Hello Pavel, :+1: for understanding the OP. :) And thank you for the quick fix. BR

Maybe you want to take a look at https://sourceforge.net/projects/analyseplugin/. “AnalysePlugin will help you to search for more than one search pattern at a time. Great for analysing log files.”

@chcg I suppose so but if I was author of existing PM how much enthusiasm would I have for that, knowing that my great plugin is future-deprecated… :-(

Much appreciated Christian, thank you.

@Scott-Sumner said: previous memory held by T (if any) to be overwritten with new contents What I meant here I could have said better…“overwritten” and “new contents” may be rather vague…let me try again: Running repeatedly will cause the memory occupied by a previous T (if any) to be released, and memory to be allocated to hold the new T.

@Vitaliy-Dovgan Quote: “But writing the Manual is not that interesting as developing something new, especially taking into account that there are not many people in this world who actually read any manual.” I understand your point, but one reason why I like your plugin so much is that it provides a manual! I appreciate your effort to do this and I read it! Also I think your plugin should provide a manual because it’s a powerful plugin with a lot of features. Most useful is the chapter “Advanced usage” but you also provide some intersting details in other sections of the manual (e.g. “Using several copies of NppExec”). And the chapter “Compiling” inspired me to write a NppExec script which turns Notepad++ into some sort of simple IDE for 12 programming languages (including Batch, VBScript, InnoSetup, TSQL, Gnuplot, C and C#). Your plugin is for coders and I think you will find a lot of them reading manuals. Please continue your work on this regard.

@Ramon-Beiboer , Sorry that SCI_SELECTALL didn’t work for you. In my copy of NppExec 0.6 RC1 and 32bit NPP 7.5.6, the exact script I posted works (I just re-ran it to make sure), so I don’t know why it didn’t for you. And thanks, @Scott-Sumner, for chiming in with the hook examples

@babzog Shows for ME…which probably just means we need more details from YOU. :) [image: n1dzxKB.png]

Alright, thanks a lot, its already in github, let me make a post to share it here :)

Yes thats it exactly So sad… I’ll do without it. Maybe it could be an improvement to do to UDL? Thanks

Well if we are opening it up to scripts, then I’ll offer up the following Pythonscript; I call it DeleteLinesWithClipboardText.py: def DLWCT__main(): if not editor.getSelectionEmpty(): return # keep it simple; maybe prompt user to cancel selection and re-run... if not editor.canPaste(): return # keep it simple; maybe prompt user that no text is in clipboard... orig_document_len = editor.getTextLength() editor.beginUndoAction() editor.paste() pasted_text_len = editor.getTextLength() - orig_document_len curr_pos = editor.getCurrentPos() clipboard_text = editor.getTextRange(curr_pos - pasted_text_len, curr_pos) editor.deleteRange(curr_pos - pasted_text_len, pasted_text_len) if '\r' in clipboard_text or '\n' in clipboard_text: # keep it simple; don't allow multiline search text editor.endUndoAction() return del_line_list = [] find_start_pos = 0 while True: f = editor.findText(FINDOPTION.MATCHCASE, find_start_pos, editor.getTextLength(), clipboard_text) if f == None: break (found_start_pos, found_end_pos) = f line_nbr = editor.lineFromPosition(found_start_pos) if len(del_line_list) > 0: if del_line_list[0] != line_nbr: del_line_list.insert(0, line_nbr) else: del_line_list.append(line_nbr) find_start_pos = found_end_pos for line in del_line_list: editor.deleteLine(line) editor.endUndoAction() DLWCT__main() The only tricky part is in getting the clipboard data. I paste the clipboard contents into the document, read what was just pasted, and then delete those contents. After that it is a simple matter to locate the desired text and delete the lines it occurs on.
