!

NppExec v0.8.12.1 has been released! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes! improved: now WarningAnalyzer automatically removes “” around a file path/name fixed: the Console Output Filters dialog did not clear WarningAnalyzer’s cache improved: now Highlight’s [I], [B], [U] have Italic, Bold and Underline style Get it here: https://github.com/d0vgan/nppexec/releases/tag/NppExec_v08121

@Michael-Vincent Thanks for the feedback ;) fixed with : https://github.com/gcyrillus/nppGitClone/releases/tag/V1.0.1

@Michael-Vincent and anyone reading :) Besides the jokes, i’d like some real feedback about the plugin, the code and mainly about the fact that gemini assisted me … Be critical without trolling, do not be afraid to point out all of the funny code, nonsense and incoherence that a light IA can bring within your code unless there is some goods in it . Good jokes are also welcome ;)

v0.012 released to CPAN Update for Notpead++ v8.5.4 - v8.9.6.4 Update Editor messages and enumerations (hashes) Update Notepad++ menu commands and messages Remove notepad->prompt() and the Win32::GUI dependency [#91] Please comment on Issue #92 if this call is important to you <https://github.com/pryrt/Win32-Mechanize-NotepadPlusPlus/issues/92> Improve test suite Get it working through Perl v5.42 Don’t test as many old versions (too much compute overhead) See CHANGES file for full history, including interveninng v0.009, v0.010, and v0.011 I don’t always post about new versions here (mostly because I get distracted and forget to). But I thought it was important on this one, because notepad->prompt() has been disabled in this version: if notepad->prompt() is important to you, please comment on https://github.com/pryrt/Win32-Mechanize-NotepadPlusPlus/issues/92 and stick with v0.011, which (until further notice) is the most recent version to include the notepad->prompt()

@medvidec It’s impossible to know for sure without seeing your code, but I doubt the issue has anything to do with Notepad++. If this “global variable” is supposed to be shared between multiple C++ source files, you have to do the following: declare the variable in a header file as extern, e.g.: // your_header.h #include <string> extern const std::string configFile; include “your_header.h” in every source file that uses configFile . provide a definition (at global scope) of configFile in one (and only one) of the source files that includes “your_header.h”: // source_file.cpp #include "your_header.h" // ... const std::string configFile = "/plugins/config/verilogConfig.txt"; // ... You can read about storage class specifiers to learn more.

MultiReplace 6.0 is out and will land in Plugin Admin with the next Notepad++ release. The focus of this release is a second formula engine: ExprTk now sits alongside Lua for math, string and conditional replacements, joined by multi-list tabs, tandem mode, and a series of UI and workflow improvements. Several new options live under Plugins > MultiReplace > Settings. Download: Latest build Key Features & Improvements New Formula Engine (ExprTk): A second engine alongside Lua for math, string and conditional replacements. Its standout is the built-in output formatter - a single declarative spec that turns any result into fixed decimals, hex/binary, padded and aligned fields, time durations or formatted dates, applied right where the value is produced. Switch per tab via the (L) / (E) indicator next to Formula Support. The ExprTk integration - the (?=...) marker and the formula functions for reading captures and earlier results - follows the approach pioneered by @Coises in Columns++. Full syntax and examples are in the ExprTk formula reference. List Tabs: Keep different replacement sets available across tabs. State is fully separate per tab. Tandem Mode: MR panel snaps to the Notepad++ window edge and follows it around. Toggle via the plugin menu. Reopen on Startup: Reopens MR automatically if it was open when you closed Notepad++. Opt-in via the plugin menu. Compact Toolbar: New top toolbar layout - more horizontal space for the list. Always Visible List: Keeps the list visible instead of collapsing when you toggle it off. Requires “Keep list always visible” enabled in Settings. Bookmark Matches: Sets a Notepad++ bookmark on every match line. Toggle via the new checkbox next to Mark Matches. Column Reorder & Lock: Drag column headers to rearrange. Right-click for “Lock column width” or “Reset Column Order”. Modified Timestamp Column: Optional column tracking the last edit per entry. A dirty-flag stripe on the left edge marks unsaved changes. Excel-Compatible CSV: Lists save in the standard CSV dialect used by spreadsheets - opens cleanly in Excel, edit there, load back without conversion. Keyboard Shortcuts Ctrl+Up/Down: Move selected rows up or down (auto-repeat) Ctrl+L: Toggle list visibility from anywhere in the panel Alt+Up/Down: Round-trip between input fields and a selected row Ctrl+Shift + button click: Run from the input fields while the list stays open Ctrl+Shift+H: Pull selected editor text into Find what (optionally auto-escaped for Regex/Extended mode) [image: 1780756837071-multireplace6.png] Issues or suggestions: GitHub. Happy replacing!
